Questions, answered plainly.

What's Aegis?

Aegis is the $249/mo plan for risk that recalculates every time the portfolio changes, with VaR and CVaR, factor exposure, scenario and stress tests, limits and an optimizer. It also covers multi-strategy sleeves and includes a 5,000-credit monthly grant.

What's a credit?

Credits pay for compute, and 100 credits cost US$1. A Vega research message is about 60 credits ($0.60), and a full walk-forward backtest starts at about 96 credits ($0.96), scaling with its history, factors and positions. You see the price before you run it.

Is TradePolaris MCP available now?

TradePolaris MCP is in an invite-only beta for Aegis members, with 2,000 successful read-only tool calls/day. Pro does not include MCP. Join the waitlist to request access.

Do I pay to use the charts?

No. TradingView Advanced Charts and all market-data views are free on every plan. Credits apply to compute-heavy Vega research and full walk-forward backtests.

Do credits expire?

No. Purchased credits and monthly plan grants roll over until you use them.

Can I use it for free?

Yes. Ask the Data and preview backtests are free with no card, and you get 200 free credits ($2) each month. The free plan also runs one full walk-forward backtest a month, paid from those credits, and keeps one strategy in paper trading, which costs nothing to run.

Do you work with funds and RIAs?

Yes. The Investment desks plan starts at $1,000/mo and covers multi-book and sleeve risk, onboarding, book migration, LP-ready reporting and priority support. Bulk data, service accounts, exports and team data access use a separate Kappa Data API agreement.
