The problem it solves

Keeping up with market scans, chart patterns, and news sentiment for every stock you're watching is more than one person can do consistently. Making a disciplined, rules-based trading decision every day is hard when you're also running everything else in your business.

Who it fits

An individual investor or analyst who wants a consistent, rules-based approach to stock analysis and paper trading.

How it works

  1. Each day, the system scans the market using an AI stock scoring service
  2. It pulls technical indicators, chart patterns, and recent news sentiment for top candidates
  3. An AI model reviews the combined data and chart images to form a trade recommendation
  4. Trades are placed through Alpaca's paper trading account with built-in risk limits
  5. You receive a detailed report of the day's analysis and trades by email
What you get

Trades analyzed while you sleep

Each day you get a detailed report of AI-driven stock analysis and the paper trades placed on your behalf, sent to your inbox.

What you get

A daily trade report and a log of paper trades executed based on AI market analysis.

What you need

Accounts with Alpaca, a market data provider, and an AI model provider such as OpenAI.

We can build this. But should you?

The hard question is not how to build it. It is whether this is the right thing to build first.

That is what a Fractional Chief AI Officer figures out with you, before anyone writes a line of code.
