Help us build better investing toolsWe're conducting a 90-day research study to understand how automated portfolio monitoring affects investor behavior and time management.
A daily email system that monitors your stock watchlist and alerts you when technical conditions (pullbacks, exhaustion signals, etc.) are met—so you don't have to track markets constantly.
• Select 5-10 stocks you're interested in following
• Receive daily email briefs with signals (buy/sell/wait)
• Consider whether to execute the signals and if you do, execute with paper trading (no real money required). This takes no more than 5 mins per day
• Free premium access for life
• Opportunity to shape InvestAssist
Time Commitment
Weekly (5-10 minutes):
• Read your daily signals (most will say "do nothing")
• Complete a 1-minute micro-survey each week:
- "Did you act on signals this week?"
- "How confident did you feel?"Monthly (5 minutes):
• Deeper reflection survey on your experience
• Share what's working and what's confusingAt the end:
• 20-minute exit interview (optional but highly valuable)
• 90 days from your start date
• Rolling enrollment from February 2026
• 30-40 active retail investors
You'll implement your decisions using a paper trading account.We recommend:
• Moomoo Paper Trading (easiest, US & European stocks)
• Trading 212 Practice Account (very user-friendly, popular in Europe)
• You start with virtual $100K and your chosen watchlist.What "Engagement" Means
• Actually consider the signals (you don't have to act on all of them)
• Track your decisions in your paper portfolio
• Give honest feedback in surveys
• Tell us when signals confuse you or when you ignore them and why
✅ You invest in individual stocks (not just index funds)
✅ You're tracking 5-10+ stocks you want to own
✅ Your watchlist includes US or European exchange stocks
✅ You hold for months/years (not day-trading)
✅ You have a busy life—you can't watch markets constantly
✅ You want some control over decisions (not full autopilot)
❌ You day-trade or flip stocks weekly
❌ You only invest in index funds (perfectly fine—just not this study!)
❌ You need help picking which stocks to buy
❌ You can't commit to weekly 1-minute surveys
❌ You're looking for guaranteed returns or stock tips
