Frequently Asked Questions
Straight answers about how SQ Capital works, what the analysis can and cannot do, and what to expect before you start.
What exactly does SQ Capital do?
SQ Capital runs quantitative analysis over historical and current market data using AI-driven models, then presents the output as structured, readable reports. It is a decision-support tool for first-time investors, not a trading bot and not a broker.
Is SQ Capital a licensed financial advisor?
No. SQ Capital provides data analysis and probabilistic modeling only. Nothing produced by the platform constitutes personalized financial advice, and outputs should not be treated as a recommendation to buy, sell, or hold any asset.
Do I need any prior investing experience to use it?
No. The platform is built with first-time investors in mind. Reports are structured to be readable without a finance background, though we still recommend reviewing the methodology section before acting on any output.
How are the models backtested?
Models are evaluated against historical market data to review how a given approach would have performed in the past. Backtested performance is informative but is not a guarantee of future results — markets change, and past patterns do not always repeat.
Can SQ Capital guarantee returns?
No. All output is probabilistic. Every analysis includes uncertainty, and no model — regardless of how it's built or backtested — can guarantee a financial outcome. Treat every report as one input among several in your own decision process.
What kind of data does the analysis use?
The platform draws on historical price data and other publicly available market information to generate its models. Specific data sources and update frequency are outlined in the methodology section of the site.
Does SQ Capital execute trades on my behalf?
No. SQ Capital does not connect to brokerage accounts and does not place trades. It is strictly an analysis and reporting layer — any decision to act on that analysis, and any execution, is entirely up to you.
How often is the analysis updated?
Update cadence depends on the specific model and market conditions being tracked. General timing details are covered in the "Advantages" and "Why Choose Us" pages; nothing here should be assumed to run in real time unless stated explicitly in-product.
Is my data kept private?
We take data handling seriously and outline our practices in full in the Privacy Policy. We recommend reading that page for details on what is collected and how it is used.
What happens if the market moves against a model's output?
Because every analysis is probabilistic, unfavorable outcomes are always possible. SQ Capital does not smooth over risk or promise downside protection — reports are meant to inform your judgment, not replace it.
Can I use SQ Capital alongside a financial advisor?
Yes. Many users treat SQ Capital as a supplementary research layer alongside advice from a licensed professional. We encourage consulting a qualified advisor for decisions specific to your personal financial situation.
How do I get started?
