Frequently Asked Questions
Honest answers to the questions you should ask before trusting any platform with your time or money.
I’m new to investing — is this for me?
Yes. Start with a virtual portfolio using play money to learn how investing works. The AI Copilot can explain any concept, and every page has contextual help. No experience required.
Do you custody my money?
No. Your money stays at your broker. Novaryn does not hold, move, or custody funds. We never have access to transfer money from your accounts.
Are trades executed automatically?
No. Every trade starts as an order intent that you review and approve before anything is sent to your broker. Simulated mode is the default. You decide if and when to go live.
Is this financial advice?
No. Novaryn provides informational and decision-support tools only. You make all investment decisions. We are not a registered investment advisor.
What is Portfolio Lab?
Portfolio Lab lets you create virtual portfolios with play money and real market prices. Buy and sell stocks and ETFs, track gains and losses, and learn how portfolio construction works — without risking anything.
Can I use it without connecting a broker?
Absolutely. Build virtual portfolios, run backtests, use the AI screener, and explore the learning center — all on the free plan, no broker required. Connecting a broker unlocks live execution, real portfolio tracking, and tax tools.
How does Novaryn AI use AI?
AI powers three areas: the Research Copilot explains portfolio ideas and answers questions in plain language; the AI Stock Screener lets you describe what you’re looking for and get ranked candidates; and AI summarizes key metrics and risks so you can make faster, more informed decisions. AI never places trades or makes decisions for you.
