Fair questions.

What am I actually paying for?
You are paying to skip the grind. Every night the system reads 12,000+ US names, experienced traders keep what is worth your attention, and you get a full desk: the ranked shortlist, deep name pages, options flow, the big funds, sectors, themes, position tools and alerts.
Do I need a card to start?
Yes. You add a card to start your 7 free days, and nothing is charged today. Cancel before day 7 and you pay nothing.
What happens after the 7 free days?
Your card is charged $29 and the app stays open, month to month. Cancel before day 7 from your billing page and you pay nothing. If you pay and then change your mind, the 30-day money-back guarantee covers you.
How do I know it works?
You should not take my word for it. Every setup is backtested over years of real markets before it is allowed to flag a name. Even then, nobody bats a thousand: some flagged names go nowhere, and we would rather you know that upfront. Judge it on what you see during the free week, then size every trade for your own risk.
Who is behind this?
Daniel. In the markets since 2014, first as a trader, then as a writer. The Philosopher Investor started as a weekly newsletter on Substack, and the app grew out of the scans that fed it. Reply to any email and I read it.
Is it just an algorithm, or does a human decide?
Both, doing the part each is good at. The machine scans the whole market every session, then experienced traders throw out the noise and decide what is worth your attention.
How do I change or cancel my subscription?
Where you joined: on Substack if you subscribed there, or on your billing page if you joined on the app. Update your card or cancel any time, in one click.
I just subscribed on Substack. How do I get in?
Sign in with the same email you used on Substack. We send a one-time link, no password to remember. If the door is still shut, message me and I will switch your access on by hand.
