Retail investing, elevated.
Contra reads the market every day, finds the habits costing you money, and teaches you to read it yourself.
Open Contra in the morning and see what fired overnight — the patterns that quietly move retail returns, from dividend traps and fake earnings beats to post-merger leverage stress, commodity-cycle turns, and rate-regime shifts. Read across the stock, commodity, and bond markets, scored into one clear verdict per name. When there is nothing worth saying, it says so.
Then it turns the lens on you. Link your brokerage and Contra reads your real trades — surfacing the habits quietly costing you money, like banking winners early and letting losers run — so you can stop repeating the same mistake. Read-only, and the verdict stays yours.

Useful output
correct direction plus correct silence, combined
Directional accuracy is scored per pattern against the real price move over each call’s horizon, and surfaced per pattern only once it clears 90% in live data — we don’t put a blended directional number up while the engine is being calibrated.
60-name S&P 500 backtest, April 2025 – April 2026, names with ±10%+ moves. Honest framing on purpose: a framework that knows when it has no view beats one that always has an opinion. Education, not investment advice.
