Foretale Intro

Foretale is a web platform for creating and deploying event-driven quantitative finance apps. Foretale enables users to create almost any type of finance app they can imagine, with no coding required!

Foretale Principles

On Foretale, finance apps are created using Foretale’s FlowStudio . Instead of coding, users create their apps using the FlowStudio’s drag, drop, and connect workspace. Finance apps are known as flows on Foretale.

Flows

Flows are what users create or edit on Foretale. Think of a flow as an app. Flows can be as simple or as complicated as desired. Each flow is created by chaining together a sequence of two or more nodes.

Nodes

Nodes can be thought of as individual compute boxes that provides a specific functionality. individually nodes are pretty useless but by chaining them together in unique ways, users have the ability to create varied bespoke financial flows. Foretale populates the FlowStudio with many nodes, each providing a different functionality. Users edit each node to configure them to do exactly what they want.

Running and Deploying Flows

Nodes are activated whenever a message passes through the flow they are a part of. Foretale provides Foretale Cloud to keep flows running around the clock, once they have been deployed on the FlowStudio .
