Six Things It Does For You

No. Redhound is a research tool, not an adviser. Nothing it produces is a recommendation to buy or sell anything, and none of it is tax or legal advice either. Share prices go down as well as up, what worked before may not work again, and anything that matters to your money is worth running past someone licensed first.

No. You type in a ticker and read what comes back: buy, sell or hold, a confidence score, a suggested position size, and a stop-loss — the price to sell at if it goes against you. There is nothing to set up and no settings to get wrong.

Each one looks at a different thing and writes up what it found. One reads the price charts. One reads the company accounts. The others follow the news, the mood around the stock, how the rest of its industry is doing, whether the people running the company are buying or selling their own shares, which way professional forecasts are moving, whether it looks expensive next to similar companies, and what the market as a whole is doing. Then those nine write-ups get turned into one answer.

How much the nine agreed with each other — not how confidently any one of them wrote. If most of them see the same thing, confidence is high. If they are split, it drops, and the split gets argued out properly before anything is decided. A confident-sounding answer that nothing else backs up will not score well here.

No. It is never connected to your broker and it never moves your money. There is paper trading — your own rules, real prices, no real money — and that is as close as it gets.

A paid market-data provider. Prices, company accounts, official filings and news all come in through the same route, so every piece of analysis can tell you exactly what it was looking at and when.

Yes. Every call gets marked against what the share price actually did afterwards, and the analysts that keep getting it right count for more next time. Building that record is the whole point — it is not a number we made up for a web page.
