Using MadStockAlerts
17 articles
A guide to every surface on the platform — Deep Dive, Charting, the Scanner, the Heatmap, Sectors, Corporate Events, Institutional Flows — and the methodology behind what they show.
Foundations
Start here if the subject is new.The Heatmap and the 9-Box
The whole index on one screen, sized by weight and colored by move. It answers breadth questions faster than any list can.
The Market Dashboard
The board that answers what is happening right now: indices, movers, breadth screens, macro, news and the heatmap in one view.
The Watchlist and the Market News Feed
Watchlists define what you follow; the Market News Feed is the wire filtered by it. Together they are the daily surface.
Reading a Premium Alert
What an alert contains, what each part means, and the compliance frame that governs all of it: this is educational analysis, not a recommendation.
Real Time and Delayed on Your Plan
Every member plan runs on real-time data; the public site runs about fifteen minutes behind. This is what the delay affects and what it does not.
Paper Trading: Practicing with Simulated Money
Simulated brokerage portfolios, $100,000 to start: a stock always on screen with its chart, a ticket with market, limit, stop and trailing orders, the positions you hold and the record of every order. Practice at the platform's live quotes with nothing at risk.
Intermediate
Assumes the foundations above.Deep Dive: Reading the Company File
Ten cards covering one company: the filed statements, who owns it, how it trades, and its listing record, under a reviewed Research Report that reads them together. This is the research surface for a single ticker.
Pro Charting: The Professional Workspace
The chart as the whole surface, with drawings, styles, timeframes and saved layouts, and the company's research cards beneath it. The one charting tab on every member plan.
Market Sectors
Performance by sector and industry group, with the members of each. It is relative strength applied across the whole classification.
Corporate Events
What companies actually did, market-wide — results, guidance, launches, regulatory decisions, deals, buybacks, dividends and insider filings — and what the market paid for each of them.
The Premium Scanner
Every way to narrow the market sits in one filter rail: a preset to start from, the filter sections you build with, and MAD Setups. A scan produces a shortlist, never a conclusion.
MAD Setups and the Playbook
The setups we focus on, what each one looks like, and where nightly detection surfaces them. The playbook is the reference; the detection is the sweep.
Advanced
Detail, edge cases and methodology.Deep Dive 2: Ranking the Market
The same data turned outward. Ten cards that rank, screen and search the whole market rather than describing one company.
Institutional Ownership and Flows
Twelve cards on who owns your names, who changed their mind, what they paid and what trades off-exchange now, each with a bullish or bearish read and a link to its source.
How Setup Detection Decides
The methodology behind the nightly sweep: what it measures, why it runs on daily bars after the close, and what it deliberately does not attempt.
How Alert Performance Is Measured
What the performance record counts, how it is calculated, what it is measured against, and the reasons any published record has to be read with the methodology beside it.
Scenario Analysis: Building the Forecast
A forecasting workbench for one company: fifty-seven assumptions, a projected statement and cash flow, and three valuations of the result. Every number on it is a consequence of what you entered.
