Forex and metals

Track major forex pairs and precious metals / commodities with the same chat-driven workflow as stocks.

Find it at: /forex/:symbol for pairs and /metals/:symbol for metals & commodities. Reach either via top-bar symbol search or chat-card ticker.

1. Forex pairs​

Forex detail pages live at /forex/:symbol (asset-type 4 in getAssetDetailPath).

  • Layout. Single consolidated page — quote, chart with timeframe toggles, key stats, news strip.
  • What you see. Live bid/ask, daily range, recent percent change, multi-timeframe K-line.
  • Use cases. Macro overlay for equity / crypto views, dollar-strength context, cross-rate reads.
warning

The exact list of supported forex pairs (majors only vs majors + crosses vs majors + crosses + EM) is being finalized. Confirm with the product team before publishing a definitive symbol list.

2. Metals and commodities​

Metals and commodity detail pages live at /metals/:symbol (asset-type 3).

  • Coverage. Precious metals such as gold (XAU), silver (XAG), platinum, palladium, plus key commodity references such as crude oil and copper.
  • Layout. Single consolidated page combining quote, chart, and metal-specific data panes.
  • Specialized data. Through the getMetal* API surface — snapshot info, seasonality, hot list, commodity returns, futures open interest, gold ETF net flows, and copper inventories where applicable.

3. Differences from stocks​

Forex pairs and metals deliberately ship a lighter layout than US Stocks.

  • No multi-tab depth. No Financial sub-tabs — a metal has no balance sheet, and an FX pair has no income statement. Everything lives on a single page.
  • No Should-I-Buy / Price Prediction tabs. For directional questions, ask Alphio AI directly (see section 4).
  • Routing. getAssetDetailPath resolves these via asset_type === 3 for metals and asset_type === 4 for forex; locale === 'HK' and other rules do not apply.

4. Trading these assets​

The Alphio trade rails differ by asset:

  • Forex pairs. Currently research-only inside Alphio. For execution, use your existing broker.
  • Metals (e.g. XAU). Available on the Hyperliquid rail where the perpetual is listed — see Hyperliquid Perpetuals.
  • Commodity equities and ETFs. For exposure via equities (e.g. miners, oil majors) or commodity ETFs, use Stock Trading through SnapTrade.

For directional / hedging asks, talk to Alphio AI:

  • "Is XAUUSD overbought right now?"
  • "How has EURUSD reacted in the 48 hours after each ECB meeting this year?"
  • "Show me gold seasonality for the next 3 months."
