Features / App walkthrough
Market Watch 360 is display-only desktop software for seeing what is really moving the market. Breadth, weighted contribution, native charts, and stock cards turn familiar market data into a clearer view as the session develops.
The $0, 14-day trial offer is selected. Activation is not live on this local website.
Why this matters
01Can the index rise while more stocks fall than rise? Yes. Weight changes the story.
02Can a stock make a big price move but barely move the index? Yes. Contribution tells you how much it matters.
03Can a small group carry the broader move? See the leaders beside market breadth.
Inside the desktop app
Follow the screen from Market Intelligence through the chart and cards. Each view answers a different question about the same market move.
Market Breadth
Compare how many selected stocks are rising or falling with the weighted contribution behind each side. A rising index can tell a different story from the number of stocks going up.
Candle Pulse
Candle Pulse turns the selected weighted stock basket's estimated Net movement into seven small candles: 1, 3, 5, 10, 15, 30 and 60 minutes. Fixed, the default, groups observations into scheduled intervals. Rolling follows a trailing window ending at the latest available observation. Both use the same basket and feed context, but answer different timing questions.
Each candle uses open and close for its body and observed high and low for its wick. The shared scale makes movement across timeframes comparable; it expands when needed and has a minimum ±5 estimated S&P-point range when point values are available. Rolling can seed from provider minute bars, then incorporates live basket observations. A shorter or partial history is labeled as such. Feed delays remain delays, and these are estimated selected-basket candles, not official S&P 500 index candles. Candle Pulse's mode does not change Trend Matrix 360.
Trend Matrix 360
Trend Matrix 360 reads moving-average direction on the selected weighted stock basket. Two panels beneath Candle Pulse calculate their own EMA directions from different candle intervals, so a faster panel can disagree with a slower one. Arrows show the direction of each EMA; a colored label summarizes their combination.
The desktop development preview uses EMA 9, 20, 50 and 200 with nine descriptive conditions, including Early Rally, Early Pullback, Cooling and Bounce. A forming candle can change the reading before it closes. These labels describe observed direction, not a forecast or trade instruction. Candle Pulse's Fixed or Rolling choice does not change these calculations.
The two faster averages rise while the slower two still fall.

Weighted Index Chart
The weighted session chart sits beside Market Intelligence, so the broad move and the companies behind it can be read in the same workspace.
Chart Controls
Switch timeframes and chart style, zoom, reset, and expand the view as you follow a market or stock move.
Dynamic Tab Views
Move between All, Down, Up, Impact, and Biggest Movers. Each view brings a different part of the selected basket forward.
At-a-Glance Summaries
The view tabs summarize their market slice before you scan the cards. See participation and impact in the same place you choose the next lens.
Stock Cards
Compact cards bring charts and contribution-aware numbers into one scan-friendly grid. Compare symbols while keeping the larger market view visible.
Pop-out Chart
Open a selected symbol in its own native chart window. The main market workspace stays in place while you look closer.
Layout Controls
Choose a basket size and adjust rows, zoom, and card density to match how much information you want in view.
Three Index Views
The desktop development preview has S&P 500, Nasdaq-100, and Dow 30 workspaces. Nasdaq and Dow values remain unavailable without valid market-specific reference data; the three-market preview is not a public release.
Light & Dark Themes
The desktop interface supports light and dark themes, so the same workspace can suit different lighting and working preferences.
Why traders respond to it
The desktop view changes with data from the customer’s connection.
See which companies carry the move and which ones barely touch it.
Start with breadth, then follow a contributor into its own chart.
Keep the index, market tabs, and stock cards in sight together.
Early feedback
Wow. I always looked at how many stocks were up or down. I didn't realize how misleading that could be until I saw the actual weighted impact. That's information worth having.
The Impact view got my attention. A stock can make a huge move and barely affect the index, while another stock moves just a little and makes a big difference. I honestly never looked at the market that way before.
What impressed me most is that everything changes as the market moves. You're not looking at yesterday's numbers or a static picture. You can actually watch the balance shift throughout the day.
