Editorial Standards
How ProChart researches, writes, fact-checks, and discloses AI usage. What we are — and what we are explicitly not.
Editorial principles
- We cite our sources. Every market claim links back to institutional research, regulatory filings, or primary data feeds (Financial Modeling Prep, CoinGecko, exchange APIs).
- We separate facts from interpretation. AI-generated narrative is clearly labeled as analysis, never prediction.
- We update content when the underlying market changes. Older articles carry a 'Last updated' timestamp.
- We do not promote specific securities or recommend specific trades. We educate and inform — we do not advise.
AI disclosure
Where AI is used: our Market Brief, asset analysis reports, and interactive ProChat use a multi-agent AI pipeline built on Perplexity Sonar (live web search), Google Gemini, OpenAI GPT-4, and Anthropic Claude models. Outputs are clearly labeled as AI-assisted analysis.
Where AI is not the editorial voice: long-form articles published under 'ProChart Research' are written and reviewed by the ProChart team. AI may assist with drafting, fact-checking, and translation, but final editorial responsibility is human.
Data sources
Market prices, fundamentals, and news in our reports come from the following primary providers:
- Financial Modeling Prep (FMP) — equities, forex, commodities pricing and fundamentals
- CoinGecko — cryptocurrency pricing and market metrics
- Tiingo — historical OHLC data and intraday feeds
- Perplexity Sonar — live market intelligence, news, and event context
- Public exchange filings — earnings, regulatory disclosures
Conflict of interest
ProChart does not trade based on its own published content. We do not have undisclosed sponsorship relationships with any broker, trading platform, or asset issuer. When a brand partnership exists, we disclose it at the top of every affected page.
Corrections policy
When we identify a factual error, we correct the published page and add a dated correction note at the bottom of the article. Material corrections — those that change a key claim or numeric figure — are also noted in the page metadata so historical revisions are traceable.
Update cadence
- Market Briefs: generated twice daily (05:00 UTC daily + 13:30 UTC Monday–Friday) for stocks, crypto, forex, and commodities.
- Educational articles: reviewed and updated at least annually, or whenever the underlying market context changes materially.
- Methodology and editorial standards: reviewed quarterly. This page's last review is shown in the footer.
Author attribution
Articles with a named byline (e.g., 'By Lior Paryente') reflect that individual's personal research and views, with editorial oversight from the ProChart team. Articles published under the 'ProChart Research' byline are produced collaboratively or AI-assisted under human editorial review.
What ProChart is not
- Not a brokerage. We do not execute trades or hold client funds.
- Not a licensed investment advisor, portfolio manager, or certified financial analyst service. We do not provide personalized investment advice.
- Not a regulated financial institution. ProChart is a financial-analysis software platform.
- Not a guaranteed source of profit. All trading involves risk; past performance does not predict future results.
