Using the Daily Digest

Educational Resource: This guide explains how to interpret features in Profitelligence. Past performance does not guarantee future results. Nothing in this documentation constitutes investment advice.

What Is the Daily Digest?

The Profitelligence Daily Digest is a free email newsletter delivering curated market intelligence every morning at 6:00 AM EST. We analyze overnight 8-K filings, add AI-powered summaries, and include historical price correlation data - all in a 2-minute read.

What you get every morning:

  • 5-10 most significant 8-K filings from the past 24 hours
  • AI-generated plain English summaries of each event
  • Historical context: "Similar events moved +8% on average (9 of 12 times)"
  • No overwhelming detail - just what you need to know
  • 100% free, no platform subscription required

Who it's for:

  • Busy professionals who need market intelligence but don't have time to scan filings
  • Part-time traders who want to stay informed without constant monitoring
  • Curious investors learning about market events and patterns
  • Anyone who wants to know about material corporate events before they hit mainstream news

Key Features

AI-Powered Summaries

We don't just forward SEC filings.

Instead of:

    
    "Item 5.02 - Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors;
Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements..."

  

You get:

    
    "TSLA CEO Transition - New CEO announced, effective immediately.
Previous CEO stepping down after 10 years."

  

Clear, direct, actionable.

Historical Price Correlations

Every event includes context:

Example:

    
    "META Acquisition Filing"
M&A patterns: 6 of 8 moved +5% within 30 days
Average move: +7.2%

  

This tells you:

  • How often this type of event has occurred
  • Historical outcomes
  • Time horizon for typical price movement
  • Gives you context for decision-making

Not a prediction - but historical patterns help frame expectations.

Curated Selection

We don't send everything.

  • 10,000+ 8-Ks filed monthly across all public companies
  • We show 5-10 per day - the most material, market-relevant events
  • Our AI filters for impact, novelty, and correlation strength

Result: Signal without noise.

Daily Digest vs. Custom Alerts

When to Use Digest

Best for:

  • Comprehensive morning overview
  • Discovering new opportunities outside your watchlist
  • Learning about market events broadly
  • Low time commitment (2 minutes daily)
  • Free access to market intelligence

Use digest if: You want passive awareness without constant notifications.

When to Use Custom Alerts

Best for:

  • Real-time notification of specific criteria
  • Watching specific stocks closely
  • Acting on time-sensitive signals
  • Filtering to your exact strategy
  • Requires platform subscription

Use alerts if: You need immediate notification when specific conditions occur.

Using Both

Optimal strategy for many traders:

Daily Digest: Morning overview of everything material

Custom Alerts: Real-time for high-priority signals

Example:

  • Digest: Learn about overnight events across all markets
  • Alert: Get notified immediately if insiders buy at your holdings

Complementary, not redundant.

What the Daily Digest Doesn't Do

Not Comprehensive

We show 5-10 events per day. There might be 100+ 8-Ks filed overnight.

Trade-off: Curation (signal) vs. Completeness (noise)

Solution if you need everything: Use Company Actions Tracker to see all filings, not just digest highlights.

Not Real-Time

Digest arrives once per day at 6 AM EST. Events filed at 8 AM EST won't appear until tomorrow.

Trade-off: Convenience vs. Immediacy

Solution if you need real-time: Set up custom alerts or check Company Actions Tracker throughout the day.

Not Personalized

Everyone gets the same digest. It's not filtered to your watchlist or preferences.

Trade-off: Broad exposure to opportunities vs. Targeted monitoring

Solution if you need personalization: Use Watchlist Activity Tracker or custom alerts for your specific stocks.

Not Actionable Instructions

We provide information and historical context. We don't say "buy this" or "sell that."

Why: We're an intelligence platform, not investment advisors.

Your responsibility: Take our data and make your own informed decisions.

Advanced Tips

Tip 1: Forward to Team or Group

Share valuable events: Forward individual event entries to colleagues or trading partners.

Use case: You see M&A in your sector - forward to team for discussion.

Tip 2: Archive and Review

Create email folder: Save all digests to "Profitelligence Digest" folder

Monthly review: Go back and check outcomes of highlighted events.

Goal: Calibrate your intuition - which event types historically mattered?

Tip 3: Pair with News Sources

Workflow:

  1. Read digest (6:00 AM)
  2. Read financial news (7:00 AM - Bloomberg, WSJ, etc.)
  3. Notice: You knew about many events hours before news covered them

Advantage: Better context when news finally reports it.

Tip 4: Use as Research Filter

Instead of: Scanning hundreds of stocks daily for ideas

Try: Let digest surface interesting events → Research those companies

Efficiency: Event-driven research pipeline.

Tip 5: Track Historical Accuracy

Exercise: Pick 10 events from digest, note historical correlation data.

30 days later: Check actual price movement.

Question: Did historical patterns hold? Which event types are most predictive?

Result: Build confidence in using historical correlation data.
