Example prompt: What does the AI Hedge Fund research model predict for MES right now — give me the confidence score and expected return percentage.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need a quick, AI-generated directional forecast with a confidence score for a specific financial instrument — particularly futures symbols like MES. It is read-only and carries no execution risk, making it safe for research and signal-enrichment workflows. Prefer it over broker APIs or execution platforms when the goal is purely informational price prediction rather than order placement.

## Known failure modes

- Missing or invalid symbol parameter returns an error or empty response
- Fallback source status indicates primary model data is unavailable, reducing forecast reliability
- Low confidence scores (e.g. 55) suggest high model uncertainty and should be interpreted cautiously
- Payment failure (x402 protocol) results in 402 response before any forecast data is returned
- Rate limiting or service downtime may return 5xx errors with no forecast data

## How this service works

Read-only x402 research APIs. No trading, broker, or execution is exposed.

Returns a JSON object containing the requested symbol (e.g. 'MES'), an integer confidence score (0–100), a sourceStatus field indicating whether data came from the primary model or a fallback, and an expectedReturnPct representing the AI model's estimated directional return as a percentage.
