Frequently Asked Questions.

How does the 7 day free trial work?
All pricing plans include a 7 day free trial. Pay $0 when you sign up and after the free trial period ends in 7 days, your credit card will be automatically charged for the normal monthly subscription fees. Cancel your account at any time for any reason within the first 7 days and your credit card will NOT be charged.
How does the Vantage Alerts trade alert service work?
For less than $2 per day, you will get unlimited access to our real-time Buy / Sell trading alerts. We send real-time trade alerts via email and SMS text message. We usually send 3-5 “Buy” Trade Alerts per week during normal market trading hours. Email Alerts and SMS Alerts are sent out at the exact same time and include the same information. We also give you real-time access to our current portfolio holdings through the Account Dashboard when logged into your Vantage Alerts account. Unlike full service brokers that usually have a vested interest in the stocks they recommend, we have the freedom to select high-quality securities based on fundamental research and technical chart analysis. Our independence ensures Vantage Alerts never receives any form of compensation from any companies recommended in our trade alerts and Vantage Alerts has no relationship or associations with any companies from our research reports. Our research-driven process is a proven formula for picking strategic buying opportunities in the market that offer strong upside for overall ROI and is primarily based on technical chart analysis. Each company that we recommend must also satisfy our fundamental research requirements including intrinsic growth rates, forward price/earnings ratio, positive quarterly earnings growth, upward stock price movement, implied volatility, unusual options activity and more. Once a specific position has achieved a decent percentage gain either at or close to our original target exit price, we send real-time Sell trade alerts via email and SMS text message. You always maintain 100% control over your portfolio and it’s always your decision to buy or sell any of our stock pick recommendations. No trader is always 100% correct, but our proven formula for fundamental stock research has resulted in a 79% success rate for profitability exiting our positions since inception.
How many real-time trade alerts do we send each week?
We usually send 3-5 “Buy” Trade Alerts per week during normal market trading hours. Buy alerts are dependent on overall market direction. If the entire market is trending downwards, it’s better to wait for the right buying opportunity, even if it means sending less than 3 Buy trade alerts for that specific week. Our goal is always to send 3-5 Buy Trade Alerts per week, but some weeks might include fewer than 3 Buy Trade Alerts if the entire market is trending to the downside for the week. There is no set schedule for sending “Sell” trade alerts. Sell trade alerts are sent at any given time when a specific position has achieved our targeted percentage gain. Most Sell trade alerts are sent during normal market trading hours, but we also send Sell alerts during premarket and aftermarket trading hours.
How are the real-time trade alerts sent?
We send real-time trade alerts via email and SMS text message. Email Alerts and SMS Alerts are sent out at the exact same time and include the same information. You can manage your notification settings for trade alerts on the Vantage Alerts Account Dashboard. After you log in, click the “Notification Settings” link on the left side of the Account Dashboard to update your contact information for receiving Email Alerts and SMS Alerts.
How long on average do you hold your stock positions?
Please note, this is not a day trading service. Our average hold time for stock positions is usually 1-4 weeks on average. Sometimes our exit price targets are achieved within the first 2 days and sometimes it takes more than 8 weeks to achieve our exit price targets. The goal of every Buy alert is to achieve profitable gains as quickly as possible, even if it means exiting positions on the same day that we open them. We do not use automatic price stops. We enter every new position with the expectation that the trade will be profitable, but we are prepared to hold positions for the long term (6-12 months or longer) when we are incorrect on price direction and timeframe. We recommend using an even asset allocation strategy to ensure no single position represents more than 10% of your overall trading portfolio.
Does Vantage Alerts makes same day trades?
Yes. We only trade high-quality securities and our average hold time for stock positions is usually 1-4 weeks on average, but we will often execute same day trades if we can lock in decent gains within 24 hours. Sometimes our exit price targets are achieved within the first 2 days and sometimes it takes more than 8 weeks to achieve our exit price targets. Our research-driven investment approach has allowed our subscribers to profitably exit 79% of positions with an average net return of 8.57% in 30 days.
Does Vantage Alerts manage portfolios?
No. We are not a brokerage firm and we do not manage portfolios. We simply provide the real-time Buy / Sell stock trade alerts. You will always maintain 100% control over your trades and taking action on our Buy / Sell trade alerts will always be at your sole discretion.
Does Vantage Alerts make the trades for me?
No. You will always maintain 100% control over your portfolio and your trades. You are responsible for executing the trades yourself using your existing trading account and deciding what percentage of your portfolio to allocate to our trade recommendations is always at your sole discretion.
Does Vantage Alerts charge commissions or broker fees?
Absolutely not. No broker fees. No commissions. There are no hidden fees and the only cost you’ll pay to use our service is the flat rate monthly subscription fee starting at $49 per month.
What is your fundamental investment approach for picking stocks?
Our investment approach is 100% research-driven. Our research-driven process is a proven formula for picking strategic buying opportunities in the market that offer strong upside for overall ROI and is primarily based on technical chart analysis. Each company that we recommend must also satisfy our fundamental research requirements including intrinsic growth rates, forward price/earnings ratio, positive quarterly earnings growth, upward stock price movement, implied volatility, unusual options activity and more. Unlike full service brokers that usually have a vested interest in the stocks they recommend, we have the freedom to select high-quality securities based on fundamental research and technical chart analysis. Our independence ensures Vantage Alerts never receives any form of compensation from any companies recommended in our trade alerts and Vantage Alerts has no relationship or associations with any companies from our research reports.
What type of allocation do you suggest when buying recommended stocks?
We typically recommend a 10-15% allocation of your overall portfolio for each trade alert, but you can allocate more or less based on your own personal tolerance for risk. The allocation for each trade alert is 100% your decision as ONLY you can judge your personal risk tolerance.
Do the real-time trade alerts include target exit prices?
Yes. We include the exact target exit price with every Buy trade alert. However, you don’t necessarily have to wait for the stock to hit our target price if you’re comfortable taking profits earlier.
Do you require a long-term contract or commitment?
Absolutely not. We offer flexible subscription plans charged on a month to month basis. There are no long term contracts and no hidden fees. You can cancel at any time for any reason. All pricing plans include a 7 day free trial. Pay $0 when you sign up and after the free trial period ends in 7 days, your credit card will be automatically charged for the normal monthly subscription fees.

Do you offer trade alerts for options trading?
No. We don’t offer trade alerts for options trading. We only trade equity stocks on the NYSE and NASDAQ.
Do you send trade alerts during premarket and aftermarket hours?
Yes, but this is extremely rare and only limited to Sell trade alerts. We never send Buy trade alerts during premarket and aftermarket trading hours. We would only send a Sell trade alert during premarket or aftermarket trading hours if it was absolutely necessary to maximize the profit gains on the trade.
Do you use automatic price stops?
No. We do not use automatic price stops. We enter every new position with the expectation that the trade will be profitable, but we are prepared to hold positions for the long term (6-12 months or longer) when we are incorrect on short-term price direction and timeframe. We recommend using an even asset allocation strategy to ensure no single position represents more than 10% – 15% of your overall trading portfolio.

If you sign up for the Email Alerts + SMS Alerts Plan, you will receive both email notifications and SMS notifications each time we send out a new trade alert. EMAIL TRADE ALERTS AND SMS TRADE ALERTS CONTAIN THE SAME EXACT INFORMATION. The only difference between our 3 pricing plans is the delivery method for how you receive the real-time trade alerts. Email Only. SMS Only. Or Both Email and SMS. ALL TRADE ALERTS FOR BOTH EMAIL AND SMS DELIVERY ARE SENT OUT AT THE EXACT SAME TIME.
