What if your portfolio had a dedicated analyst watching the market every single hour — reading prices, scanning headlines, and aligning every move with your personal goals? PilotAlpha puts advanced AI to work on your investments. Powered by Claude, the AI model by Anthropic, PilotAlpha analyses live stock prices, financial news, and macroeconomic indicators during every Xetra trading session. It then decides what to buy, sell, or hold — and explains exactly why. You set the strategy. The AI executes it. HOW IT WORKS 1. Define your goal — investment capital, target return, timeline, and risk profile. 2. PilotAlpha’s AI reviews your portfolio every hour during market hours. 3. For each cycle, the AI evaluates macro trends, sector rotation, cross-market correlations, and your progress toward your goal. 4. You receive a detailed report with the AI’s reasoning and decisions — full transparency, no black box. INTELLIGENT DECISION-MAKING PilotAlpha doesn’t guess. Every hour, the AI follows a structured process: • Macro Narrative — identifies the dominant market theme driving prices right now • Sector Rotation — spots which industries are gaining or losing momentum • Correlation Analysis — reads signals across oil, currencies, volatility, and global indices • Goal Calibration — adjusts aggression based on how much return you still need by your target date Every decision comes with a written rationale. You always know why a trade was made. KEY FEATURES • Hourly AI analysis during Xetra trading hours • Live market data — DAX, S&P 500, EuroStoxx 50, EUR/USD, VIX • Real-time financial news headlines integrated into every decision • Detailed email report after every trading cycle • Push notifications when new decisions are made • Emergency stop — instantly liquidate all positions with one tap • Face ID protection for your account • Full audit trail — review every past cycle, every decision, every rationale • Dark, premium interface designed for clarity YOUR GOALS, YOUR RULES Tell PilotAlpha how much you want to invest, what return you’re targeting, and when you want to reach it. Choose your risk profile — from conservative to aggressive. The AI adapts its strategy accordingly, recalibrating every hour to keep you on track. BUILT FOR TRANSPARENCY Every AI decision is logged with a complete snapshot: what the AI saw (prices, headlines, portfolio state), what it decided, and why. Nothing is hidden. You can review the full history at any time. VIRTUAL PORTFOLIO MODE PilotAlpha currently operates in virtual portfolio mode. The AI makes real analytical decisions using live market data, but no actual orders are placed. This lets you evaluate the AI’s judgment and build confidence before connecting a live brokerage account in a future update. SECURITY • Face ID / biometric authentication • Encrypted token storage in the iOS Keychain • Emergency stop available at all times • No access to your bank accounts in virtual mode IMPORTANT INFORMATION PilotAlpha is an AI-assisted tool for portfolio analysis and decision support. It does not guarantee returns. All investments carry risk, including the potential loss of your entire capital. Past AI decisions do not predict future performance. You are solely responsible for any investment decisions you act upon. PilotAlpha does not provide personalised financial advice within the meaning of German securities regulation (WpHG).
