Introduction to MarketQuants
Welcome
MarketQuants is a modern market analysis decision-support platform. In a world of information overload, we offer clarity.
Instead of overwhelming you with thousands of indicators, we distill the S&P 500 into a visual ranking system. This helps you instantly answer three questions:
- What is working? (Relative Strength)
- What is valuable? (Price Structure)
- What is safe? (Risk Management)
This documentation is your manual for navigating the platform, from your first login to your first live trade.

- Support: If you get stuck, check the Troubleshooting section or contact support.
