The API behind the “Backtest this idea” widget on /events/builder. Read-only: no card is created, no ledger or on-chain write happens, no money moves. Runs the same engine as the saved-card backtest, so an idea and a published card holding the same basket return identical numbers.

Give it a plain-language theme and the Tuatara semantic model selects real trading vehicles (stocks, ETFs, crypto) and weights them by relevance. The basket gets an MM-… symbol and a /macromarket page.

Request Body

curl -X POST https://cymetica.com/api/v1/macromarket/build \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $EVENTTRADER_API_KEY" \
  -d '{"theme": "AI infrastructure", "num_assets": 8, "weighting": "tuatara"}'

aib = await client.macromarket.build("AI infrastructure", num_assets=8)
print(aib["symbol"])   # e.g. "MM-AIINFRA"

const aib = await client.macromarket.build({
  theme: "AI infrastructure",
  numAssets: 8,
});

et_aib_build(theme="AI infrastructure", num_assets=8, weighting="tuatara")

Pass aib_symbol for an existing basket, or theme to build and persist one first. Quota-gated: an over-quota caller gets 402 before any expensive work runs. Results are simulated, not investment advice.

Request Body

curl -X POST https://cymetica.com/api/v1/macromarket/backtest \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $EVENTTRADER_API_KEY" \
  -d '{"aib_symbol": "MM-AIINFRA", "period_days": 365}'

bt = await client.macromarket.backtest(aib_symbol="MM-AIINFRA", period_days=365)

# Or skip the build entirely and backtest a theme directly:
bt = await client.macromarket.backtest(theme="uranium miners")

const bt = await client.macromarket.backtest({
  aibSymbol: "MM-AIINFRA",
  periodDays: 365,
});

et_aib_backtest(aib_symbol="MM-AIINFRA", period_days=365)
et_aib_backtest(theme="uranium miners")

The headline-basket research engine behind /backtest-rally. Races strategies against BTC and can launch the winner as a Rally Card. Signal/backtest only — no orders are placed. Full reference: /backtest-rally/api.
