Straight answers about the product as it ships today. For the longer pitch, see About.
What is IQBulls?
IQBulls is a free market workspace. Home connects your companies to sourced reporting and briefing visuals; Pulse covers the full market tape; Portfolio holds your book and watchlist; Crowd covers campus picks and standings; News briefs the market.
What is Pulse?
Pulse is the full public markets workspace on the tab bar (also linked from Home). Use the Markets / Movers / Crypto / Intl slicer. Markets opens with VIX and 10Y gauges, Major Indexes, Commodities, and US Sectors. Movers, Crypto, and Intl each swap in their board without leaving Pulse. Personal holdings stay on Portfolio.
How is Watchlist different from Portfolio?
Both are managed on the Portfolio tab. Home briefs the companies you own and follow; Watchlist shows their movers. Live Portfolio is the book you own — value, today’s move, sector mix, and concentration. Use the Live / Watchlist / Study slicer to switch. Edit either from Manage.
What is Study Mode on Portfolio?
Study Mode shows sample allocation templates (like Three-Fund or 60/40) with design briefs and target weights so you can compare ideas against your live book. It is educational, not a trade.
Where does the market data come from?
Live quotes and charts come from public market feeds (including Yahoo Finance). Catalyst news uses public RSS and related sources. Some panels can be empty when a source is delayed or blocked.
Do I need an account?
No. You can use IQBulls as a guest — watchlist and portfolio stay in your browser. Sign in with Google if you want the same lists synced across devices.
Is IQBulls investment advice?
No. IQBulls is a research and organization tool, not a brokerage or adviser. Quotes, briefs, and portfolio fit are informational. You are responsible for your own decisions.
What is Crowd?
Crowd is campus head-to-head, community standings, and your My Pick — equal-weight returns on a $100,000 book per player. It is competitive fun, not advice, and it never shows who owns what.
