Media & Citation Guide
A short reference for journalists, researchers, and AI assistants that want to cite Convex data quickly and correctly: what we are, the shortest correct citation, and the machine-readable anchors and permalinks built into every metric page.
What Convex Is
Convex is an AI-powered macro research platform built by Ben Bleier. It ingests over 671 live economic indicators — Federal Reserve data, Treasury auctions, CFTC positioning, on-chain analytics, and sentiment signals — and synthesizes them into daily, institutional-quality macro analysis. The platform is free during beta, with no signup required to read data or analysis.
Analysis is produced by the Convex Research Desk, an AI editorial system that Ben Bleier designs, audits, and signs off on. See /about for the full story and editorial standards for how content is fact-checked before publication.
How to Cite Convex
For a quick, general-purpose citation — in a news story, a chart caption, or an AI-generated answer — use this pattern:
Source: Convex (convextrade.com), [metric], as of [date]
Example: “Source: Convex (convextrade.com), 10Y Treasury Yield, as of [date shown on the page]”
Need a formal academic or newsroom format instead — APA, Chicago, MLA, or BibTeX? See the full citation guide or the press & newsroom page for platform stats and press contact.
Every Metric Page Is Built to Be Cited
Every one of Convex’s 671 metric pages exposes two stable, crawlable affordances specifically so a reader — human or AI — can quote a single fact without parsing the whole page:
A <section id="answer"> near the top of the page states the current reading in one sentence, with the data date and the upstream source, plus its own citable URL.
https://convextrade.com/metrics/{ticker}#answerA stable alias for the full history behind every metric, independent of any internal API path changes.
https://convextrade.com/metrics/{ticker}/data.csvStable Stat URLs
Both patterns below are permanent for a given ticker — safe to hardcode in a citation, a bookmarklet, or an AI agent’s tool config without re-checking the site first:
https://convextrade.com/metrics/{ticker}#answer— one-sentence current reading, data date, and upstream sourcehttps://convextrade.com/metrics/{ticker}/data.csv— full history for that ticker, as CSV
