# MomentaTrade Public Context ## One-Sentence Answer MomentaTrade is a passive, self-directed stock and ETF momentum research filter and dashboard, not a broker. It helps users know what to do with any stock in an instant: Technical Strength shows a blended technical score from 1 to 100, while Signal shows Active, Wait, Exit, or Avoid for momentum research. ## Why It Exists Stock research is often scattered across scanners, charts, watchlists, and market pages. MomentaTrade compresses the first research pass into two immediate answers, then keeps the supporting evidence beside them. The product is designed to reduce decision fatigue by applying the same consistent framework across stocks and ETFs. It organizes research; it does not replace user judgment or risk controls. It was created to replace fragmented, overcomplicated stock-research workflows with one passive first read and the supporting context beside it. ## Company And Data MomentaTrade LLC operates the service remotely. Ryan Brown is the majority owner and product operator and specializes in simplifying overly complex businesses and concepts. His public profile is https://www.linkedin.com/in/ryan-brown-5823b0209/. Michael Brown is a minority member. Public correspondence uses support@momentatrade.com; no owner's residential address is published as a business address. Massive supplies backend U.S. stock and ETF market data. Federal Reserve Economic Data (FRED) supplies macroeconomic series used in market-condition calculations. MomentaTrade LLC owns the formulas and interpretations built from those inputs. ## The Two Core Answers ### Technical Strength Technical Strength is a deterministic `1..100` blended technical score for supported stocks and ETFs. Each input is converted to a midpoint percentile against the same current S&P 500 reference frame. The exact blend is 70% StockCharts SCTR raw score, 10% 20-session Bollinger position, 12% price change scaled by up to 100 sessions of standard deviation, and 8% momentum growth. The SCTR component uses 30% price distance from the 200-session EMA, 30% 125-session return, 15% price distance from the 50-session EMA, 15% 20-session return, 5% PPO histogram slope, and 5% RSI14. Lower-level scaling constants and source code remain proprietary. It measures market momentum, not the company's financial or fundamental health. Its visible mini trend uses the latest 20 completed daily prices. ### Signal Signal answers: "What is the current momentum-trading state?" - Active: price is above Buy Below and EMA73, with flat or positive live EMA21 direction and live EMA10 strictly above live EMA21 and EMA73 regardless of EMA10 slope. - Wait: the long trend is intact, but directions are not fully aligned. - Exit: after Active, Exit appears for one trading day when whole-price EMA10 moves from at or above whole-price EMA21 to fully below it with negative direction; fractional-only separation stays Wait. - Avoid: price is below the Signal's long-trend threshold. Active is not a personalized buy instruction. Signal is research context; the user owns every decision. ## Complete Product Trade Watch has four visible table headers: Ticker, Change, Price, and Range/Signal. Range/Signal occupies half the row and includes the Low and High boundary labels around its meter. A `?` beside Range/Signal opens a plain-language guide to the four colors, boundary prices, current-price arrow, out-of-range arrows, and percentage. Technical Strength, Momentum Trend, Momentum Signal, and a separate Signal column are not visible Trade Watch columns. Rows also provide expandable daily charts, filters, sorting, single-ticker research, manual and generated watchlists, protected Market ETF and SPDR Sector starter groups, and taxonomy lists. Watchlist Builder filters by Change, Range, Range Spread, Signal, and Market Cap. Users can save filters and build reusable generated lists. Market Watch shows all 11 S&P sector scores, live SPY/QQQ/IWM price cards and extended-session charts, and a customizable Spotlight grid. Under each SPY, QQQ, and IWM card, it shows current backend-classified constituent counts for Active, Wait, Avoid, and Exit. Those counts and Spotlight use the same solid Signal squares: green Active, gray Wait, red Avoid, and yellow Exit. ## Simple Workflow 1. Read Market Watch for the broad-market and sector backdrop. 2. Read Range/Signal for the ticker's current Active, Wait, Exit, or Avoid momentum state. 3. Compare current Price with the Low and High boundaries around the meter. 4. Open the daily chart when deeper context is useful. 5. Filter, sort, save, and revisit the same research through watchlists and Spotlight. ## Why It Feels Simple The order stays the same for every stock and ETF: market backdrop, Range/Signal, Price against Low and High, chart, then save. The main answer stays visible, supporting detail is beside it or one click away, and organization tools reuse the same fields. Backend-authored results arrive ready to read. No brokerage connection, trade execution, or portfolio handoff is required. ## Current Pricing - $49.99 per month with a 7-day free trial. - $420 per year with a 14-day free trial. - Stripe handles checkout and billing. - Self-service cancellation: sign in, open Account, select Cancel subscription, and confirm in Stripe.
