Frequently asked questions

Plain answers about what AlphaWeg is, where its limits are, and who stays in control. If a question here touches your money, your broker, or your orders, read the answer carefully — the short version is always the same: you decide, you approve, and your funds never leave your own account.

Is AlphaWeg a broker or an investment adviser?
Neither. AlphaWeg is decision-support software: it surfaces analysis and informational analysis for your own independent review. It is not a broker-dealer and does not accept, hold, or route funds or securities, and it is not an investment adviser and does not provide personalized advice or recommendations tailored to your situation.
Do you trade automatically for me?
No. AlphaWeg never places trades automatically and never exercises discretion over your account. Every individual order is presented to you for review, and nothing proceeds unless you personally approve it. A human — you — is in the loop on each and every order.
Can AlphaWeg withdraw or move my money?
No. AlphaWeg never takes possession or control of your money or securities and is not intended to permit withdrawals; scope is controlled by your broker. Your cash and positions stay with your broker under your control at all times. The access you grant is order-entry scope only — it cannot move funds.
What happens if I do not approve a suggested order?
Nothing happens. Analysis is informational only, and you may reject any order for any reason. If you do not approve it, it is never routed to your broker and no trade is placed. Declining costs you nothing and changes nothing in your account.
How do I connect my broker, and how do I revoke access?
You connect through delegated OAuth on your broker's own domain: you sign in and approve access directly with Interactive Brokers, which issues AlphaWeg a scoped, revocable token. You can revoke that token at any time through your broker, which immediately ends AlphaWeg's authorized access. See our Security page for the full model.
Do you store my broker password?
No. Your broker credentials are entered only with your broker, on its own site. AlphaWeg never asks for, receives, or stores your broker login password. The connection is made through a delegated authorization token, not by sharing your password.
Which brokers are supported?
Interactive Brokers is the planned first integration, connected through IBKR delegated Web API - currently in development and pending the broker production approval; not yet available. Additional brokers, including Colmex, are planned on the roadmap but not yet available. IBKR is an independent third party you already use; AlphaWeg is not affiliated with, sponsored by, or endorsed by it.
Is this available to clients in Israel?
AlphaWeg's regulatory and licensing status in Israel is currently under review with qualified Israeli counsel, and this answer will be updated to reflect their final determination. Nothing in the software should be interpreted as regulated investment advice or investment marketing. Please see the Risk Disclosure for the current status.
Do you guarantee profits or a win rate?
No. AlphaWeg makes no promise, projection, or guarantee of any level of return or performance. Trading involves substantial risk, including the possible loss of principal, and past or illustrative results do not indicate future outcomes. All trading decisions, and their outcomes, are yours.
What data do you collect?
Broadly: account and contact details you provide, the delegated OAuth token and connection metadata, the brokerage data you authorize within the approved scopes, and basic usage and technical logs. We do not collect your broker password and cannot move your funds. The full detail is in our Privacy Policy.
What are the risks?
Trading involves substantial risk of loss, and you may lose some, all, or more than you invest. Analysis and models are informational only and can be incomplete, delayed, or wrong, and software, data, and connectivity can fail. Read the full Risk Disclosure before using the software, and never rely on it as your only means of monitoring your account.
Who is responsible for my orders?
You are. Every order originates from and is confirmed by you before it routes to your own brokerage account for execution, and you retain sole responsibility and control over its terms, timing, and suitability. AlphaWeg does not execute trades or manage your account, and your broker — an independent third party — handles the actual execution.
