How articles are written and checked
PreTrAIde uses AI assistance to write articles. An automated quality review checks them against editorial rules: no stock picks, no price predictions, no guaranteed returns and sources for factual claims. Worked examples should be clearly identified as hypothetical.
An automated check has limits. It is not a guarantee that every statement, calculation or source is correct or that an article remains current as market conditions and data change. Readers should check material facts and calculations before relying on them.
What the content covers
PreTrAIde explains pre-trade analysis: assessing a proposed stock trade or basket before placing an order. Topics include estimated trading costs, liquidity, volatility, portfolio concentration and execution conditions. The aim is to help readers understand the inputs and limitations of an analysis—not to tell them which security to trade.
Articles may discuss established financial models and present worked calculations. A hypothetical example uses illustrative numbers, not a real fill, a forecast or a result a reader should expect. Where a calculation depends on assumptions—such as an estimated spread or market impact—those assumptions matter to the result.
Glossary and tool pages are intended to make financial terms and calculations understandable. For example, a basket’s Herfindahl-Hirschman concentration index is the sum of its position weights squared: HHI = Σwᵢ², where each wᵢ is a decimal share of the basket and the weights sum to 1. A hypothetical basket with weights of 0.50, 0.30 and 0.20 has an HHI of 0.25 + 0.09 + 0.04 = 0.38. A higher value indicates greater concentration under that measure; it does not, by itself, describe every source of portfolio risk.
PreTrAIde also provides free calculators and trading-cost-by-stock pages. Their estimates are analytical inputs, not promises of an executable price or a complete account of all costs a broker may charge.
How product analysis differs from editorial content
An article explains a concept. A PreTrAIde PreTrade analysis assesses a basket a user builds, with a buy or sell side, quantity and execution conditions for each stock. It returns a GO, NO-GO or MODIFY verdict for the basket and each line, alongside a model-estimated success probability, risk assessment, suggested execution strategy and plain-language reasoning.
Those verdicts are decision support, not recommendations. The success probability is a model estimate between 5% and 95%; it is not a guarantee or a forecast of returns. PreTrAIde is analysis software, not a broker, investment adviser or portfolio manager. It does not receive, transmit or execute orders. Users make their own trading decisions and place any orders with their own broker.
Sources, limitations and corrections
Factual claims in articles should have sources. A source supports a specific claim; it does not make every interpretation drawn from that claim certain. Market data, estimates and financial terminology can also differ by provider or method, so readers should pay attention to definitions, units, dates and assumptions when comparing figures.
If you find a factual error, unclear calculation or missing context, report it through the contact page. Include the page address, the passage in question and, if possible, a source or calculation showing the issue. Corrections can then be made to the content.
Educational information, not personal advice
PreTrAIde content does not account for a reader’s finances, objectives, tax situation or tolerance for risk. No article, calculator output or example should be read as an instruction to buy or sell a security. Editorial explanations and pre-trade analysis are tools for understanding a decision; the decision itself remains the reader’s.
