Q: Use-Case Query for Singapore Residents
Hello SSP, and thank you for this deal!
I reside in Singapore and mostly use TigerTrade as my investment platform of choice because it provides access to foreign markets (e.g. US, Hong Kong, China etc.). As such, I was hoping to understand a little bit more about how SSP works. Does it integrate directly with the broker and make the trades, or does it make recommendations that we execute manually in our broker of choice? My understanding is that it's the latter, which would be ideal for my use-case if that's correct? Also, once we've implemented SSP's recommendations, do we input that data back into SSP so that it can continue to track our investments? Apologies for any confusion. I wasn't able to find more information regarding SSP's implementation so I'd appreciate your clarification.
Thank you for any insight you can provide!

You're absolutely correct in your understanding: SSP is a recommendation and research platform that provides powerful tools, insights, and personalized guidance to help you make informed investing decisions. It does not currently integrate directly with any brokers or execute trades on your behalf. Instead, users execute trades manually through the broker of their choice—just like you're currently doing with TigerTrade.
This approach makes SSP ideal for international investors like yourself, as you’re free to use it alongside any brokerage platform that gives you access to your preferred markets (e.g., U.S., Hong Kong, China, etc.).
Once you've made your trades, you can easily input those positions into SSP’s portfolio section by entering your cost basis (number of shares and purchase price). This allows SSP to continue tracking your investments, calculating real-time performance, providing portfolio insights, and delivering future recommendations that stay aligned with your risk level and goals.
We also offer a Risk Assessment Survey to help tailor recommendations to your investing style, as well as our Northstar Guidance Ratings system to evaluate stocks across fundamental, technical, and financial indicators. You’ll find plenty of helpful tools, including alerts, watchlists, stock screeners, a portfolio assistant, and even our Finley AI investing coach—all designed to support investors like you.
and we’re constantly working to improve SSP with more features and broader international coverage.
