Frequently Asked Questions

We use a 3-stage process. (1) Universe Screening: we narrow thousands of U.S. stocks down to a qualified candidate universe. (2) Proprietary Quantitative Analysis: our AI analyzes the qualified universe using proprietary quantitative factors, no fundamentals at this stage. (3) AI Fundamental Analysis with Human Editorial Review: a separate AI fundamental layer reads earnings, filings, recent communications, competitive position, balance sheet, and sector context for each Stage 2 candidate. A human reviewer then decides whether to release, hold, or kill the alert before it ships.

AI handles two of the three stages. Stage 2 is proprietary quantitative analysis: our AI analyzes the qualified universe using quantitative factors only, no fundamentals. Stage 3 is AI fundamental analysis: a separate AI layer reads financials, management, competitive position, recent communications, and macro context for each candidate. A human reviewer signs off on Stage 3's output before the alert ships, with full authority to release, hold, or kill the pick. AI does the analytical work; the human sets the editorial bar.

Opportunity-focused. Our AI identifies stocks showing quantitative signs of favorable setups, not by chasing what's already moved, but by identifying candidates our model flags as attractive entry opportunities. Fundamental analysis is then applied by our Stage 3 AI fundamental layer, with human editorial review, before any alert is finalized.

Our AI analyzes a qualified subset of thousands of U.S. publicly traded companies. The universe screening (Stage 1) filters for robust trading liquidity and an accessible share-price range before AI analysis begins.

DCA stands for dollar-cost averaging. If a stock we've alerted drops after our initial entry and our model fires a fresh buy at the lower price, our strategy may issue up to three additional Buy Alerts on the same position, building the full position across up to four tiered entries at progressively better prices. You may see the same ticker appear on back-to-back Saturdays or more than once within the same month. That's the strategy doing what most investors struggle to: buying more of what we already believe in, at a better price. Follow-on entries are always flagged as DCA in the alert email and in our track record. DCA add-on alerts are complimentary; they do not count against your tier's monthly Buy Alert allotment.

Yes. Cancellation is self-service: log in to your account, open Manage Subscription, and click Cancel. The cancellation processes immediately. No email, no phone call, no retention rep, no reason required. You keep full access to all alerts and content through the end of the period you've already paid for, and the next renewal is not charged. All subscription payments are non-refundable; no partial refunds are issued for unused time.

No. SaturdaySignal works with any brokerage. You execute your own trades using whatever broker you already use: Robinhood, Fidelity, Schwab, E*TRADE, Interactive Brokers, or any other. We provide stock symbols and entry prices; you make the final decision and place the orders in your own account.

SaturdaySignal alerts are clear and actionable: each includes a specific stock symbol, entry price, and investment thesis. The Saturday delivery gives you the entire weekend to research and learn at your own pace before making any decisions. That said, all investing involves risk of loss. We encourage you to start small or even just "paper trade" if you wish, do your own research, and consult a qualified financial advisor if you need personalized advice. We recommend starting with Basic while you learn; you can upgrade to Premium or Executive later.

Choose Basic, Premium, or Executive on our pricing page, complete checkout, and you'll receive your first Buy Alert the following Saturday. Check our track record to see all historical alerts before subscribing.

Yes. After your Stripe subscription is confirmed, you will receive a one-click email verification link. Once you click to verify, you're on the subscriber list and the next Saturday Buy Alert will arrive in your inbox. We verify every subscriber email before the first alert is delivered. Our subscriber list is a bona fide, general-circulation publication list in the sense of Section 202(a)(11) of the Investment Advisers Act, consistent with the publisher's exemption under Lowe v. SEC, 472 U.S. 181 (1985). If your verification email doesn't arrive within a few minutes, check spam or promotions, or email support@saturdaysignal.com for manual confirmation.

There is no minimum capital requirement to subscribe. The strategy assumes you can take a meaningful position size in each alert and hold for the model's full hold period (averaging 333 days, with some trades held to the 5-year hard stop). As a practical guideline, an account size that lets you allocate a few thousand dollars per alert across 10–20 concurrent positions tends to produce results closer to what the published track record shows. With smaller capital, you'll still benefit from the alert selection but your position-sizing flexibility will be more limited. SaturdaySignal does not provide personalized investment advice; only you can determine what allocation is appropriate for your financial situation.

About 15 minutes per Saturday morning to read the new Buy Alert email, plus a few minutes during the trading week to enter or exit positions through your own brokerage. SaturdaySignal does not require active monitoring. There are no intraday alerts, no day-trading mechanics, no time-of-day urgency. Trades are entered at your convenience after Saturday's alert arrives, held for the model's hold period (averaging 333 days), and exited when a Sell Alert is published or the 5-year maximum holding period is reached. This is by design. The strategy is built for working professionals and investors who want a disciplined, weekly-cadence approach without daily screen time.
