About StockMarketWatch.com
Welcome to StockMarketWatch.com, the new official home for the community, tools, and insights that have been trusted by traders since the early 2000s.
If you've been with us for a while, you'll know us from our previous domain, thestockmarketwatch.com. After more than 15 years, we've moved to this new, streamlined address to continue our mission: providing practical, experience-driven tools and analysis for active traders.
A Message from Our Founder
My journey in the markets began back in 1999. For over two decades, I’ve been actively trading stocks, options, and futures, navigating everything from the dot-com bubble to the age of algorithmic trading.
As both a long-time trader and a programmer, I found myself constantly seeking an edge. I needed tools that could cut through the noise and identify specific, actionable trading setups. When I couldn’t find exactly what I was looking for, I decided to build it myself.
What began as a set of personal tools I developed to refine my own trading strategies eventually grew into this website. I realized that the challenges I faced were universal to many traders. My goal became to share these custom-built tools and the insights gained from using them with a community of like-minded individuals. This site is the result of that passion—a blend of real-world trading experience and technical innovation.
Our Philosophy: Practical Tools for Real Traders
We are not a "get rich quick" platform. Our philosophy is grounded in discipline, technology, and decades of market experience. We focus on:
- Actionable Setups: We develop and share tools designed to identify tangible trading opportunities, from pre-market movers and gappers to specific momentum patterns.
- Experience-Driven Insights: The analysis and commentary you find here are not theoretical; they are born from over 20 years of active participation in the markets.
- Community and Education: We believe in empowering traders by sharing the very tools and ideas we use in our own process.
A Legacy of Building for Traders
My journey in building financial technology extends beyond this site. Over the years, I've developed several platforms to serve the trading community, including:
- OptionsElite: A service focused on options trade signals and trader education.
- GetStockIdeas: A platform that provided live tools for identifying pre-market momentum, gap trades, and other intraday setups.
While these projects have since been retired, the experience gained from building and running them is infused into every tool and article on StockMarketWatch.com today.
