MarketSurge is the flagship interactive charting and stock research platform from Investor’s Business Daily (IBD) (a Dow Jones / News Corp company).
It was launched as the modern successor to MarketSmith, built around the CAN SLIM growth investing methodology pioneered by IBD founder William O'Neil. It provides technical and fundamental analysis tools geared toward active growth stock traders and swing traders.
Key Features:
Proprietary 1–99 Ratings: Includes IBD's exclusive metrics—such as Composite Rating, EPS Rating, and Relative Strength (RS) Rating—which compress complex data into simple numerical scores to evaluate stocks against the broader market.
Automatic Pattern Recognition: Uses algorithms to identify classical technical chart patterns (e.g., cup-with-handle, flat base, double bottom) and color-codes clear buy, profit-taking, and stop-loss zones on interactive price charts.
Curated Growth Lists: Offers access to screens like the Growth 250, IBD 50, and specialized indicators (like the David Ryan "Ants Indicator") to highlight institutional accumulation and high-potential growth stocks.
Fundamental & Technical Integration: Overlays quarterly earnings trends, sales data, and institutional sponsorship directly onto interactive price and volume charts.
Stock & ETF Screener: Contains customizable criteria to filter thousands of stocks using technical indicators, fundamental metrics, and IBD ratings.
