🧠 How the AI Works
Companion-Based Responses
Your AI adapts to your chosen companion:
Example: "Should I buy TSLA?"
Money Monty (Generalist):
"TSLA looks solid from multiple angles. Technical strength with volume; fundamentals improving. Entry $465–470, target $490 in ~10 days. Risk: stretched valuation; size 2–3%."
Maverick (Momentum Trader):
"TSLA breaking out with volume. Entry $465–470, target $490 in 7–10 days. Good swing setup."
Sage (Long‑Term):
"TSLA Fundamental B-. Quality company, stretched valuation (P/E ~75). For long‑term: Wait for pullback to $400–420 or DCA."
Blitz (Day Trader, advanced):
"TSLA near $470. Break with volume → $478 intraday. Consider short‑dated calls; stop at $458."
Same question, companion‑specific answers—matching your style and timeframe.
What AI Analyzes
When you ask about a stock, AI looks at:
Price action - Current and historical
Technical indicators - RSI, MACD, moving averages
Fundamentals - Earnings, P/E, growth
News - Recent headlines and catalysts
Sentiment - Analyst ratings, social chatter
Market context - Overall market conditions
Then gives you a personalized answer.
💡 Pro Tips for Better Responses
1. Be Specific
❌ Vague: "Tell me about TSLA"
✅ Specific: "Is TSLA a good swing trade entry at $465?"
2. Include Your Timeframe
❌ "Should I buy AAPL?"
✅ "Should I buy AAPL for a 2-week swing trade?"
3. Mention Your Risk Tolerance
"Find me low-risk dividend stocks" "Show me high-risk options plays"
4. Ask Follow-Up Questions
First: "Analyze NVDA" Follow-up: "What's the downside risk?" Follow-up: "When should I exit?"
5. Use Context from Previous Messages
AI remembers your conversation: "What about compared to AMD?" "Should I wait for a pullback?"

⚠️ What AI Can't Do
AI is NOT:
❌ A magic crystal ball (can't predict the future)
❌ 100% accurate (markets are unpredictable)
❌ Financial advice (you make final decisions)
❌ A replacement for your own research
AI CAN:
✅ Analyze data quickly
✅ Provide informed perspectives
✅ Find opportunities you might miss
✅ Explain complex concepts
✅ Help with strategy decisions
Always do your own due diligence!
