FAQ

Is this financial advice?

No. StockClaw produces AI-generated summaries and impact scores based on public news. They are for information only, are not a recommendation to buy or sell any security, and are not a substitute for professional advice. See Terms of Service for the formal disclaimers.

Can I see it working before I sign up?

Yes. See a live sample on the home page and the sign-in page opens stockclaw.co/preview. It needs no account and shows, read-only:

  • Market Wire, and the signals of the last 24 hours for a fixed sample watchlist (NVDA, AAPL, MSFT, SPY and TSLA). The newest hour is held back.
  • Items from public-domain sources: SEC filings (with the press release a company files alongside an 8-K) and SEC announcements, Federal Reserve statements, and US government statistics that we fetch straight from the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS), the Bureau of Economic Analysis (BEA) and the Treasury, and releases from US federal agencies: export controls (Commerce BIS), sanctions (OFAC), trade (USTR), presidential actions (White House), the Department of Defense, the FTC, the DOJ Antitrust Division and NHTSA. Economic news from Investing.com is not among them, even when it reports the same figures. The sample also shows Yahoo Finance news, which includes articles from other publishers that Yahoo carries; each item names its source and links to the original article. Other news outlets, press-release wires and posts from Stocktwits or Reddit are not shown there, because their terms don't clearly allow showing them to the public. Signed-in accounts see every source.
  • Our own summary of each item and a link to the original, no images.
  • It looks like the app itself: the same dashboard with the watchlist, the feed and the market column (on a phone, the three panes you swipe between). Anything that needs an account, such as Claw, alerts, settings, adding symbols, charts and sentiment, is shown with a lock and takes you to sign-up. Prices in the sample come only from TradingView widgets (the ticker tape and the Market pane chart) and may be delayed; watchlist rows show no price.

Claw, alerts, settings and your own watchlist need an account. The sample is general information, not investment advice. Visitors from Australia see the same sample with High / Medium / Low instead of numbers, and the page is not available in Hong Kong. The page asks for nothing; like every request, it uses your IP address only to tell which country you are in (see the Privacy Policy). Until the sample feed is switched on, the page shows Market Wire and a note where the signals would be.

Can other users see my watchlist or signals?

No. Every user-owned table (watchlists, signals, user_settings, rag_query_logs, push_subscriptions) is protected by a PostgreSQL row-level security policy that filters rows by your user id. Your FastAPI session runs as the authenticated role, not as a superuser, so RLS is actively enforced at the database layer.

Can I connect my brokerage account?

No — and this is a deliberate product boundary, not a missing feature. StockClaw never collects users' brokerage credentials, positions, or trade history, and no broker-linking flow exists anywhere in the product. The only brokerage data in the system is the operator's own IBKR account, shown on an operator-only page via a read-only report token, invisible to every other account. StockClaw also places no orders — no trading code path exists in the codebase.

Which AI model is used?

The synthesis engine and Claw chat route their LLM calls directly to DeepSeek through its OpenAI-compatible API. The current model slug is listed in our Privacy Policy and updated whenever we swap.

Ticker-to-alias resolution uses Yahoo Finance. Embeddings for retrieval (once the embedding pipeline is live — see RAG for current state) will use the open-source sentence-transformers/paraphrase-multilingual-MiniLM-L12-v2.

Why five agents and not one?

See How it works → Agents. The short version: a single-prompt "is this important" call drifts quickly; splitting concern across five lanes (ticker facts, macro, sector, sentiment, regulation) keeps each output tight, enables Reflexion critique, and gives the UI a meaningful per-agent breakdown to show.

How often does the pipeline run?

Celery Beat schedules a crawl every 20 minutes. Adding a ticker to your watchlist also fires an on-demand crawl so you don't have to wait for the next cycle. Individual users can trigger only their own crawl; global crawls run once globally per cycle and fan out per-user synthesis from the shared raw-item set.

Can I use StockClaw on iOS?

Yes — the dashboard works on iOS Safari out of the box. For notifications you need to Add to Home Screen (turning StockClaw into a PWA); iOS 16.4 and later supports Web Push for installed PWAs. See Phone & browser notifications → iOS PWA install.

An Android app is in testing on Google Play. It is the same web app in a Trusted Web Activity, so it follows the phone's light/dark theme and supports notifications. An iOS app is not planned yet.

Can I export my data?

A JSON export endpoint is planned (Settings → Account → Export my data). For now, you can pull /api/v1/signals, /api/v1/watchlists, /api/v1/settings, and /api/v1/claw/rules directly with your session token.

Can I delete my account?

Yes. Until the in-app delete flow ships, email the support address on the Privacy Policy page and we complete deletion within 30 days. All your watchlists, signals, rules, chat history, and push subscriptions are purged; aggregate, non-identifiable metrics may persist.

How much does this cost?

Free during early access, and there is nothing to pay for yet. Since October 2026 the free version has these limits:

  • 5 tickers on your watchlist. If you had more before, they all stay on your list, but only the 5 you added first are matched to news and send alerts. Remove some to add new ones.
  • Phone and browser alerts for FLASH and ALERT only. NOTE and FYI signals still appear in your feed.
  • Alerts at most every 30 minutes, with no choice of frequency and no quiet hours.
  • No Telegram delivery and no daily email digest. A Telegram link or digest opt-in you set up before is kept, but nothing is sent to it.
  • 5 Claw questions a day. The count starts again at midnight UTC. A question that fails with an error does not count.
  • The last 7 days of signals in the feed and in Claw. Older signals are not deleted: they are kept as before and are included when you download your data.

Market Wire alerts for big market-wide events still reach you as phone and browser notifications if FLASH is on. Paid plans with higher limits may come later; they will not be offered in Australia (Terms). When they are introduced, pricing is shown at the point of purchase and added to the Terms. DeepSeek token cost is ours, not yours.

I'm a developer — can I call the API directly?

The backend exposes an OpenAPI schema at /docs when you run locally. Current endpoints are HTTP+JSON with a Bearer token (Supabase-issued JWT). A formal public API with stable endpoints and rate limits is planned for a later phase; for now it's "works on my machine" stable, not "breakage will be announced" stable.

Something's wrong — who do I contact?
