What it can do

Tool names and descriptions exactly as the server reported them on Nov 7, 2026. The maker wrote them, not us; we show them as plain text.

• portfolio_returns

  Look up how a portfolio, strategy or fund actually returned: seasonality by calendar month (average return, share of positive months, number of years and a t-statistic so a thin 'September effect' is not presented as a law), calendar-year returns with partial years labelled (opti

• portfolio_risk

  Answer both 'how bad did it get' and 'is it really diversified' for a built-in model portfolio, a canonical strategy or your own portfolio. Drawdowns: the deepest peak-to-trough episodes with months to trough and recovery, Ulcer index, longest time underwater, monthly VaR/CVaR 95

• compare_portfolios

  Compare 2 to 4 portfolios (built-in model portfolios, canonical strategies or your own allocations) side by side over their COMMON window, which is the only fair comparison: two pages' headline numbers usually cover different periods (a portfolio holding gold starts in 2004, the

• analyze_portfolio

  Analyze an asset-allocation ('lazy') portfolio and get long-run performance computed from real monthly price history (proxy-extended for decades of data), not estimated: CAGR, max drawdown, volatility, Sharpe, Sortino, Ulcer index, $10,000 growth, the number of independent bets (

• find_guides

  Search MarketHeist's 90 published research pages and get the page's own verdict and numbers, with its URL to cite: 18 strategy guides (60/40, All Weather, Golden Butterfly, DCA vs lump sum, ...), 26 fund-history pages (how far back an ETF can be tested), 18 trend-filter pages (wh

• list_portfolios

  List every portfolio and strategy the other tools accept by id, with a one-line description, holdings, headline CAGR / max drawdown / Sharpe with the start month and the data month, and the marketheist.io page and guide URLs. Three kinds: `template` (19 buy-and-hold model portfol

• fund_history

  Tell how far back a fund can be tested on MarketHeist once its history is extended with older substitute funds: the proxy chain (e.g. VXUS <- VGTSX), the extended start month, the ETF's own first month and, for the 26 funds with a history page, how closely each stand-in tracked t

• decompose_factors

  Explain WHAT DRIVES the returns of a ticker, ETF or built-in portfolio by decomposing them into common factor exposures (market, size, value, momentum, quality, low-volatility, duration, credit) plus an idiosyncratic residual. Use this when the user asks why two assets move toget

• run_backtest

  Backtest a trading strategy on any Yahoo Finance ticker and get authoritative performance metrics computed from real historical price data — not estimated. Use this whenever the user asks how a strategy or indicator would have performed, or for a ticker's Sharpe, CAGR, max drawdo

  List the built-in technical indicators available for backtesting (RSI, moving-average crossovers, ADX, Bollinger, CCI, Stochastic, and more) with their IDs, parameters with defaults, and each indicator's default long rule. Call this to answer what strategies or indicators can be
