Question 1

What is a 'trigger'?

Accepted Answer

A trigger is any event or milestone that could move a stock's price — an earnings report, a product launch, a regulatory decision, or an overdue update on a deal that was promised months ago. TriggrTrackr finds both the confirmed ones (with a date) and the inferred ones (based on what the company has said).

Question 2

How is this different from just reading news?

Accepted Answer

News tells you what happened. TriggrTrackr traces what's coming. It reads the last several press releases for a stock, maps out commitments the company has made, identifies overdue milestones, and projects what should logically happen next — so you can position ahead of the announcement rather than react to it.

Question 3

Why is it taking so long?

Accepted Answer

Depending on the amount of relevant publicly available news, TriggrTrackr will take up to 50 seconds to find everything it needs in order to provide the best coverage and most recent news articles.

Question 4

What does 'Triggers to Watch' mean?

Accepted Answer

These are inferred milestones with no confirmed date yet. For example: a company said 'deal expected within 3 months' six months ago — that deadline has passed and an update is overdue. Or Phase 1 trials completed — Phase 2 should follow. These appear as watch items rather than on the dated timeline.

Question 5

Which markets and exchanges are supported?

Accepted Answer

All major global exchanges via Yahoo Finance, with enhanced Nordic coverage. Nordic micro-caps that don't appear in Yahoo's default search results are surfaced via ticker pattern matching.

Question 6

Where does the data come from?

Accepted Answer

Various news source incuding GlobeNewswire and SEC EDGAR along with several local news sources.

Question 7

How often is data refreshed?

Accepted Answer

The first time you look up a stock, TriggrTrackr does a full analysis. On return visits after one hour, it checks for new articles published since the last run and only analyzes those.

Question 8

The coverage is limited in my country, what do I do?

Accepted Answer

Send us a mail at info@triggrtrackr.com and we will look into it!

Question 9

Can't I just use ChatGPT for this?

Accepted Answer

ChatGPT will give you a great overview of the company. What it can't do is read last Tuesday's press release, extract that the board committed to pilot results before Q3, and still have that in memory when the next release drops to tell you whether it was delivered or not. That's what you're paying for.

Question 10

Why are some triggers missing from ChatGPT's list?

Accepted Answer

Because they only appear if you read the actual press releases in sequence. ChatGPT gives you the investment thesis — macro themes and sector tailwinds that show up in any analyst note. TriggrTrackr surfaces specific commitments the company made in a particular release, tracks whether a deadline was implied, and flags when no update has come. That's not something pattern-matched background knowledge can do.
