FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
What is X'ALAER Global Trade Intelligence?
X'ALAER is India's institutional-grade global trade intelligence platform — delivering real-time risk signals, commodity market alerts, and geopolitical intelligence tailored for Indian exporters, commodity desks, and institutional research teams. Trusted by traders who need actionable intelligence before markets move.
How does X'ALAER cover the Hormuz and Red Sea crisis?
X'ALAER maintains a live Hormuz Chokepoint Risk Index — updated continuously — tracking naval presence, vessel transit data, tanker insurance status, and Cape of Good Hope rerouting costs. Our risk scoring covers all major global chokepoints: Hormuz, Red Sea/Bab-el-Mandeb, Suez, Malacca, and Panama — giving Indian exporters the earliest possible warning on route disruptions and freight cost spikes.
What commodity signals does X'ALAER cover?
X'ALAER covers COMEX Gold, COMEX Silver, Silver physical vs paper spread, MCX Gold (₹/10g), MCX Silver (₹/kg), Copper ($/lb), Brent Crude ($/bbl), USD/INR, EUR/INR, and Shipping Cost Index ($/TEU) — all cross-referenced with live geopolitical signals. You see price context, not just price feeds.
What level of intelligence does X'ALAER provide?
X'ALAER aggregates institutional-grade intelligence — the kind used by defence analysts, sovereign risk desks, and commodity funds — and delivers it in a format built for Indian traders and exporters. Our coverage spans war and conflict, maritime disruptions, sanctions, supply chain stress, geopolitical risk, and commodity market signals — giving you NATO-level situational awareness applied to Indian trade.
How does X'ALAER differ from financial news?
Financial news reports on events after they move markets. X'ALAER surfaces intelligence signals before events reach mainstream news — giving you 12 to 48 hours of lead time on chokepoint stress, sanctions escalation, conflict breakouts, and commodity squeeze patterns. We are a signal platform, not a news aggregator.
Is X'ALAER a SEBI-registered investment advisor?
No. X'ALAER Intelligence is not a SEBI-registered investment advisor. All intelligence briefings and signals are for informational and situational awareness purposes only — they do not constitute investment, financial, or trading advice. All reports include mandatory SEBI disclaimers. For investment decisions, consult a SEBI-registered advisor. SEBI Investor Helpline: 1800-22-7575.
Can I use X'ALAER on mobile and tablet?
Yes. X'ALAER is fully optimised for mobile, tablet, and desktop. Live price strips, signal tickers, intelligence briefings, risk maps, and commodity dashboards all work seamlessly on any modern browser — no app download required. Access the full platform at xalaer.com from any device, any time.
What is included in the X'ALAER Signal plan at ₹2,999/month?
The Signal plan delivers: live intelligence signal feed, Hormuz and Red Sea real-time risk index, COMEX and MCX commodity alerts (Gold, Silver, Crude, Copper), daily intelligence briefings, chokepoint risk tracker, and trade route status. Ideal for individual commodity traders and small Indian export businesses who need market-moving intelligence before it breaks in the news.
What does the X'ALAER Atlas plan offer institutional desks?
The Atlas plan at ₹18,999/month is built for institutional desks — commodity research teams, export houses, and trading firms. It includes everything in Signal and Meridian, plus: full intelligence coverage across all major risk domains, 30-day and 45-day commodity price projections, Silver physical/paper spread analysis, Shipping Cost Index tracking, USD/INR and MCX Gold trajectory charts, API access, and priority alerts.
