Your whole market on one screen

The page members open first. Market breadth for all four indexes, the signals firing across every US ticker, and a live tape of what just happened to the names you follow.

  1. 1Market Pulse: breadth, new highs and lows, and the share above the 50-day for the S&P 500, Nasdaq 100, Dow and Russell 2000
  2. 2Signals and Patterns: breakouts, volume leaders, overbought, oversold and gap ups, microcaps included
  3. 3Your Live Tape: new highs and new lows on your own watchlist as they print

Screens captured from the live platform in September 2026; figures move with the market. Which plan includes each tab is in the comparison below. Educational analysis, not financial advice.

How every one of those alerts was made

Machine finds it, a person decides, then it sends
Step 01

Our 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.

Step 02
ChartLevelRisk

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 decides whether it is sent. A setup that scores well and still looks wrong does not go out. That judgment is the part of this you cannot automate, and it is why the record above exists at all.

Step 03
TARGETENTRYSTOP

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.

The Stock Alerts tab as a Premium member opens it. The open alerts are blurred here; a member reads every level.

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 in the slideshow is shown in full for exactly that reason. The live one beside it keeps its levels masked, because those are what a member is paying for.

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.

02Real time

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.

Gap-and-go

Holds the gap and trends from it

The real Stock Scanner with its preset rail open and today's top gainers streaming into the results table.

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 15 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, and so do the setups Pattern watch names on the chart. The one-tap watchlist star on every row and rows that open into Pro Charting come with every plan.

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.

03Stock Pattern & Set-up Detection

  • Prior trendA reversal needs something to reverse
  • DepthBig enough to matter as a share of price
  • VolumeThe classical volume signature
  • BreakClears the level by an ATR-scaled margin
Fail one gate and the engine returns nothing at all

The Setups board as a member sees it: every detected setup scored, with its pattern, the session chart and the move.

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 free chart is a real one — the quote card, an interactive chart, the tape, the company profile and the news are all open to you right now. 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.

Pro Charting as a member opens it: real-time candles, the stats rail and the dock watchlist on one screen.

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 Market Dashboard mid-session: 52-week highs and lows, the 9-Box, volume leaders, gap ups and the economic wire.

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.

Glance at your list without leaving the page you are on

A member's watchlist live: prices to the second, and a one-line reason under every name that gapped.

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 Market News Feed at midday: the brief, the indexes and sectors, your own names and today's calendar.

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 Pro 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.

Corporate Events as a member sees it: the week's counts, the biggest reactions and the fortnight in pictures.

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 Pro 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.

Hedge funds separated from the index money

Institutional Ownership on a member's watchlist: who bought and sold, where they paid, and one gauge for the pressure.

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.

Company Deep-Dive for one ticker: the profile, revenue and earnings, and the filed statements.

Type a ticker and the page reads the company from its own filings: the income statement, balance sheet and cash flow across the years it has reported, set out the way an accountant would set them out, with restatements and amendments carried. Around that sit the institutions that own it, the listed options board, the settled short position next to the daily short volume, how much of its trading happens off-exchange, and where it ranks against every other filer on growth and margins. It is the research you would otherwise assemble from five tabs and a filing index.

What you're missing: all of it, and not only for free visitors. Company Deep-Dive is one of two surfaces that only Premium Membership includes: the Tools and Alerts plans do not get it at any speed.

Decades of the series, beside the filings that happened in them

Market Deep-Dive as a member opens it: Squeeze Radar, growth and margin leaders, and filing text search.

Where Company Deep-Dive goes deep on one name, this tab goes wide across all of them. It ranks every SEC filer on the figures they reported, so the fastest growers and the widest margins in the market are one sort away. It searches the full text of filings, so you can find every company that mentioned a phrase in its last annual report. And it screens the OTC universe, the part of the market most platforms leave out, beside daily short volume, 13F holdings rolled up across every ticker, and the economic series those filings happen in.

What you're missing: all of it. Like Company Deep-Dive, this tab is in Premium Membership only. Neither the Tools plan nor the Alerts plan includes it.

12The record

Every 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.

Underwater

The whole record as one portfolio, drawdown and all

The record a member sees: every closed alert measured from the stated entry, with filters to question it. Past performance does not guarantee future results.

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 favor. 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.

Where today's leaders sit in the cycle

The real heatmap: sector rotation across the top, then every S&P 500 name sized by market cap and colored by the day.

The treemap sizes every name by its weight in the index and colors 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 Pro 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 colors are current and a click lands you on the workbench with your levels on it, not on a read-only chart.

The History card files every order, deposit and cash out

Paper Trading as a member opens it: the account value, a preset scan, and a live chart beside the trade ticket.

Paper Trading is one simple simulated brokerage account per member, laid out the way a retail trading app is: the account value with its line over the period you pick, buying power, what is invested and the total return. Pick a stock and its chart, quote and your position sit beside the ticket, where you choose the side, the order type, the time in force and the size, then review it before it is placed. Every holding is tracked with its cost, today's move and its total return, and the history files every order, deposit and cash out. It is where a setup you read about in MAD Academy can be tried without a dollar of your own on it.

What you're missing: all of it. Paper Trading is in Premium Membership, and only there: no other plan includes it, and there is no free version of it on the open site.

Every tab, and the method behind what it shows

The MAD Academy home a member opens: lesson progress, the Start Here lessons and the set-up charts.

MAD Academy runs from what a stock is to reading an SEC filing, as a course rather than a pile of articles: every subject is a set of lessons, a lesson is finished by watching its video or reading it, and each subject earns bronze, silver or gold. The twenty-four trading set-ups we hunt each have a lesson of their own, with where the setup completes and how it fails. And one subject is about us: the platform guides, which explain what every card on every tab is computed from, so a member is never guessing what a number means.

What you're missing: the videos, the platform guides and your progress. The lessons themselves are open to everyone at /academy, and we would rather you read them. What the open site does not carry is the full video library (six set-up videos are free), the guides to the member tabs, or a record of how far you have got. Every lesson and video comes with every plan.

The MCP Connector page: one URL to paste, then step-by-step setup for ChatGPT, Claude and Claude Code.

The MCP Connector brings the platform into ChatGPT, Claude and Claude Code. Your AI gets a set of research tools grouped by the question you are asking: one stock at a time, finding something to look at, your watchlists, our alerts, the market as a whole, what is scheduled, filings and flows, and Paper Trading. Ask about a ticker and it pulls the quote, the technicals, the fundamentals and our setups on it in one call, rather than guessing from whatever it read last year. It connects through OAuth, so there is no key to copy, and you can disconnect it from your Account page whenever you like.

What you're missing: the connection. How it works is public at /developers, but the connector itself asks for a plan when you approve it, and it comes with Analysis Tools Only, Stock Alerts + Tools and Premium Membership. Your AI only ever sees what your plan sees on the site.

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.

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.

By the numbers

The next alert goes out whether you are in or not.

How we compare

Everything they sell separately, in one membership

One subscription charts, another screens, a third carries the news, and each is excellent at its part. Ours is the column that runs the length of the table: a scanner and nightly pattern sweep, the company research, a person reviewing every alert, and every closed call on the public record. The last two rows show where others lead today.

Where a vendor's material was inconclusive, we mark the capability limited rather than score it either way.

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 15 minutes behind the market. Membership removes the delay and adds the alerts.

I already pay for a screener and a charting site. 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?

Four products, one price each. MAD Academy is $39 a month or $279 a year. Analysis Tools Only is $69 a month or $599 a year. Stock Alerts + Tools is $119 a month or $899 a year. Premium Membership, which is both, is $149 a month or $1,099 a year ($91.58 a month). Try Premium Membership free for 5 days. Card required. After 5 days it is $149 per month or $1,099 per year until you cancel. First-time members only. Pay by card, Apple Pay, Google Pay, Link, Cash App Pay or Amazon Pay through Stripe. Every price is on the pricing page.

What happens on day 5?

When the 5 days end, on the date shown at checkout, in your confirmation email and on your account page, your card is charged the price of the term you picked, $149 per month or $1,099 per year, unless you cancel before then. It then renews at that price until you cancel.

How do I cancel?

On your account page, choose Cancel plan and confirm. Cancel from your account page before the trial ends and you are not charged. Your access runs to the end of the trial either way. You can also email mad@madstockalerts.com, at least 3 days before the trial ends, since an emailed request is handled by hand. After the trial, access runs to the end of the period you have paid for.

Will you remind me?

Yes. We email you a reminder about 3 days before the trial ends, before anything is charged.

What if I forget?

Cancel from your account page as soon as you notice. Within 30 days of your first charge, our 30-day money-back guarantee refunds it, less the non-refundable payment processing fees on that charge; the terms are in the Refund and Cancellation Policy. Renewals are not refundable.

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. Plans from $39 a month, and the record that convinced you is the same one we will be judged on next quarter.

The member screens on this page are illustrative replicas built from the platform's own components. Except where a surface is labeled archived, the prices, tickers and alerts in them are placeholder sample data — not live quotes and not real alerts. The only live figures here are the two track records at the top, published in full at /performance.
