Altimetry’s Hidden Alpha offer is a one-year investment-newsletter subscription advertised at $129, with a 30-day money-back promise on this checkout offer. Before you pay, save the renewal date, because the order form says it renews at $199 plus applicable taxes unless you cancel at least one day before that date.

What is Hidden Alpha and the “Dark Energy” report?
Hidden Alpha is Altimetry’s monthly investment-research subscription. The checkout offer says members receive a new issue each month, 24/7 access to the model portfolio, the digital archive, and bonus reports.
The “Dark Energy” report is presented as a featured report within the welcome bundle. Altimetry says it identifies supplier stocks connected with energy demand and AI infrastructure. That is the seller’s description of the research product, not a promise about any stock’s future price.
Altimetry’s promotion also makes historical-performance statements about named companies and its model portfolio. The company’s own disclosures say newsletter results are an approximation and that a subscriber’s results may be better or worse because entry price, exit price, taxes, and trading differences vary.

How the 30-day Hidden Alpha refund works
The offer says you can receive a full refund if you contact member services within the first 30 days. It gives this customer-service number: 800-701-9346, Monday through Friday, 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Eastern Time. The checkout also lists info@altimetry.com.
- Call 800-701-9346 before day 30.
- Say you want to cancel the Hidden Alpha subscription and request the full refund described in the offer.
- Have the email address and order details used at checkout ready.
- Ask for written confirmation of the cancellation and refund request.
- Save that confirmation and your order receipt.
The offer’s refund promise and the general Terms of Use use different language: the offer promises a full refund within 30 days, while the general terms say fees are nonrefundable and that product-specific terms control if they conflict. For this offer, keep a copy of the checkout page and your confirmation. If you need wording for a request, use this refund request guide.
How to stop the $199 renewal
The checkout says Hidden Alpha renews automatically each year at $199 plus applicable taxes. To avoid that charge, contact Altimetry customer service at 800-701-9346 at least one day before the renewal date. The order form says subscribers receive a renewal reminder.
Put two reminders on your calendar: one 30 days before renewal and one seven days before renewal. When you call, ask the representative to confirm that automatic renewal is off and keep the confirmation.
Is Hidden Alpha a scam or worth the money?
Hidden Alpha is presented as a paid subscription sold through Altimetry’s checkout, with a stated first-year price, renewal terms, customer-service phone number, and a 30-day refund promise for this offer. Whether it is worth $129 is your decision about whether you want recurring stock research, the reports, and the member tools at that price.
A practical way to decide is to treat the first 30 days as your comparison period. Read a monthly issue, inspect how recommendations and updates are presented, and decide whether that format fits how you make investing decisions. If it does not, use the stated refund route before the deadline. For a broader checklist on recurring financial-research subscriptions, see Weiss Ratings Plus questions.
Can you log in after you subscribe?
The offer says members get digital access to Hidden Alpha, the model portfolio, the digital archive, and bonus reports. Use the email address from your purchase when setting up or accessing your account. If you cannot access the member area, contact Altimetry at 800-701-9346 or info@altimetry.com.
If you meant money in your name
A Hidden Alpha refund is requested from Altimetry. For unclaimed money held by a state, use the free state route instead: the NAUPA state search directs you to participating state databases and their claim pages.
If a federally insured credit union where you held an account was liquidated, the NCUA unclaimed-deposits list lets you check listed names and provides its member-verification process. State rules and claim documents differ by state; for example, New York says its state search and claim process are free through the New York unclaimed-funds program.
Before you order
- Confirm the checkout still shows $129 for the first year.
- Save the 30-day refund deadline.
- Save the annual renewal date and the $199 renewal amount.
- Decide whether you want the separate TradeStops newsletters, then save their separate cancellation details.
- Keep the receipt, checkout terms, and any cancellation confirmation.
- If you are comparing recurring offers, review the subscription refund checklist before choosing.
