FAQ

Is The Contrarian free to use?+

Yes. Every server starts on the free plan: alerts for 3 tickers (AAPL, AMD, AMZN), same AI analysis and confidence bar as premium. Premium unlocks the full 35-ticker watchlist plus macro/economic-calendar alerts.

How do I add it to my server?+

Join the official Discord server and get it added to yours, then run /setup and pick your alert channel from the menu. Anyone with the Manage Server permission can do this, no approval or waiting needed. Prefer a hand with it? Run /request_help instead.

Why am I not seeing many alerts?+

Alerts are infrequent by design. Most scans find nothing worth flagging, and the bot only posts setups that clear your server's confidence bar. New servers start at 0, so every flagged setup posts; once an admin raises it (55/100 is recommended), expect fewer, stronger alerts. Silence means it's working as intended, not that it's broken.

Does it cover crypto or options?+

No, just the tracked 35-ticker stock watchlist, plus US economic-calendar events (NFP, CPI, Fed decisions) and earnings-date heads-ups for the watchlist. No crypto, no options flow.

Is this financial advice?+

No. Everything it posts (bull/bear cases, confidence scores, historical comparisons) is AI-generated and informational only, not a recommendation to buy, sell, or hold. See the full disclaimer below, or the Terms of Service for the complete legal version.

What data does the bot store?+

Per-server settings (alert channel, ticker list, plan tier), a rolling log of alerts sent (used by /recap and /track_record), and minimal per-user data, just a timestamp to avoid double-replying to DMs. No trading history or personal financial data is collected. Full breakdown in the Terms of Service.

Is it actually verified by Discord?+

Yes, it's completed Discord's verification review. Look for the checkmark + APP tag next to its name in Discord, same as the badge at the top of this page.

Can I customize how alerts behave in my server?+

Yes, all self-serve for anyone with the Manage Server permission: raise or lower the confidence bar with /set_confidence_threshold, set a role to ping with /set_stock_ping_role or /set_macro_ping_role, and pause or resume alerts with /pause_alerts / /resume_alerts.
