Frequently Asked Questions

No. Everything published here — signals, screening verdicts, win rates, losses — is research and transparency data, not a personalized recommendation. Trading involves real risk regardless of how a business is screened, and past signal performance is not a promise of future results. See the disclaimer at the bottom of every page before making any decision with real money.

No. A COMPLIANT verdict means a stock or coin passed a specific, published screening methodology, applied consistently and shown with its real underlying ratios — not a religious ruling from a qualified scholar. Screening reflects a methodology, not a fatwa, and isn't a substitute for your own due diligence or a scholar's guidance on your specific situation. See Methodology for exactly what is and isn't checked.

Every stock is checked against seven published methodologies — AAOIFI, Usmani, Dow Jones Islamic, S&P Shariah, MSCI Islamic, MSCI Islamic M-Series, and FTSE Shariah — using financial ratios sourced directly from SEC filings (debt, non-compliant income, receivables), plus a business-activity classifier that screens out companies whose core business isn't permissible regardless of their ratios. Results are cross-checked against Halal Terminal and a secondary independent provider, so no single source is the only word. Crypto assets are reviewed individually — a coin's actual mechanism (utility token vs. interest-bearing stablecoin vs. staking reward) determines its verdict, not a blanket "crypto is/isn't halal" rule. Full breakdown: Methodology.

Signals come from a set of independent technical screeners (breakout, gap, momentum, VWAP, candlestick patterns, and others) that only ever look at symbols that already passed compliance screening — a signal can't be generated on a non-compliant stock in the first place. Every signal posts with a real stop, a real target, and is tracked to a real resolved outcome (WIN or LOSS), published on Signals and aggregated on Performance — including the signal types that are currently losing. Nothing is hidden after the fact.

Because a track record that only shows winners isn't evidence of anything. Every hypothesis this platform tests — which signal types actually have an edge, which factors predict outcomes — is registered on Research Lab before its result is known, so a question can't be quietly reworded after the fact to match whatever the data happened to show. When a strategy doesn't hold up, that gets published too.

No. Every page on this site — signals, screening results, performance history, the research registry — is free to read. There's no paywall and no paid tier gating better data behind a subscription.

Not to read anything. Every verdict, the method behind it, every signal open and resolved, and the full research registry are readable signed out, with no paywall. An account only adds the things that are yours — a watchlist, price alerts, a trade journal, saved screens and the zakat calculator — and nothing moves behind it when you make one. The Discord server is where the community discusses signals in real time; joining it is optional, not required to use anything on this site.

QUESTIONABLE means a real, active scholarly disagreement exists about the specific case — not that the screen couldn't decide. NON-COMPLIANT means the business activity or financial ratios clearly fail the methodology being applied. Both verdicts show the real reasoning behind them — a screener that returns a verdict with no reason attached is asking to be trusted rather than checked.
