We utilize third-party AI tools, including ChatGPT, to power certain features within our products.

These products and features include:

  • AI Stock Ratings: ChatGPT is used to generate stock analysis, technical analysis, financial analysis, and sentiment analysis, and summaries of financial data and news to provide an AI-based stock rating and to display AI-generated data.

  • AI Stock Screener: ChatGPT is employed to create and generate custom stock screeners based on user prompts.

  • AI Financial Analysis: ChatGPT generates financial analyses and sentiment analyses by summarizing historical financial reports, such as balance sheets, income statements, and cash flow statements.

  • AI News Insights: ChatGPT summarizes financial news articles and generates sentiment analysis and provides key insights presented in a bullet point format.

AI Trade Signals Disclaimer

Our (Stocksift LLC) AI Trade Signals are based on algorithms and a trading strategy that We developed at Stocksift by using historical security data to backtest Our strategy. Our AI Trade Signals do not guarantee specific outcomes or profits and should not be considered personalized investment advice. Users should do their own research and analysis before executing any trades.

Our AI Trade Signals are not guaranteed to be 100% accurate or error-free. Users are advised to cross-verify results and use the AI's outputs as supplementary information and for educational purposes only, rather than the sole basis for critical decisions. Expressly note that our AI Trade Signals are not recommendations to buy or sell a stock.

The display of performance results for our AI Trade Signals is based on simulated or hypothetical scenarios. These results are based on simulated or hypothetical performance results that have certain inherent limitations. Unlike the results shown in an actual performance record, these results do not represent actual trading. Also, because these trades have not actually been executed, these results may have under-or over-compensated for the impact, if any, of certain market factors, such as lack of liquidity or slippage. Simulated or hypothetical trading programs in general are also subject to the fact that they are designed with the benefit of hindsight. No representation is being made that any account will or is likely to achieve profits or losses similar to those shown on Our Site.

Disclaimer for AI Trade Signals Hypothetical Performance Simulations

Our AI Trade Signals may generate daily trade setups. We track these trade setups over time and use the historical data to simulate hypothetical performance. These simulations aim to calculate potential outcomes based on the trade setups generated by our AI.

Methodology and Assumptions

  1. Slippage and Liquidity: Our calculations do not account for slippage, lack of liquidity, or other real-world market conditions that may affect trade execution.

  2. Stop Loss and Take Profit: Each trade setup includes a preset stop loss and take profit level. These levels are used to determine whether a trade results in a profit or a loss.

  3. No Margin Trading: Margin trading is not factored into the simulations.

  4. Position Sizing: The simulation assumes that the entire account balance is invested in one trade setup at a time.

Simulation Process

  • Worst-Case Scenario: The simulation selects a series of the poorest-performing trade setups from the historical data. Starting with the initial account balance, it invests fully in one trade at a time. After exiting each trade (based on its stop loss or take profit level), the entire account balance—adjusted for any losses—is reinvested into the next losing trade. This process repeats until the simulation reaches the most recent trade setups generated by our AI.

  • Best-Case Scenario: Similarly, the simulation selects only the best-performing trade setups from the historical data. The entire account balance is fully invested in each trade, with profits reinvested after each winning trade, following the same process.

  • Average-Case Scenario: To calculate the average-case performance, we take the midpoint between the best-case and worst-case results. This average is the primary performance metric displayed on our site.

Transparency and Disclosure

In addition to displaying average-case performance results, we may also provide worst-case and best-case performance results for transparency. These simulations are hypothetical and should not be interpreted as guarantees of future performance.
