Getting Started with Market Watch 360
Market Watch 360 brings a selected S&P 500 stock basket, breadth, IVV-weighted contribution, and charts into one Windows desktop workspace. Start by confirming your own Alpaca connection and the basket you are reading.
Draft updated · owner review pending
Know what the software does
It is display-only analysis software. The public website accepts demo or trial requests but does not stream Alpaca data, collect API credentials, or activate a desktop license in this local preview.
Orient yourself on the screen
The current development preview places Market Intelligence beside an estimated S&P 500 weighted-move chart, with five stock tabs and compact stock cards below. Read the All / Top 10 / Top 15 / Top 20 / Top 30 basket choice before interpreting breadth or impact. Nasdaq-100 and Dow views are planned, not present in the app.
Connection and availability
Customers enter their own Alpaca credentials under Connect → API Key… in the desktop app, not the website. Choose Paper trading or Live, select Test connection, then Save; the pair is stored in Windows Credential Manager. Customer licensing and installation instructions still await a release build.
