What do I get in each email?

Each weekday briefing has three parts: a short market editorial covering what moved overnight, the day's top financial story with context, and a personalized section with prices and AI-researched summaries for every stock on your watchlist.

Does the briefing cover macro events and global markets?

Yes. The market editorial covers global market context every morning — interest rate decisions, economic data releases, geopolitical developments, sector trends — and explains how these connect to what you're seeing in markets. The goal is to make sense of the bigger picture, not just report what moved.

When is the email sent?

Every weekday at 5 AM in your timezone. There is also an optional Saturday edition with a weekly market summary — you can opt in from the preferences page.

What languages is the briefing available in?

English and German. You can set your preferred language in the preferences page after signing up.

Can I read past briefings?

Briefings are delivered by email and are not currently archived on the website. We recommend saving emails you want to revisit.

Which stocks and ETFs can I track?

Over 10,000 stocks and ETFs traded on Tradegate Exchange, including DAX, MDAX, and international securities from major global markets.

Does it work for German stocks (DAX, MDAX)?

Yes. DAX and MDAX stocks are fully supported, alongside ETFs and international securities. All price data comes from Tradegate Exchange.

How many stocks can I add?

You can add up to 15 securities to your watchlist. To add a new one once you've reached the limit, remove one first.

Can I change my watchlist after signing up?

Yes, at any time. Sign in to your dashboard, search for a stock or ETF, and add or remove it. Changes take effect in the next briefing.

Where does the price data come from?
