About
AskEdgar turns unstructured SEC filings into filing-driven research intelligence. The product is built for teams and traders who cannot wait days for cleaned summaries — it monitors EDGAR in real time, extracts strategy-relevant details from footnotes, exhibits, and narrative sections, and delivers alerts when material conditions change.
AskEdgar markets itself to hedge funds, prop firms, banks, and serious retail researchers who treat filings as a primary edge. That is especially true in small- and mid-cap names, where an S-1, 8-K, ATM update, reverse split, Nasdaq deficiency notice, or convertible financing term can rewrite overnight risk before a headline ever hits a scanner.
Beyond keyword watching, the platform positions dilution intelligence, custom extraction, and API/dataset delivery as first-class workflows. The practical idea is simple: scanners find candidates; filings decide whether you hold, fade, or skip. AskEdgar compresses the reading that used to take hours into structured alerts and research answers grounded in the filing text.
For small-cap desks, the expensive mistake is often not missing a chart pattern — it is holding into an overnight financing surprise, reverse-split clock, or toxic convertible structure that was disclosed hours earlier in an exhibit nobody read. AskEdgar is built to shrink that gap between disclosure and decision.
Key features
- Real-time filing extraction and alerts when material disclosures hit EDGAR
- Dilution intelligence around offerings, ATMs, PIPEs, shelves, warrants, convertibles, and toxic term language
- Compliance and survival risk monitoring such as deficiency notices, delisting risk, cash-runway stress, and going-concern language
- Catalyst detection for licensing deals, restructurings, management changes, and other tradeable disclosure events
- Custom AI research that answers questions from filing text with source context
- Proprietary datasets and API access for screens, Excel/CSV export, and internal tooling
- Strategy-specific workflows so desks can filter for the signals they actually trade
Plans/pricing
AskEdgar advertises a free trial on its site. Public dollar pricing is not posted as a simple self-serve matrix on the homepage — packages can vary by team size and workflow. Confirm the live plan names, trial terms, and checkout total during signup. SaveOnTrading’s partner offer is a verified percentage discount when you start from our link and apply the code.
Who it's for
Active traders, prop desks, and research teams who already care about catalysts and share structure — especially small-cap long/short and event-driven workflows. A common loop: a scanner surfaces a mover, AskEdgar clears or vetoes overnight hold risk based on offering language, reverse-split clocks, or financing terms buried in exhibits.
It is less useful if you never read filings and only want chart patterns or Level 2 tape. AskEdgar is a filings intelligence layer, not a full multi-asset terminal.
Limitations
AskEdgar does not replace a Bloomberg Terminal, charting platform, or broker. Coverage and extraction quality depend on what companies disclose and how they disclose it — messy filings still require judgment. Alerts accelerate research; they are not personalized trade recommendations. Pair AskEdgar with your scanner and execution stack rather than expecting one tool to do every job.
Ask Edgar vs Dilution Tracker
Use Ask Edgar for broad EDGAR alerting and filing intelligence. For a specialist small-cap dilution database (shelf capacity, offering probability, ATM/warrant structure), see Dilution Tracker. A separate product, DiluTracker, also covers dilution with its own SaveOnTrading offer — check the domain so you do not buy the wrong tool.
