Absolutely not. StockSentry is an algorithmic data tool.
Alerts are generated based on mathematical technical indicators, not personalized fiduciary assessment.
All trading involves risk. You are solely responsible for your financial decisions.

Yes, absolutely! The daily discovery scan is a great way to find potential investment ideas to research.
Just keep in mind that StockSentry is an analysis tool, not a broker or a financial advisor.
When you're ready to buy, you'll need to use your own brokerage account to place the trade.

Our automated discovery scans do the heavy lifting for you.
At the end of the trading day, the agent sweeps the S&P 100 to find strong chart setups that aren't on your radar yet.
It then sends these ideas directly to your chat so you can look into them.

No. The agent actively monitors the markets only during standard trading hours.
If a stock makes a big move overnight, the agent will catch it and include the update in your 8:30 AM morning briefing.

Yes, having a dedicated assistant watching your portfolio helps you spot trend changes early so you can manage your risk.
The agent sends you a daily P&L report, so you can easily see if it's adding value.
The Catch: The math only works if you tell the bot the truth. You must log your actual, exact entry prices (using /bought) so the agent knows exactly where your break-even points are to calculate accurate alert levels.

Be accurate: Log the stocks you own and your exact entry prices using the /bought command.
Check the scans: Review the discovery scans for new ideas.
Build a watchlist: See something interesting? Use /watch so the agent starts tracking it every 30 minutes.
Do your homework: When the agent sends an alert that a stock looks ready, do your own research. If you decide to buy, immediately tell the agent via /bought so it can start watching your back.

Yes. The system evaluates its own performance.
Every time the agent sends an alert (whether it suggests looking at a buy, a sell, or a stop-loss level), it records the call in our database.
It then tracks that stock's trend for up to 30 days to see if the alert was accurate, which helps calibrate future analysis.

The agent pulls up to a year of historical price data, calculates 14 different technical indicators, and reads the latest news sentiment.
The AI looks at all these different angles to form a clear verdict.
Finally, it translates complex chart data into a simple, easy-to-read English message for you.
