Get Stock Picks That Have a Backtested Edge

Get real-time alerts with complete trade details for each pick.

Our Stock Investing Service

At Stock Market Guides, we offer a Stock Investing Service that includes trade alerts for our favorite picks. Our service only features stock investing opportunities that have a quantitative backtested edge. We don’t shoot from the hip with trade ideas here. We rely exclusively on the data. This means that if you get a stock trade alert, it’s because there is a trade opportunity that has a track record of success in backtests.

Our Stock Picks

Clear Trade Instructions

Each stock pick gives you the details needed to follow the trade idea: ticker symbol, entry instructions, and exit instructions.

Backtested Signals Behind Every Pick

Our stock picks are based on fundamental trading signals the stock qualifies for. You can see how those signals have performed historically in backtests for each stock we alert, including wins, losses, and return on investment.

Millions of Backtests Reviewed Daily

Each day, our system reviews millions of backtested trade outcomes across 100+ signals, 300+ indicators, and 5,000+ ticker symbols. Then we narrow that research down to the strongest stock trade opportunities we find and alert you.

Performance of Stock Picks

The goal of this service is to send customers trade setups in real time that have shown meaningful historical performance. Every stock pick we make has at least one signal with a 40%+ annualized return in backtests. Most traders would not have the time or tools to find these setups on their own. Our system does the heavy research work for you.

Please note that this performance information is not based on live trades, but on backtests, which have important limitations. Investing in stocks involves risk, even when trade setups have a strong history of profitability. You can dial your risk down or up by adjusting your position sizing or the number of trades you take. The more risk that’s taken, the higher the potential for drawdowns. You can also start out by paper trading stocks to get a feel for the trades before putting real money at risk.

Features of Our Stock Picks

Stock Picks for Investors

Our stock picks are designed for people who are looking to hold positions for 3 weeks to 1 year. It's for buy-and-hold traders. We send out up to one stock pick per day with our Stock Investing Service, depending on market conditions. If you're looking for more active stock trading than that, you can consider our Swing Trading Service that caters to active stock traders.

Support from Stock Experts

We have stock experts who offer commentary on a regular basis regarding both our stock picks and the general state of the market. Their commentary gets sent out to the group in an email newsletter. These experts are readily available for any questions you might have along the way.

No Hype. Just Data-Driven Picks.

This service isn't about hype or fluff. Our approach is all about the data. With each pick we make, you can see the detailed backtest results associated with each signal. You get full transparency.

Includes Budget Picks

Our Stock Investing Service includes budget picks where the stock price is less than $20 per share for each one.

Just Minutes per Day to Follow Along

This service is designed for people who don't have the time to do their own research. We do the research and alert you when we make a pick. A built-in position size calculator also saves time.

Good for Beginners

We have tutorials that show how to follow along with the trades. And if questions come up, contact us and see why our customer service staff has gotten high praise from others. See testimonials.

Stock Picks Based on Fundamental Analysis

For our stock investing picks, our trade alerts are based on fundamental analysis. This means that our stock picks are based on how companies are performing from the perspective of their financial reports. We look at metrics like earnings and sales as a basis for making our picks.

If you're looking for stock picks based on technical analysis instead, like chart patterns and stock indicators, you can consider our service for short-term stock picks instead. That service is designed for swing traders.

Stock Picks That Are Easy to Follow

We send trade alert notifications when we make stock picks. They are sent in real time by either text or email, depending on your preference. Our trade alerts show you a specific trade idea that indicates exactly when to buy the stock and when to sell the stock. You can be alerted when the trade ends, too. The alerts can be very convenient for people who have limited time and want to spend minimal time administering their stock investments.

Stock Trading Tutorials

If you don’t know exactly how to invest in a stock, you can check out our free beginner’s guide for how to buy stocks. Once you sign up for the service, you’ll find tutorials that teach the basics about how to follow along with our stock picks. You can also learn a lot about different fundamental trading signals by reading the descriptions for the signals cited in our trade alerts. Our goal is to make sure you will have the tools to be able to successfully follow our stock picks no matter what your trading expertise level is. And if questions come up along the way, you can contact us any time and we’ll be ready to help.
