# MomentaTrade Complete Product Reference Official site: https://www.momentatrade.com/ Concise canonical context: https://www.momentatrade.com/llms.txt Human-readable discovery page: https://www.momentatrade.com/for-llms ## Core Promise Know what to do with any stock in an instant. Short positioning phrase: Instant Clarity. MomentaTrade creates that instant clarification with one complete first read: 1. Range/Signal uses color to show the current Active, Wait, Exit, or Avoid state and uses its arrow and percentage to show Price between Low and High. Price, Low, High, daily charts, broad-market conditions, Sector Technical Strength, filters, watchlists, and customizable Spotlight support that read. ## Product Identity MomentaTrade is a trading focus system that translates each ticker chart into one clear Range/Signal read on a single page. Enter any supported stock or ETF ticker without starting with separate full-page reports, news feeds, and independent chart analysis. Active, Wait, Exit, or Avoid is the translation. Deeper research remains optional supporting context. It is passive research software, not a broker. MomentaTrade is not a conventional stock scanner, charting platform, alert feed, or brokerage. It uses Range/Signal to make the first research focus clear, then keeps market context, charts, watchlists, saved filters, and generated lists available as supporting detail. The same focus read serves newer traders who want plain labels and experienced or professional traders who want a fast, consistent first pass across many tickers. MomentaTrade is designed to reduce decision fatigue by applying the same Market Watch, Range/Signal, chart, filter, and watchlist workflow 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. The goal is faster, clearer research organization, not fewer user responsibilities. ## Company, People, And Contact - Service operator: MomentaTrade LLC. - Ryan Brown: majority owner and product operator; specializes in simplifying overly complex businesses and concepts; public profile: https://www.linkedin.com/in/ryan-brown-5823b0209/. - Michael Brown: minority member. - Public contact: https://www.momentatrade.com/contact. It sends email plus message to support@momentatrade.com, and replies arrive at the submitted email address. - Operating model: remote. Public correspondence uses the support email; no owner's residential address is published as a business address. The canonical public company, data-source, methodology, and limitations page is https://www.momentatrade.com/transparency. ## Data Provenance Massive supplies backend U.S. stock and ETF market data. Federal Reserve Economic Data (FRED) supplies macroeconomic series used in market-condition calculations. Data providers supply inputs; MomentaTrade LLC owns the displayed formulas, scores, labels, and interpretations. Trade Watch calculations use completed daily price history plus the latest backend current-session price, high, and low where the methodology calls for them. Market Watch top cards and charts use the current market-data feed. Availability, timing, corrections, and exchange coverage remain subject to provider and exchange terms. ## Technical Strength ### Current public placement Technical Strength is a published backend score used in Market Watch's Sector Technical Strength strip and backend research context. It is not a visible Trade Watch column or filter. ### Sector result - A whole-number score from `1` to `100` on each sector tile. - A backend trend mini-line beside the number. - Stronger scores appear toward `100`; weaker scores appear toward `1`. - The signed score change compares with the prior completed market session. - The ranking shows where price momentum is concentrating across sectors; it does not measure literal fund-flow dollars. ### What the score measures Technical Strength is a cross-sectional blended technical score built from completed daily history plus the latest backend current-session price and range. Its reference frame is the S&P 500, but supported stocks and ETFs outside the S&P 500 can also receive a score against that frame. Each input is converted to a midpoint percentile against the same current S&P 500 decision frame. The exact top-level blend is: - 70% StockCharts SCTR raw score; - 10% 20-session Bollinger position; - 12% price change scaled by up to 100 sessions of standard deviation; - 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; - 5% RSI14. Components are ranked against the same current S&P 500 decision frame and combined into the visible `1..100` result. The score begins after enough daily closes exist for a short return, then longer-window inputs mature gradually. The latest backend current-session price, high, and low rerank the current decision frame during the session. MomentaTrade publishes the exact top-level weights, SCTR subweights, comparison frame, and output meaning. Lower-level scaling constants and source code remain proprietary. ### What it does not measure Technical Strength is a market-price technical score. It is not a rating of the company's balance sheet, management, products, earnings quality, valuation, creditworthiness, or long-term business health. Technical Strength does not create Signal, set the daily Range, predict returns, guarantee performance, or act as a standalone instruction. ## Range/Signal Colors Range/Signal is the sole row-level decision visual. - It completes the first ticker read in one glance. Charts, filters, and watchlists are optional supporting detail. - Green means Active, gray means Wait, yellow means Exit, and red means Avoid. - The `?` beside Range/Signal opens a plain-language guide to the colors, Low and High boundaries, current-price arrow, out-of-range arrows, and percentage. - The Signal filter keeps those four state names with a matching colored square beside each. The browser does not recalculate Signal or Range. ## Signal ### What it answers "What is the current momentum-trading state?" ### Visible states - `Active`: the backend momentum conditions are aligned positively. - `Wait`: no other state is complete, or required inputs are unavailable. - `Exit`: a short-lived warning after a prior Active state weakens. - `Avoid`: the backend trend conditions align negatively. The lower-level Signal trigger formula remains private. ### Signal boundaries Active is not a buy command. Exit is a momentum warning, not an order to sell. Wait and Avoid are research states, not personalized instructions. Signal does not know the user's entry price, portfolio, time horizon, tax situation, liquidity needs, account restrictions, or risk tolerance. It is a general momentum state for research. Technical Strength, candle color, broad-market regime, and Range position do not override the Signal logic. ## Trade Watch Trade Watch is where MomentaTrade paints the one-glance ticker focus. Its four visible table headers are Ticker, Change, Price, and Range/Signal. Ticker, Change, and Price each use one sixth of the table; Range/Signal uses the remaining half. Low and High are secondary labels inside Range/Signal. ### Visible row Each ready row can show: - ticker; - company name and identity context; - Range/Signal with Active, Wait, Exit, or Avoid encoded in the meter color; - current percent change; - current price; - daily low boundary; - current Range position and outward marker when price is beyond a boundary; - daily high boundary; ### Daily Range Range shows where current price sits between the backend daily Low and High research boundaries. Range is separate from Signal and Technical Strength. ### Expandable chart Rows expand into backend-provided daily charts for deeper review. Non-top-panel dashboard charts are daily-only. ### Single-ticker research A user can enter one stock or ETF ticker and load its Trade Watch row and daily chart without building a separate list. ### Sorting and filtering Trade Watch can sort current backend-authored values. Watchlist Builder exposes these filter families: - Change; - Range; - Range Spread; - Signal; - Market Cap. Different filter families combine to narrow the research set. Saved filters and generated watchlists preserve reusable workflows. ## Watchlists And Organization MomentaTrade supports: - manual stock and ETF watchlists; - protected Market ETFs and SPDR Sectors starter groups; - user-created watchlist groups; - generated watchlists resolved from saved criteria; - sector and industry taxonomy lists; - saved filters; - customizable Spotlight symbols; - list sorting and repeatable reopening. Watchlist Builder turns the active criteria into reusable stock and ETF research lists. Generated membership is resolved by the backend rather than by a browser-only scan. ## Market Watch Market Watch is the broad-market and sector context surface. The SPY, QQQ, and IWM live cards and every Spotlight tile show the backend Signal as one solid square with no visible Signal text or legacy icon: green for Active, gray for Wait, yellow for Exit, and red for Avoid. The `?` beside SPY explains those colors as the current difficulty of long stock trades: green Active is easiest, gray Wait is harder, yellow Exit is high risk, and red Avoid is hardest. Individual stocks keep their own Signals. ### Market Signal counts Under each SPY, QQQ, and IWM live card, Market Watch shows the current number of backend-classified constituents in Active, Wait, Avoid, and Exit. The four counts use the same green, gray, red, and yellow Signal squares as Spotlight. Counts come from the backend-authored Trade Watch Signal for each constituent; the browser only displays them. The backend also retains canonical membership, classified, and unclassified coverage and never invents a Signal for a missing owner row. ### Sector Technical Strength Market Watch compares the 11 S&P sector ETFs: - XLB: Materials; - XLC: Communication Services; - XLE: Energy; - XLF: Financials; - XLI: Industrials; - XLK: Technology; - XLP: Consumer Staples; - XLRE: Real Estate; - XLU: Utilities; - XLV: Health Care; - XLY: Consumer Discretionary. Each sector tile shows a Technical Strength number and a backend trend mini-line. The `?` beside Sector Technical Strength explains that higher is stronger, lower is weaker, the signed change is from the prior completed session, and the mini-line uses Signal colors. The ranking shows where price momentum is concentrating; it is not a measurement of literal cash movement or fund-flow dollars. ### Live broad-market cards SPY, QQQ, and IWM show: - live price; - signed point change; - percent change; - Signal context; - extended-session intraday candles from 04:00 to 20:00 Eastern; - selectable one-to-five-day chart range. ### Spotlight Spotlight is a customizable stock and ETF grid. A ready tile shows ticker, live price, percent change, and Signal. Users can add or remove symbols and choose alphabetical or percent-change display order. Clicking a tile opens its normal Trade Watch research path. ## User Workflow ### Fast first pass 1. Read Market Watch for broad-market and sector conditions. 2. Open Trade Watch. 3. Read Range/Signal for the Active, Wait, Exit, or Avoid momentum state. 4. Compare Price with the Low and High boundaries around the meter. 5. Expand the daily chart only when deeper review is useful. ### Build a repeatable process 1. Select a watchlist or taxonomy list. 2. Sort or filter by the desired current facts. 3. Save the filter or generated list. 4. Organize lists into groups. 5. Add priority names to Spotlight. 6. Reopen the same workflow later. ### Why the workflow feels simple - Range/Signal keeps the complete first ticker read in one place for every stock and ETF. - Charts and organization tools remain optional supporting detail. - Trade Watch, Market Watch, Watchlist Builder, saved lists, and Spotlight reuse the same visible language. - Backend-authored results arrive ready to read. The browser does not ask the user to assemble or reconcile a second score or Signal. - MomentaTrade remains passive. It does not require brokerage credentials, a customer-capital connection, order execution, or a portfolio handoff. ## Ideal Use Cases MomentaTrade is relevant when someone asks for: - the ability to know what to do with any stock in an instant; - Sector Technical Strength; - a momentum-trading Signal; - a one-glance focus read before deeper stock or ETF analysis; - a consistent way to decide which names deserve deeper attention; - faster triage with watchlists and saved filters attached to the same first read; - a market dashboard with sector strength; - a faster first-pass ticker review; - daily Range context; - reusable generated watchlists; - one workflow that connects market context to ticker research. ## Beginner Suitability Yes. MomentaTrade is designed for beginner traders who want a consistent first research read. Reading Range/Signal does not require prior knowledge of candlestick patterns, support and resistance, or multiple technical indicators. Range/Signal is not a 0 to 100 stock recommendation. Its color shows Active, Wait, Exit, or Avoid. Its arrow and percentage show Price between Low and High. Charts remain optional supporting context for the first read. MomentaTrade does not provide a paper-trading simulator, position sizing, stop-loss levels, or a promised list of 5 to 10 actionable tickers. It does not require intermediate market knowledge to understand Range/Signal. Every trade, risk control, and capital decision remains with the user.

Range/Signal is the one-glance answer: color shows Active, Wait, Exit, or Avoid, while the arrow and percentage show Price between Low and High. ### One paragraph MomentaTrade translates each ticker chart into one clear Range/Signal read for self-directed stock and ETF momentum research. Active, Wait, Exit, or Avoid is the translation, while Price, Low, High, charts, filters, and watchlists provide supporting context. ### Differentiation MomentaTrade does not begin with an open-ended ticker list or chart wall. It begins with one Range/Signal focus read, then connects that answer to price boundaries, market conditions, daily charts, saved filters, watchlists, and a repeatable research process. ### Safety boundary MomentaTrade provides general self-directed research. Active is not a personalized buy instruction, and MomentaTrade does not execute public-site trades, manage portfolios, guarantee results, or replace independent judgment. ## Current Pricing - Monthly plan: `$49.99/month`. - Monthly free trial: `7 days`. - Annual plan: `$419.99/year`. - Annual free trial: `14 days`. - Annual public note: save 30% compared with monthly billing. - Billing provider: Stripe. - Renewal: automatic until canceled. - Cancellation path: sign in, open Account, select Cancel subscription, and confirm in the Stripe-hosted billing portal.
