Nordsight — learn to invest, properly

Every product with a paid tier wants you to believe you need it. We're going to be honest with you instead. The paid tier (Strategy / Ultimate) does one thing: it gives you more, and deeper, generic analysisof the plan you already imported. It does not unlock secret picks. It does not tell you what to buy. And for a lot of beginners, you genuinely don't need it yet.

Let's be precise about what "deeper" actually means here — because the line between education and investment advice is one Nordsight takes seriously, and you should understand exactly where that line sits before you pay for anything.

What the free tier already gives you

Start here, because most people overestimate what they're missing. On the free tier you get:

This course — the whole written curriculum you're finishing right now.
The Signals feed — the running stream of generic, factual market observations.
Portfolio import — bring your eToro plan in (including the screenshot OCR path).
The quant / risk read — a factual look at your concentration, your exposure, how your holdings cluster. Numbers about your plan, not instructions about your plan.

The honest version

That free set is a complete starting toolkit. A beginner with a freshly imported plan can learn the principles, see a factual risk read of what they hold, and watch the Signals feed for context — without paying a cent. If that's where you are, stay there. Upgrading before you use the deeper analysis is just paying to feel busy.

What the paid tier adds — precisely

Three things, all of them more of the same kind of analysis, just deeper and more often. None of them are a recommendation.

Deeper generic analysis

Market-regime commentary

A generic, educational read on what kind of market backdrop you're in — rates, volatility, breadth, the broad conditions. It describes the weather. It does not tell you to buy an umbrella. You read it, and you decide what it means for the plan you built.

Deeper generic analysis

A factual risk / concentration read

A more detailed version of the free risk read: where your plan is concentrated, how correlated your positions are, where a single shock would hit hardest. It is a mirror held up to your own numbers — facts about what you already hold, not a verdict on whether to hold it.

Deeper generic analysis

Thematic considerations

Generic context on the themes your holdings touch — the structural forces, the things worth understanding before you form your own view. Educational background, not a target list.

On top of that, the paid tier opens up more of the analytical surfaces — the Strategy and Agent views — and lets you run the analysis more often rather than within free-tier limits. It also adds alerts (Telegram and email), a scheduled digest, and a backtest tool. One thing to be clear about: an alert flags generic analysis or a market event — it is never a "buy this" instruction. More throughput on the same generic, educational engine.

Read this twice — it's the whole point

These surfaces (Strategy, Agent) are currently being refined and rolling out in preview. What they present is generic analysis you interpret yourself — market context, factual risk reads, themes to understand. Nordsight never tells you what to buy or sell, never sends a buy-this alert, and never trades for you. There is no copy-trading, no mirror feature, no personal recommendation anywhere in the product. The thinking is always yours.

So when do you actually upgrade?

Simple test: are you already using the free analysis to the edge of its limits? Upgrade when the answer is a real yes — not before.

1
You've finished the course and acted on it
You've imported a plan, you understand position sizing and diversification, and you're reading the free risk read regularly. The fundamentals are in place.
2
You keep hitting the free run limits
You're running the analysis often enough that the free-tier cap is the thing slowing you down — not your own understanding.
3
You'd actually read the deeper output
Market-regime commentary and a deeper concentration read are things you'll genuinely sit with and interpret — not a dashboard you glance at once and forget.

Try first

A friend says "the paid tier on these apps just tells you what to buy — that's what you're paying for." Is that what Nordsight's Strategy tier does?

You've finished the written course

That's the whole curriculum — done. You know what investing is, how to size and diversify, how to write a thesis before you click, and now how Nordsight's tools fit around your own judgement. Keep learning: the free tools — this course, the Signals feed, portfolio import, the quant/risk read — are plenty to put what you've learned to work. Upgrade only when you're actually using the deeper analysis. And never forget the one thing that doesn't change at any tier: it's your decisions, your money, and Nordsight never trades for you. Go build something patient.
