How every one of those alerts was made
Machine finds it, a person decides, then it sendsOur detection engine sweeps the entire market
Not a watchlist and not a feeling. Our engine rebuilds every US ticker's daily history after each close and runs sixteen setup detectors across all of it — each one gated on market structure, the prior trend, the depth of the pattern, the volume behind it and a real break of the level, not a one-cent poke through it. Detectors we tested over eight years of data and could not tell apart from the market's own base rate were deleted rather than shipped. Nobody can watch nine thousand tickers. This part is built so nobody has to.
A human analyst reviews every single one
Nothing publishes itself. An analyst pulls the chart, reads the catalyst and the context no scanner can see, and throws most of them out — the majority of what the engine surfaces never becomes an alert. A setup that scores well and still looks wrong does not go out. That judgement is the part of this you cannot automate, and it is why the record above exists at all.
It sends only once it clears our setup criteria
A candidate that has passed both the engine and the analyst is measured against our published setup criteria one last time, and only then is it written up — the entry, the stop concept, the target zone, the catalyst and the time horizon — and sent to members the moment it publishes. Then it goes on the record above whether it works or not, which is the only version of a track record worth reading. Free readers see it there after it closes; members had it at the start.
A setup meeting our criteria is educational analysis of what a chart is doing. It is never a recommendation to buy or sell, and it is never a prediction — past performance does not guarantee future results.

Same chart, two different jobs
Drag the line you have been standing behind
Left is the chart everybody gets. Right is the same chart with the work done on it. Nothing about the stock changed — only how much of it you can act on.
Free view
It went up. That is the whole story a free chart tells — and it tells it afterwards.
Member view
Breakout, retest held, volume confirming. Stop under the retest low, first target at the measured move — 2.7 : 1 before you risk a dollar.
Drag the handle (or use the arrow keys). Illustrative sample — the levels are what the platform draws, the prices are not a live quote.
Screen by screen
Everything behind the login, and what it costs you to stay out
Illustrative replicas of the real member screens. The live surfaces stay locked — an open call is the product. The archived ones are shown in full, because a setup that closed in March cannot hurt anyone.
Everything in the membership

Free sees the trade after it is over. Members get it while it is live.
Same alert, different moment. You read it in the closed record months later; a member read it when the entry was still in front of them.
Every premium alert states the entry, the stop concept, the target zone, the catalyst and the time horizon, with the chart context that produced it — approved by an analyst before it sends. Members get all of that the moment it publishes, while the levels are still ahead of the price. Free gets the same alert eventually, in the public record at /performance, after it has closed and there is nothing left to act on. The archived one below is shown in full for exactly that reason. The one under it is live right now, and it is not.
What you're missing: the open positions. You can read our closed record any time — but a trade that already finished is history. The alerts running right now, with the levels still in front of them, are members-only, and they are the entire point.
It finds you, not the other way round

Free scans a delayed market with the basic filters. Members scan the live one with all of them.
Fifteen minutes is not a rounding error. On a name that is moving, fifteen minutes is the whole move.
The free scanner is no stripped-down demo — every preset and the whole profile, fundamental and technical filter set are the real ones, RSI, moving averages and the 52-week range included, and we would rather you used them. Two things separate it from what a member runs. It reads a feed about fifteen minutes behind the market, where a member's is live. And the MAD Setups filter, scanning the entire market for a named chart setup, is the single most powerful control on the screen: it comes with Stock Alerts + Tools and Premium Membership, while the one-tap watchlist star on every row and rows that open into the full Chart Analyzer with Pattern watch come with the tools.
What you're missing: the fifteen minutes and the setup filter. Every free surface here is honest about running behind, because a delayed price is worth having and worth saying so. But you cannot react to a breakout you found at 10:15 that happened at 10:00 — and without the setup filter you are sorting a market by percentage change, while a member is asking it which names are forming a cup and handle right now.
Build the screen once, keep it forever
Name a view, pick the columns you actually read, and it is there next time on any device. Export the result set to CSV, or have a saved scan email you what it found after the close.
And the playbook is free, so you know what you are looking for
Every setup we hunt, broken down on an annotated chart at /setups — open to anyone, no account. Membership is the part where the market gets scanned for them and something tells you.

Unlock pattern watchSixteen setups, detected across the whole market, named on your chart
The same engine that finds our alert candidates runs on the ticker you are reading — and tells members what it found.
One detection engine powers all of it. After each close it rebuilds the daily history of the entire US market and tests every name against sixteen setups — cup and handle, bull and bear flags, double and multiple tops and bottoms, head and shoulders, ascending and descending triangles, 52-week breakouts, held gap-ups, higher-lows trends, golden and death crosses. Each one has to clear five gates before it counts: real swing structure from a volatility-scaled zigzag rather than a three-bar wiggle, a prior trend for a reversal to actually reverse, enough depth to matter as a percentage of price, the classical volume signature, and a break that clears the level by a margin scaled to the stock's own ATR. Anything that cannot clear all five returns nothing, and a quiet chart returning nothing is the most common answer we give. Members get that read three ways: named on the chart in Pattern watch with the level it triggers at, as a whole-market filter in the scanner, and as the first pass that produces the high-confidence candidates an analyst then reviews for a premium alert.
What you're missing: the detection, everywhere it appears. The Chart Analyzer itself is free and complete — quote card, interactive chart, time and sales, overview, news and filings are the exact components members use. What is held back is the engine's output: free, you see a shape and decide alone whether it means anything; inside, the setup is named, the trigger is a number, the whole market is searchable by it, and any alert we have on the name is drawn right on the chart.
Your levels, your layouts
Saved layouts, intraday intervals and price alerts need an account.
Unlock the workbenchA real charting workbench, with our levels already on it
Eight styles, fourteen intervals, 36 indicators and sixty-four drawing tools — and it remembers how you left it.
The chart is not a picture of a price, it is where the work happens, so it is built like a workbench. Candles, Heikin Ashi, bars, lines and four more; one minute to yearly; moving averages, bands, momentum, trend and volume indicators; Fibonacci, pitchforks, Gann and position-sizing tools on a rail beside the candles rather than a menu three clicks away. A log axis for anything that has actually compounded. Then the parts that only exist once you are signed in: your indicators, style and drawings saved as a named layout on your account instead of in one browser, our alert levels drawn on any name we have called, and your OWN price levels — set a line, and the platform watches it for you and tells you when price gets there.
What you're missing: the memory and the levels. The chart tool itself is free and genuinely good — four intervals, the quote card, the tape, the profile and the news are all open to you right now. What you do not get is a layout that survives a reload, the ten intraday intervals, our entry, stop and target drawn on the chart you are reading, or a price alert of your own that fires while you are somewhere else.
The desk view
Breadth, rotation, the setups rail and tagged news are member-only.
Unlock the dashboardOr build your own
Drag the widgets you use into the layout you want. It is saved to your account.
Make it yoursYour first ten minutes, already done
Breadth, rotation, the movers, the setups forming and the news attached to them — on one screen, before the open.
The free Markets page already gives you the indexes, the day's movers, the heatmap, the headlines and the economic calendar. The members version adds the parts that turn a scoreboard into a read: per-index breadth, so you know whether the tape agrees with the headline, the setups rail showing what is forming right now, and the news filtered to the names on your own watchlist.
What you're missing: breadth and the setups rail. The free page tells you the S&P finished up half a percent. It cannot tell you that only four in ten names went up with it, which is the part that changes what you do next.
Your personal customizable watchlist with premium features
Your names, your columns, your order — and it keeps watching the list while you are doing something else.
Build the table around how you actually trade. Pick up to ten columns from price, % and $ change, daily and average volume, the day's high and low, the 52-week high and low, market cap, float, shares outstanding, P/E, EPS and the next earnings date, put them in the order you read them, sort by any of them, and it is saved to your account for next time. Every row carries live quotes and the note saying why the name is on the list, so a watchlist stays a set of reasons rather than a pile of tickers. Then it works while you are not looking: a notification when one of them does the thing you were waiting for, and the desk's own daily and weekly watchlists sitting alongside yours.
What you're missing: all of it. Without an account there is no saved list, no columns to choose, no live quotes on them, and nothing that reaches you when a level breaks at 10:42 on a Tuesday while you are in a meeting.
The whole wire, and then only the part about your names
One button turns a market-wide firehose into a feed about the eleven tickers you actually own.
The free News board is the real thing and it stays open: the full market wire from Business Wire, PR Newswire, GlobeNewswire, Reuters and the rest, searchable, with the macro calendar beside it and the movers under it. What a member gets is scope. “My Watchlist Only” narrows every ticker-tied surface on the page — the wire and the movers — to the names on your own list, while the macro column deliberately stays whole, because a CPI print does not belong to a ticker and filtering it to a watchlist would filter it to nothing. Under that, the same desk runs on the real-time feed rather than the delayed one, and every ticker in it opens straight into Premium Charting.
What you're missing: the filter, and the fifteen minutes. Reading the whole market's news to find the two stories about your positions is a tax you pay every morning — and a headline you read a quarter of an hour after the desk did is a headline the tape has already answered.
The whole event board
Earnings, guidance, FDA, M&A, buybacks and Form 4s are member-only.
See the boardWhat companies actually did, market-wide
Earnings and the moves that followed them, guidance revisions, launches, FDA decisions, deals, buybacks, dividends and insider filings, on one board.
Most of what moves a name is not on its chart. This is the board of what companies did: who beat and who missed and what the stock did after, who raised or cut guidance, what launched, which FDA decisions have landed and which are still ahead, what was bought and by whom, who is buying back stock, who changed a dividend, and which insiders filed a Form 4 this week. Every headline links out to the filing or release it was read from, so the primary source is one click away rather than somebody's summary of it, and every ticker opens straight into Premium Charting.
What you're missing: the whole board. Free gets the market's news stream, which tells you what was written. This tells you what was FILED, ranked and grouped, with the catalysts that have not happened yet flagged before they do.
Follow the institutional money
13F holders, position changes and fund flows are member-only.
See who owns itWho owns it, who bought more, and who left
The quarterly 13F sweep, plus the creation and redemption flows underneath the passive bid.
The institutions have to tell you what they did, one quarter in arrears, and almost nobody reads it. This puts it on the same screen as the chart: the top holders of a name, the biggest position changes quarter on quarter, hedge fund activity separated from the index money, ETF and mutual fund ownership, and the creation and redemption flows that move a stock for reasons that have nothing to do with the company. It is the answer to “who is actually behind this move”, and it is the one question a chart cannot answer.
What you're missing: all of it. Ownership and fund flow data is normally sold as its own subscription, priced for institutions rather than for you, and there is no free version of it here.
What is open right now
The closed record is free. The live positions are members-only.
See the open bookEvery closed alert is public. What is running right now is not.
You can audit us before you pay us — that is the point of publishing the losers. Then the open book is the thing you are buying.
The whole closed record is at /performance, ungated, in full: every premium alert we have closed, measured from the entry we stated to the price we exited at, with the losers left in and the win rate computed by the same calculator members read. Nothing is curated out of it and nothing is rounded in our favour. Inside, that same record is joined by the half a track record cannot show you: the positions that are still open, with the ticker, the entry, the stop and the target while the levels are still ahead of the price, plus the peak-since-alert on each one and the desk's own notes as it manages them.
What you're missing: the open book. History is the evidence that the process works, and we give it away precisely because it is evidence. But an alert you can read the outcome of is an alert you could not act on — the ones still running are the ones membership actually buys.
Live colours, and a click into the workbench
The pages are free. Real-time tiles and Premium Charting routing are not.
Go real-timeWhere the money actually went — today, and this quarter
Nine thousand names is not a market you can read. Eleven sectors, ranked, is.
The treemap sizes every name by its weight in the index and colours it by its move over the window you pick, so one screen answers whether a green day was the whole market or four mega-caps carrying it. Under it, the sector and industry board rolls the entire US market up by sector, industry, size and country, from one day to one year, with cap-weighted valuations and the rotation cycle diagram that says which part of the cycle those moves belong to. Click any row for the companies inside it. Both pages are free and both stay free — inside, they run on the live feed instead of the delayed one, every tile opens into Premium Charting rather than the basic chart, and the signup furniture is gone.
What you're missing: the fifteen minutes, and where a tile takes you. This is the one section of the tour where we are not holding much back, and we would rather say so than invent a line: go and use them. What changes inside is that the colours are current and a click lands you on the workbench with your levels on it, not on a read-only chart.
And the rest of the desk
Free gets you a good look. Membership wires it together.
Some of this is already open to you and stays open. We would rather point at the line honestly than pretend it sits further out than it does.
Mentions on your charts
Where the names we have called out publicly sit on the chart you are reading, marked at the price of the post rather than quoted after the fact.

Alert channels, watchlists, Q&A and members talking through setups in real time. Nobody trades well alone.
Works on your phone
Every surface is laid out for a phone screen as well as a desk, the scanner and the chart included, so nothing about the platform waits until you are back at a computer.
Insider filings, market-wide
The latest Form 4s are on the free market board. Inside, the whole feed — who bought, who sold, at what price, on the same screen as the chart.
Nothing you set up is lost
Saved scans, saved chart layouts, watchlists, column choices and your dashboard arrangement all live on your account, not in one browser on one machine.
The economic calendar
What just moved the tape and what is about to — releases with their period labels attached, so a July print is never printed under June's number.
The next alert goes out whether you are in or not.
Stock Alerts + Tools is $149 a month, or $1,299 a year ($108.25 a month). Premium Membership adds every tool for $199 a month. Every alert is educational analysis, never a recommendation.

Straight answers
The questions you were about to ask
Is this just another alert channel?
No, and the difference is the part you can check. An alert channel posts a ticker. A premium alert here carries the entry, the stop concept, the target zone, the catalyst, the time horizon and the chart context — and a human analyst approves it before it sends. Then it goes on the record whether it works or not.
Why should I trust the track record?
Because it is published ungated, before you pay anything. The premium-alert record at /performance is every alert we have closed, in full. Beside it is every ticker we have called out publicly in the last 30 days, with its peak, where it stands now, and its outcome. The losers stay on both lists. Read them first, then decide.
What do I actually get without paying?
More than most sites give away, and we would rather you checked than took our word for it: the full scanner with every preset and filter, charts on any ticker with the quote card and time and sales, the Market Dashboard, the heatmap, groups, insider filings, market news, the setups playbook, and the public track record — every premium alert we have closed, plus the public mentions from the last 30 days. All of it runs about fifteen minutes behind the market. Membership removes the delay and adds the alerts.
I already use FinViz and TradingView. What changes?
Those are excellent tools that hand you a blank canvas. This is the canvas plus the read: the scan, the chart, the news and the alert live in one tab, and something reaches you when a level you care about breaks instead of waiting for you to go looking.
What does membership cost?
Three products, one price each. Analysis Tools Only is $99 a month or $999 a year. Stock Alerts + Tools is $149 a month or $1,299 a year. Premium Membership, which is both, is $199 a month or $1,499 a year ($124.92 a month), and 100 founding lifetime seats are $2,999 once. Pay by card, Apple Pay, Google Pay, Link, Cash App Pay or Amazon Pay through Stripe. Every price is on the pricing page.
Is any of this financial advice?
No. Everything on the platform is educational market analysis and is never a recommendation to buy or sell any security. You make your own decisions, and past performance does not guarantee future results.
You have seen the outside.
Come see the whole thing.
One account, every screen on this page, nothing held back inside. Three plans from $99 a month, and the record that convinced you is the same one we will be judged on next quarter.
