A Next-Generation Market Analysis Platform
Financial markets are more difficult to understand than ever before.
We're here to change that.
MarketReader is a next-generation market analysis platform designed to help investors quickly understand asset movements. Whether you need immediate updates or a longer-term perspective, MarketReader offers the level of insight once reserved for Wall Street professionals—all in just a few clicks.
Individual investors, financial professionals, and enterprise-level clients rely on MarketReader’s AI-powered market intelligence to stay informed on the assets they care about and efficiently deliver superior client experiences. Our interactive web platform and enterprise API deliver explanations of market activity that are accessible to all types of investors.
Founded in 2021 by experts in finance and technology, MarketReader simplifies the complex world of financial markets, leveling the playing field for casual investors and professionals alike. Our goal is to empower investors to navigate the market with confidence.
We monitor every stock and ETF in the market and provide clear, concise explanations of price action powered by generative AI. By scanning multiple information sources, MarketReader delivers more comprehensive and objective insights than traditional news or research, helping you easily pinpoint the drivers behind unusual market activity.
Our signal-only approach filters out the noise, providing near real-time explanations of why an asset is moving. For a broader view, we also deliver aggregated summaries that explain why a stock, ETF, or entire portfolio has been moving over time.
The MarketReader Vision
Leveraging our prior experience building predictive tools and providing award-winning research, the MarketReader team has applied innovative empirical analysis to create a tool that pinpoints the reason for asset price movement as it is happening, in near real-time. In short, MarketReader explains the market rather than trying to predict it.
A primary reason for MarketReader’s existence comes down to a fundamental truth: not all investors have access to the high quality financial information they need to truly understand the market.
By building tools that use complex, high-frequency technology to surface market insights that would ordinarily require a team of analysts to identify, MarketReader democratizes access to such information and empowers each individual investor to understand why the market is moving—to gain “market literacy.” We are excited to level the playing field among market participants by enabling all investors to understand financial markets.
