Frequently asked questions

InvestWhen reads thousands of market, macro and geopolitical sources every day on hardware we own, and turns them into one clear, source-cited read on the direction that matters — for the markets and topics you follow.

Clarity and time. You see where markets, sectors and themes are leaning — when conditions are turning, who is winning and why — early and source-cited, so you can make your own better-timed decisions and sidestep avoidable losses. Removing that fog often and fast is an edge most investors do not have. Your subscription is the key to that daily read and the tools to act on it.

Timing and early warning, in plain words. The Radar shows where attention is building, which way it points and what it could knock into next, so you can act before the effect reaches your wallet: order stock or make a big purchase before shipping costs feed through, hold off when a market is turning against you, spot when a squeeze is easing rather than panicking at the bottom, and see rising energy or food pressure early enough to adjust bills and budgets. It also flags the non-money knock-ons — health and medicine supply, travel disruption, job market shifts, migration and cultural effects — because those shape everyday plans too. It will not tell you what to buy, and it is not advice. What it does is remove the fog earlier than the headlines do, which is where most avoidable losses and missed opportunities come from.

No. Everything on InvestWhen is general, audience-wide information and education only. It is never personal investment, tax or legal advice, never a buy, sell or hold recommendation, and never tailored to your circumstances.

From license-cleared public and official sources — central banks, statistics offices, regulators and vetted global feeds — plus primary SEC filings for the finance data. Every read links back to its sources.

No. Our own models run on hardware we operate in the EU. Your data is never sent to a third-party AI and never sold.

Nine — English, Dutch, German, French, Spanish, Italian, Portuguese, Polish and Arabic. The interface and the content are localized, not just translated word for word.

Our models synthesize the day's source material into a direction-level read — what looks like it is heading higher, lower or sideways, and why — with the reasoning and sources behind it. We never give a buy or sell verdict on an individual security.

A glanceable daily board for everything you follow. For each market or theme it shows how much more news it is drawing than in a normal week (hot, warming or quiet), which way that coverage points (its lean), and the possible ripple effects in everyday words — for example: conflict in a region → ships take longer routes → shipping costs rise → imported goods get pricier. Designed to be checked in 30 seconds each morning.

Action, not talk — detected worldwide from public data. When company executives sell an unusually large amount of their own stock (from SEC filings) while the share is falling, that is an event. When a regional market index — the S&P 500, EURO STOXX 50, DAX, FTSE 100, Nikkei 225, Hang Seng, NIFTY 50, KOSPI or Bovespa — moves far outside its normal daily range, that is an event too, and when several regions move together we flag it as global. Every event says who it concerns, it appears in your daily brief and on the radar the same day, and it grounds the reads our models write. Routine trading never qualifies — a quiet week means no events, on purpose.

Yes — it was built for you. Every finance term on the board is paired with a plain-words version ('leaning higher' means most new coverage expects prices to rise), and a 30-second glossary explains lean, heat, flows and ripples. You learn the vocabulary as you use it.

No — nothing on InvestWhen is a recommendation. The Radar shows where attention and direction are moving and what that could knock into next, so you can plan everyday decisions — stocking up, budgeting, timing a big purchase — with your own judgment and better information.

Nine market areas — global macro, US equities, EU equities, rates and bonds, FX, commodities, energy, crypto and emerging markets — and twelve daily themes: monetary policy, geopolitics, inflation, earnings season, tech, the energy transition, trade, housing, sports business, health, jobs and travel. Every one gets direction reads, radar signals and plain-words ripple effects, in nine languages.

Yes — every plan includes an AI market chat, and it is how you get answers the pages do not spell out. Open a chat from any read or any radar card and the analyst starts with everything behind it: the signal, the confirmed market events, the interpretation, the dated reads and their source articles. Then ask what it means for the themes you follow, why it is moving, how two developments connect, or what could change the picture — answers stay grounded in that data and cited, with dates. Free includes a monthly allowance, and paid plans include hundreds to thousands of questions.

There is a free daily pulse with radar highlights. Paid plans start at 12 euros a month for daily digests. Instant alerts and hourly digests arrive with Insider at 24 euros a month, and the Founders' Circle tops the range. You can cancel anytime and prices include VAT.
