Common Questions Answered

Get immediate clarity on how MarketQuants works.

Does MarketQuants tell me what to buy?

No. MarketQuants is a data analysis tool, not a financial advisor. We provide you with objective stock rankings based on our Composite Score methodology. What you do with that information is entirely your choice. We empower you with clarity, not buy/sell signals.

Is this safe for beginners?

Absolutely! MarketQuants was designed with beginners in mind. No finance degree required. Our visual interface and simple scoring system make it easy to understand which stocks are showing strength — even if you've never analyzed a stock before.

How often is the data updated?

Stock rankings and Composite Scores are updated daily before market open. Your portfolio data syncs in real-time when connected to Alpaca.

What makes the Composite Score different?

Unlike single indicators, our Composite Score combines multiple momentum and fundamental factors into one normalized metric. We look at price trends, relative strength, volume patterns, and sector performance — then distill it into a simple 0-100 score you can understand instantly.

Is there a free plan?

Yes! Our Free plan gives you access to the top 9 suggested stocks, 9 portfolio positions, and paper trading — forever, at no cost. When you're ready for more, upgrade to Premium for just $9/month.

Do I need a brokerage account?

Not required! You can use MarketQuants purely as a research tool. However, if you want to trade directly from the app, you can connect your Alpaca brokerage account for seamless execution.

Is MarketQuants mobile-friendly?

Yes! MarketQuants is built mobile-first with our "one-thumb interface." Install it as a progressive web app (PWA) on your phone and access your portfolio anywhere, anytime.
