TreasureXFrequently Asked Questions
Straight answers about DCF valuation, Reverse DCF, and how TreasureX works — no jargon, no sales pitch.
What is a DCF (discounted cash flow) valuation?
A DCF estimates what a company is worth by projecting its future cash flows and discounting them back to today's money at a required rate of return (WACC). The result is only as good as the assumptions behind it, so TreasureX lets you set growth, margin and discount rate yourself and shows the value those assumptions imply next to today's price, with a bull/base/bear range.
What is a Reverse DCF and how is it different from a regular DCF?
A regular DCF starts with your growth assumptions and outputs a value. A Reverse DCF works backwards: it starts with today's market price and solves for the growth rate that price already assumes. You can then put that number beside what the company has actually delivered and decide for yourself whether it looks plausible.
Is TreasureX free to use?
The core tools are free: the DCF and Reverse DCF calculators, the stock pages, paper trading with $100,000 in virtual cash, and the community feed. TreasureX Pro (฿79 a month or ฿790 a year) adds ongoing tracking — thesis checks against new filings, earnings report cards, the macro backdrop score and alerts.
What is the Piotroski F-Score?
The Piotroski F-Score is a 9-point checklist of profitability, leverage/liquidity and operating-efficiency trends, built from public filings. Each point is a simple pass or fail, so the score describes which of those trends improved or worsened year over year. TreasureX computes it for US-listed stocks from their reported financial history.
Can I practice investing without using real money?
Yes. TreasureX includes a paper-trading simulator that starts you with $100,000 in virtual cash. You can buy and sell at live prices, record why you made each trade, and look back later at how your reasons played out — with no real money at risk.
How does TreasureX know when my investment thesis breaks?
When you track a thesis, you write it as specific, checkable conditions — a revenue growth line, a margin floor, a milestone with a deadline. TreasureX re-checks them against each new filing and tells you which ones no longer hold, and what that would do to your own DCF. What to do about it is always your call.
Does TreasureX give investment advice or stock recommendations?
No. TreasureX is an educational calculation and tracking tool. Every value shown is computed from assumptions you provide or from public financial data. It is not investment advice, and TreasureX does not recommend buying or selling any security. Always do your own research.
