FAQ

Questions people actually ask

Including the awkward ones. If yours is not here, ask us.

What it is

Will Stockhub tell me what to buy or sell?

Stockhub is not a SEBI-registered Investment Adviser. It reads a market and shows you what it found along with how well evidenced that finding is — and most findings are poorly evidenced, which it says plainly. It places no orders: any trade is yours to place with your own broker.

Are you SEBI registered?

No. Stockhub is not a SEBI-registered Investment Adviser.

Is investing with Stockhub’s advice safe?

No investment is. Investments in securities markets are subject to market risks. Read all the related documents carefully before investing. A recommendation can be wrong, prices can fall, and you can lose some or all of the money you put in. Stockhub promises no return.

Is this a signal service or a tips group?

No. There is no channel, no calls, no targets delivered to you. The product publishes reads inside the application with their measured records attached, and a read whose record is poor is shown as poor.

Does it trade for me?

No. There is no order placement anywhere in it. The options paper book exists so you can test an idea against the real cost model without risking money; it is clearly marked as simulated and cannot touch a live account.

The evidence

You publish results showing your own rules lost money. Why?

Because that is what the measurement found, and a measurement you only publish when it is flattering is marketing, not measurement. Our opening-range breakout came out 0.96% per trade below random entries after costs. Knowing that is more useful than a win rate would have been, and it is why the product refuses to act on it.

The full results and the method.

What does “measured against random entries” mean?

The same stop, target, time limit and charges, applied to trades entered at the open of random sessions instead of at the rule’s signal. If the rule cannot beat that, the win rate was coming from the brackets and the market’s drift, not from the rule.

What does “unmeasured” mean on a number?

That it is a hand-set threshold which has never been replayed, or has fewer than eight finished trades behind it. It is labelled because this is precisely the state people assume has been tested.

Why are option strategies less evidenced than stock ones?

Historical data for expired option contracts is not available from our data provider. So an option strategy can only be tested on chains we have captured live since starting, or modelled from a pricing formula — and modelled results are labelled as modelled, never as measured.

Data and the broker

Where does the market data come from?

Our data provider, fetched into our own store on a schedule. Your use of the product never makes a live broker call, which is why pages are fast and why a refresh cannot interfere with the data pipeline.

Do you see my broker credentials?

You complete your broker’s own login; we never see your broker password. The access token that results is stored encrypted at rest with authenticated encryption, and is never sent back to a browser.

Practical

Which exchanges and instruments?

NSE cash equities and indices, and NSE index and stock options and futures for the configured underlyings. No BSE, no currency, no commodities, no international markets.

How much history do I get?

Several years of daily bars for every stock eligible to trade, and intraday minute bars over a shorter window. The first fetch is paced by the broker’s three-requests-a-second limit, so filling the market takes a while once and the nightly top-up is quick.

Is there a mobile app?

There is a phone client in development. The web application works on a phone today.

Can I get my data out?

Yes. Your account details and your options paper book are yours — ask and we will export them. Market data itself is governed by the exchange’s and our data provider’s terms rather than ours.

Does it handle market holidays?

Yes, seeded from the exchange’s own published list. There is also a check that reports any weekday on which nothing traded but which was not recorded as a holiday — because a missing holiday is otherwise invisible.
