FAQ

Quick answers to the questions we hear most often.

What does Finny do?

Finny is a CLI-based AI trading assistant. You describe a trading idea in plain English, and Finny helps generate strategy code, validate it, save iterations, and run backtests.

Is Finny a budgeting app or financial advisor?

No. Finny is not a budgeting app and does not provide personal financial advice. It is a developer and trader tool for algorithmic investing workflows, market research, strategy generation, and backtesting.

Which markets and broker workflows does Finny support?

Finny supports stock and crypto strategy workflows, with Alpaca and Binance integrations documented today. Broker support is designed around paper trading, live trading workflows, and inspectable strategy code.

Does Finny execute trades automatically?

Finny can support broker-connected workflows, but generated strategies should be reviewed and tested before live use. The core value is faster strategy development, validation, and backtesting, not black-box investment advice.
