Confidence Scores Explained

Each recommendation includes a confidence score from 0.0 to 1.0:

  • 90-100%: Extremely high confidence - strong buy/sell signal with multiple supporting factors

  • 60-74%: Moderate confidence - reasonable opportunity but with some risk
  • Below 60%: Lower confidence - use caution and additional research

Multi-AI Consensus

  • Grok AI: Our primary model trained on vast financial data
  • GPT-4: Advanced language model for sentiment and news analysis
  • Custom Models: Proprietary algorithms for technical analysis

Each recommendation includes:

  • Action: BUY, SELL, or HOLD
  • Symbol: Stock ticker (e.g., AAPL, TSLA)
  • Current Price: Latest market price
  • Target Price: Expected price in 6 months
  • Potential Gain: Expected % return
