FAQ
What do I get when I join?
PRO DEGENERATE is $7.99 a month: every Pro edition of The Degenerates Journal — Engine Pick deep dives with our charts and analysis, Degen Lens Rankings across Swing, LEAPS, and Position, Position & Swing names with charts and key levels, and the Sunday Pro weekly edition. Ultimate Degen is $14.99 a month: everything in PRO DEGENERATE, plus the members-only Discord community with real-time discussion during market hours. It's the same education for every member. No personal advice and no trade signals.
Is this financial advice?
No. Everything we share is general education and community discussion, the same for every member. Nothing here is a trade call, a signal, or a recommendation to buy, sell, or hold any security, and we don't give personal advice in the chat or in DMs. We may own or trade securities we discuss. Trading involves risk, including loss of money, and past results don't guarantee future results. Talk to a licensed professional before you invest.
Can I get a refund?
No. All sales are final and there are no refunds, including partial or prorated ones, because you get members-only content the moment you join. If you were charged by mistake, like a duplicate charge, reply to any journal email and we'll fix it. Nothing here limits any rights you have under applicable law.
How do I cancel?
PRO DEGENERATE renews automatically every month at $7.99 until you cancel. Cancel any time from the member tools on this page — sign in above and choose Manage subscription. You keep access through the end of the period you've already paid for, and you won't be charged again. Ultimate Degen ($14.99) is billed monthly through Stripe and is cancelled from the member tools on this page. Cancelling doesn't come with a refund.
When do I get access?
Right away. Pay on this site and the Pro shelf opens with the email you used at checkout — sign in above and we email you a 6-digit code and a one-tap link; no password to keep. Ultimate Degen members claim their Discord role after joining.
What's free and what's paid?
The Degenerates Journal (Basic), The Degenerates Journal podcast and calculateddegens.com are free. PRO DEGENERATE and the members chat are paid.
