The problem it solves

Reading charts and calculating indicators for a watchlist every morning takes time and focus you may not have before the market opens. It's easy to miss a signal or fall back on gut feel instead of a consistent process.

Who it fits

An individual trader, investor, or small research team that tracks a set list of stocks and wants a repeatable daily check.

How it works

  1. Every day, the system pulls recent price data for your list of stocks.
  2. It calculates standard indicators like RSI, moving averages, and MACD for each one.
  3. Rule-based logic turns those numbers into a buy, sell, or neutral signal.
  4. The results are saved to a Google Sheets dashboard you can check anytime.
What you get

Buy or sell signals to weigh each morning

You get a clear buy, sell, or hold signal for every stock on your watchlist, updated daily in an easy dashboard.

What you get

A daily Google Sheets dashboard showing indicator values and a buy, sell, or neutral signal for each stock.

What you need

A market data API account, such as Alpha Vantage, and a Google Sheets account.

We can build this. But should you?

The hard question is not how to build it. It is whether this is the right thing to build first.

That is what a Fractional Chief AI Officer figures out with you, before anyone writes a line of code.
