How StonksAI Works
StonksAI turns a week of market noise into a short, reasoned trading plan you control. You set the risk posture, pick the symbols, and approve or decline each proposal the AI puts in front of you.
Set your risk posture for the week
Choose a risk mode of Conservative, Normal or Aggressive, and a trading style of Swing or Scalping. Everything downstream is generated against those settings.
Your choices apply to the current U.S. market week only and never overwrite your saved defaults. Change a setting and the candidate list regenerates immediately, so you can see what a more or less aggressive week would actually look like before committing to it. Scalping is available in Aggressive mode.
Build your weekly selection
StonksAI opens the week with a curated candidate list. You add the symbols you want to trade, and you can search for any others yourself.
Every candidate carries four scores: Fundamental Quality (earnings and cash health), Technical Momentum (trend strength), Derivative Volatility Edge (the options picture) and Sentiment and Macro Analysis (directional bias). Upcoming events such as earnings, FDA decisions, Fed rate decisions and dividend dates are tagged on the card, and anything you already hold is flagged.
Review the proposals and decide
For each symbol you selected, StonksAI generates up to three trade proposals: an equity trade, a near-term option and a longer-dated option. You approve or decline each one.
A proposal is a complete trade, not a tip. It carries the entry price, stop loss, target, reward-to-risk ratio, maximum loss per share and a confidence indicator, with a plain-language rationale explaining why the setup was put forward. Declining costs nothing, and a symbol you decline simply drops out of the week.
Work your finalized Tactical Plan
Approved proposals collect into your Tactical Plan for the week: a short, fixed list with defined entries and exits that you can remove items from at any time.
From the finalized plan you can hand a trade to your broker with one tap. StonksAI passes the trade details across and your broker opens its own order ticket, where you confirm the details and submit. StonksAI never places, reviews or submits an order for you, and never asks for your broker password.
The four scores on every candidate
StonksAI does not rank a stock on one indicator. Four scores are calculated independently and shown together on the candidate card, so you can see where a name is strong, where it is weak, and decide whether the combination is worth your capital.
- Fundamental Quality Score
- Reads the health of the underlying business: earnings, cash position and the balance-sheet picture. It is the check on whether a technically attractive chart belongs to a company worth trading.
- Technical Momentum Score
- Measures trend strength in the price action itself, so a setup that looks interesting on one timeframe has to hold up as a trend rather than a single day of noise.
- Derivative Volatility Edge Score
- Reads the options market: where volatility is priced, and whether the derivative picture supports the trade. This is what separates a reasonable options proposal from an expensive one.
- Sentiment and Macro Analysis Score
- Sets the directional bias from news sentiment and the macro calendar, including Fed rate decisions and inflation prints, so a long idea into a hostile macro week is scored accordingly.
Events flagged on the card
Scores describe the setup. Events describe what is about to happen to it. Anything scheduled in the week ahead is tagged on the candidate, with the date, so a position is never opened into a catalyst you had not accounted for:
- Upcoming earnings
- FDA decisions
- Fed rate decisions
- Dividend payouts
- Stock splits and reverse splits
- Investor conferences
How risk is controlled
Most retail accounts are not lost on bad ideas; they are lost on good ideas sized wrongly and held too long. Risk settings are part of building a plan in StonksAI, not an optional extra you can skip.
- A risk mode you set for the week
- Conservative, Normal or Aggressive. The setting shapes the candidates and the proposals before you see them, and it applies to the current market week without overwriting your saved defaults.
- A stop on every proposal
- Each proposal states its stop loss and its maximum loss per share up front, alongside the entry and target. There is no proposal without a defined exit.
- Sizing that scales with the account
- Position sizing works from your account balance rather than a fixed share count, so the same risk settings stay proportionate whether you are trading $2,000 or $200,000.
- A fixed weekly universe
- You choose your symbols at the start of the week and the plan works from that list. Deciding in advance is what keeps a mid-week headline from turning into an unplanned position.
Where StonksAI stops
StonksAI plans trades; you place them. The one-tap handoff opens your broker's own order ticket with the trade details filled in, and you confirm and submit it there. StonksAI does not place, review or submit orders, does not link to your brokerage account, does not hold your money and never asks for your broker password.
