English edition — launching soon

A read on the US session,
before the opening bell

Every trading day we publish one call on how to read the US market — then, after the close, we publish whether that call was right. The record is part of the product, not a footnote.

Research publication delivered to Telegram. Not investment advice. Alpha Engine is not a registered investment adviser and does not provide individualized recommendations. Markets involve risk of loss. No performance is guaranteed.

Up to three fixed touchpoints, every US trading day

Published on a schedule, not when we feel like it. Times below shift by one hour between EST and EDT because the schedule is anchored to Seoul time.

08:00 ET
09:00 EDT
Pre-open brief — before the bell: how we read today's session, macro and rate context, the levels that matter, and swing ideas with entry zones, targets and invalidation. Both plans — US-Basic receives the market read only; levels and ideas are Pro only.
09:00 ET
before the open
Day Pick — published before the opening bell: same-day names on watch, each with an entry zone and a hard stop. Every Day Pick is closed out before the close — never held overnight. Pro only.
16:30 ET
17:30 EDT
Close report — within about an hour of the close: what actually happened, the pre-open call graded hit or miss in the open, position P&L split into realized / unrealized, and what it means for tomorrow. Both plans.

Swing ideas run days to weeks. The Day Pick is same-day only and is always closed before the close. We do not publish intraday alerts for US names beyond these fixed times.

How the call gets made

A fixed pipeline runs before every publication. The same gates apply whether the answer is bullish, bearish, or "stand down".

Macro regime first

Before any single name, the session gets a regime read. When the regime says stand down, the output is "no new positions today" — stated plainly, with no ideas attached. A publication that cannot say "don't trade" is a marketing channel, not research.

⚡

Every idea ships with its exit

An idea is not published unless it carries an entry zone, a target, an invalidation level, and the date by which its thesis must prove out. When that date arrives, we re-judge it in the open — valid, broken, or extended once.

Earnings are avoided, not gambled on

If a company reports inside an open position's horizon, the default is to be out two sessions before the print. Holding an earnings date is a coin flip wearing a thesis. When we do take one deliberately, it is labelled as a bet, sized down, and scored on a separate track so it cannot flatter the main record.

Why no checkout button yet. Our payment processor and our self-service cancellation flow are both built for the Korean market — card processing is in Korean won, and account verification uses a Korean mobile number. We are not opening English-language billing until you can subscribe in USD and cancel or request a refund yourself, without emailing anyone. Until that is true, we would rather take your email than your money.

Pricing. USD pricing is confirmed before launch. The won figures above are today's Korean-market prices, shown so you can judge the range — they are a reference, not a quote.

Questions

Is this investment advice?

No. Alpha Engine is a research publication. Everything we publish is impersonal and identical for every subscriber on a tier — we do not know your portfolio, your risk tolerance, or your account, and we do not tailor anything to them. We are not a registered investment adviser or broker-dealer in the United States or anywhere else, we do not manage money, and we never take custody of assets. Nothing we publish is a recommendation to buy or sell any security. You make your own decisions and you carry the outcome.

Who is behind it?

Prime Core Solutions, a company registered in the Republic of Korea. The Korean-language service has been publishing daily to paying subscribers since August 2026. The English edition covers the US-market track only.

Do you guarantee returns?

No, and we would be lying if we did. Trading involves risk of substantial loss, including loss of principal. Past results do not predict future results. Our published record exists so you can judge the work honestly — including the calls we got wrong, which we publish with the same prominence as the ones we got right.

Where is it delivered?

Telegram. Each subscriber gets a single-use invite link to a private channel; the link is bound to your Telegram account the first time you use it, so a leaked link is useless to anyone else. It is a one-way publication — the channels are not chat rooms and we do not answer questions about individual positions in them.

Will you machine-translate the Korean reports?

No. The English edition is written in English from the source material. Our reports are mostly numbers, levels and risk language, and machine translation distorts exactly those parts. If we are going to stand behind a number, we have to be the ones who wrote it.

Will you cover Korean equities in English?

Not at launch. The Korean track assumes you can trade on KRX in the Seoul session, which is the middle of the US night. We would rather publish one track properly than two badly.

When does it launch?

We are not naming a date we cannot hold. Three things gate it: USD billing, self-service cancellation and refunds that need no human, and a US regulatory review. The waitlist email goes out when all three are done, not before.
