30 seconds to decide which fits you
You want to learn alongside the strategies, using our tools
You open OpenAlpha daily, look at the live signals, read why each pattern triggered, verify the history with backtests. You're happy with the parameters and assets we provide — because you're here to learn, not to build.
Typical user: finance students, CFA candidates, developers learning quant, retail traders who want to understand their own trades
You want to build your own research on top of our engine
You want to grid-search your own optimal parameters, validate with walk-forward, save dozens of configurations, hit our API from your own systems, build custom asset baskets. Pro turns OpenAlpha from a learning tool into your research backend.
Typical user: independent quant researchers, traders validating their own strategies, developers building trading systems

FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
Is OpenAlpha an investment adviser?
No. OpenAlpha is a quantitative research and education platform. The signals you see are mathematical model outputs based on historical data — they are not personalized investment advice and should not be used as the sole basis for trading decisions.
Can I cancel anytime?
Yes. Subscriptions are month-to-month (or annual). Cancel anytime from your account page. Annual subscribers can request a prorated refund within the first 14 days.
Why is your code on GitHub if you charge for it?
Because the value isn't the algorithms (those are public academic research). The value is the platform: real-time data ingestion, multi-market scanning, parameter optimization at scale, an educational interface, and continuous research. We open-source the math so you can verify and learn from it; we charge for the experience that turns it into a tool you can actually use.
What's the difference between Learner and Pro?
Learner ($29) is for traders who want to follow the strategies and learn from real-time signals — it includes everything you need to understand and act on what the models say. Pro ($99) is for builders who want to customize: longer history, parameter optimization, custom asset baskets, API access, and webhook alerts. If you mostly read and trade, Learner is enough. If you want to research and tinker, get Pro.
Do you offer student or academic discounts?
Yes — students with a valid .edu email get 50% off Learner. Email us at hello@litananalytics.com from your student address and we'll set it up.
Will signal accuracy guarantee profits?
No. All quantitative strategies have periods where they fail — that's why we show you the historical drawdowns honestly on the Performance page. Trading involves real risk of loss. Use the platform to learn and build informed views, not to follow signals blindly.
OpenAlpha is a quantitative research and education platform, not a registered investment adviser. All signals are mathematical model outputs based on historical data. Past performance does not indicate future results.
