Straight answers

No. SignalProphet is a research tool and market analyst, not an investment adviser or broker-dealer. Nothing it produces is a recommendation to buy or sell any security, and using it creates no advisory relationship. You’re responsible for your own decisions — do your own research and consider a licensed professional. See the Terms for the full statement.

No — paper only. It places simulated orders against a paper (test) brokerage account and cannot move real funds. The broker connection is paper-only by a hard guard that’s re-checked every time it’s built; a non-paper setup is refused, not silently allowed. No real orders, ever.

We make no promises— no guaranteed returns, no “beat the market.” Markets carry risk and past performance never guarantees future results. Instead of a claim, we point you at the public track record: the real, ongoing evidence, gated so it can only claim an edge once that edge is statistically real.

Bring your own. You connect your own Alpaca paper account for simulated trading, and you can bring your own model/provider keys. Your keys are encrypted at rest and isolated to your account — nothing is locked to a single vendor. See Connect a broker for the details.

With the significance gate. A verdict of “edge” is only published once the sample is large enough — and consistent enough — to be statistically meaningful; below that the record honestly says “still building,” and it never annualizes a lucky streak. The full mechanics are on the significance gate page.

No. Every call and its outcome — including the misses — feed the same public scorecard. The record is meant to be the proof, which only works if it counts the bad calls too.

It means the analyst looked and didn’t find a setup worth acting on — a flat or choppy market. It’s shown in amber on purpose: a candid “sit this one out” is more useful than a manufactured signal. More on why in the philosophy.

Keys are encrypted with authenticated encryption before they’re stored, kept separate per user, and never echoed back to the browser or written to logs after you save them. They’re validated when you connect so you get a clear error rather than a half-wired connection.
