Research / XAU/USD AI research copilot
Capability
An AI research copilot built for XAU/USD
Most AI chat tools answer gold questions from memory, so the price they quote can be days or months old. The RM Intelligence copilot checks the live market first. Before it answers, it reads the current XAU/USD price, computes the technicals it needs and consults our macro model, and it cites the source and time of every number.
What it does during a conversation
The copilot runs on Claude through the Anthropic API with tool use. Claude decides which tools a question needs, our server runs them against live data, and Claude writes the answer from the results. It has three read-only tools:
Live gold price
The current XAU/USD reference price with its observation time, freshness state (current, delayed or stale) and source. Primary feed: gold-api.com. Backup: RM's MT5 broker terminals.
Gold technicals
SMA20, SMA50, RSI14, ATR14 and the 20-bar range on 1-hour, 4-hour or daily candles, computed when it is asked rather than taken from a stored snapshot.
Gold macro model
Daily gold returns regressed on the 10-year real yield, the US dollar index and gold implied volatility, with a rich/cheap z-score and a model fair value.
Weekly CFTC positioning, US Treasury real yields and US CPI are attached as a timestamped workstation snapshot. The copilot has to say when any of these inputs is delayed or stale.
Gold macroeconomic analysis, grounded in data
Gold is usually explained through a few macro drivers: real interest rates, the US dollar, volatility, and positioning in futures markets. The copilot checks each one against current data before it draws a conclusion:
- Real yields: the 10-year US Treasury real yield, which captures the opportunity cost of holding a non-yielding asset.
- The US dollar: the ICE US Dollar Index against its 20-day average.
- Volatility: the CBOE Gold Volatility Index (GVZ).
- Positioning: managed-money net positions in COMEX gold futures from the CFTC Commitments of Traders report. This is weekly and measures futures only, not OTC spot flow.
The same inputs drive our free daily XAU/USD macro context report, so you can see what the copilot sees.
How it answers
- It opens with one assessment: WAIT, CONDITIONAL LONG, CONDITIONAL SHORT or INSUFFICIENT DATA.
- It says when the data it used was observed and flags anything delayed, stale or a proxy.
- It lists the evidence, the conditions, what would invalidate the view, event risk and any missing inputs, each in its own section.
- It tags every factual or numerical claim with a source reference.
- When evidence is mixed or a data feed has failed, it says so and answers WAIT. It never fills a gap with a guessed number.
Example question
Is gold rich or cheap versus real yields and the dollar right now, and does the daily trend agree?
To answer this, the copilot calls the macro model for the rich/cheap z-score, the live price tool for the current reference price, and the daily technicals for the 20- and 50-day averages. It then checks whether all three agree. If they do not, the answer is WAIT, with the reason.
What it will not do
- It does not place, route, modify or cancel orders. None of its tools can reach a trading account.
- It does not give personal investment advice, lot sizes for your account, or guaranteed outcomes.
- It never presents a reference price as an executable quote. Your broker's price, spread and contract terms decide the real numbers.
- It never asks for passwords, API keys or broker log-ins.
