Barrons Review of iViewMarkets

Top Websites for Quantitative Stock Analysis

IVIEWMARKETS (iviewmarkets.com) is a similar market-analytics Website, but it focuses on data-gathering. It provides real-time market information and tools to rate the prospects of 10,000 U.S.-listed stocks and funds. But, instead of the proprietary factors used by Chaikin, iVIEWMarkets, a just-launched free site, employs off-the-shelf technical and fundamental measures. The company was started by Brett Golden, its president, who also founded the paid site ChartLabPRO (chartlabpro.com), which features its own proprietary tools.
Like Chaikin Analytics, the graphical nature of the site helps visitors follow its often-overwhelming data stream. Charts, heat maps, and gauges facilitate quick interpretation of popular internal market indicators and individual security metrics.
Complementary indicators are grouped together into views outfitted with just the tools and data appropriate to them. For example, the Trader View mixes the week’s best- and worst-performing Standard & Poor’s 500 members, overbought and oversold securities, and the relative performance of the week’s best industries.
These kinds of market triggers often find their way into trading algorithms. But iVIEWMarkets doesn’t offer the kind of algorithm-building platform found on social quant sites, such as Quantopian (quantopian.com). Its focus is to identify and deliver key market data—in real time.
During the recent market slaughter, iVIEWMarkets e-mails delivered changing support and resistance levels for all securities in subscriber portfolios daily. Chartists with a better-than-average knowledge of technical analysis can figure these out. But think of the time saved by having a dozen or more of these key entry and exit inputs recalculated for you every day.
Time is always of the essence. And for traders, not just any knowledge, but rather actionable information, is power.
