Frequently Asked Questions

Member Questions

A: In two phrases, “Simple to use” and “Time efficient”. Our goal is to take subjective and emotional aspects out of trading and revolutionize the investment selection process. Other systems require a lot of work on your end. We don’t design search robots or screeners for you to use. We do the heavy lifting by analyzing thousands of securities on a daily basis to arrive at high probability trading opportunities. To our knowledge, Interceptor is the first and only offering of its kind.

A: We are not a brokerage firm and we don’t offer financial advice or manage your money. We are a software-as-a-service (SaaS) provider. You will be able to link our subscription to one of several on-line brokerage accounts to make your trade executions seamless and time-efficient. At any time, you can modify any of our suggested trades directly in your personal brokerage account.

A: It’s always your money, your choice, your portfolio. Our success and track record comes from following the outputs and regimen of our model. While it may be tempting to deviate from our systematic program, our goal is to give our subscribers as close to the replica of our system as a guide to execute.

A: We recommend that you review each of the candidates and do your own research. Our system takes literally seconds to execute for each of the 3 steps.

A: You may execute Step 1 in the Trade Blueprint at any time with the understanding that the trades selected are sent in one process as market orders. Our system is based on trades sent prior to the opening bell as market orders.

A: That’s an excellent question. The simple answer is shorts can be more complicated especially for the novice. In order to short a stock you need to obtain approval for that stock from your brokerage firm, that it’s available to borrow and in the quantity you desire. This is referred to as a “locate”, meaning the firm has the stock and quantity available to lend you to short it. One reason is that brokerage firms do not always have your desired stock or quantity available to borrow. There are other reasons.. Check with your brokerage firm for further details on their requirements for placing short trades.

A: We expect to roll out numerous API’s from various brokerage firms. Check back from time to time to see what we’ve included.

A: We hope that day never comes. But, if you need to cancel your subscription, you may do so, provided you cancel before the next billing cycle begins. Since our subscriptions are month to month with no additional requirements of deposits, as long as you cancel before the first day of your next billing cycle, you won’t be charged the monthly fee. We ask that you go to “My Account” and choose from “Billing and Subscriptions”. From here you will be able to click on “Cancel My Subscription”. If you cancel prior to the remainder of the current month, you will still have use of the system for the remainder of the current billing cycle. However, once you cancel, you will not have any privileges in the ensuing month and thereafter until you re-subscribe.

General Questions

A: We recommend a $25000 margin account* (see Required Disclaimer at end of FAQ) to take full advantage of our system. At minimum, we would recommend no less than $10,000.

A: We recommend that you review each of the candidates and do your own research. Our system takes literally seconds to execute for each of the 3 steps.

Pattern Day Trading Rule

The Pattern Day Trader(PDT) rules were put in place by FINRA to require minimum levels of equity be deposited and maintained in day trading accounts or you will be flagged as a “Pattern Day Trader”.

You will be flagged as a PDT if you execute more than 3-day trades within any rolling five trading day period. If you become flagged as a PDT you will be required to maintain a day trading minimum equity of $25,000. If you maintain this requirement you can continue trading as normal.

If you are flagged as a PDT and the account equity is below the SEC required minimum of $25,000 you will be issued a minimum equity call. You do not have to meet the call with funding but if you make a day trade while your account has an active call status then your account will be set to ‘Restricted – Closing Only’ status.This means you will not be able to initiate any new positions for 90 days. You will be able to close out positions that were open prior to the restriction.

*REQUIRED DISCLAIMER

Trading on margin carries a high level of risk, and may not be suitable for all investors. The high degree of leverage can work against you as well as for you. Before deciding to invest you should carefully consider your investment objectives, level of experience, and risk appetite. The possibility exists that you could sustain a loss of some or all of your initial investment and therefore you should not invest money that you cannot afford to lose. You should be aware of all the risks associated with trading, and seek advice from an independent financial advisor if you have any doubts

We emphasize that no information set forth on this website is an invitation to trade any specific investments. Trading requires risking money in pursuit of future gain. That is your decision. Do not risk any money you cannot afford to lose. This website does not take into account your own individual financial and personal circumstances. It is intended for educational purposes only and NOT as individual investment advice. Do not act on this information without advice from your investment professional, who you should expect to determine what is suitable for your particular needs and circumstances. Failure to seek detailed professional, personally-tailored advice prior to making any investment could result in actions contrary to your best interests and loss of capital.
