About StockAlarm

A market research platform built for continuous awareness.

StockAlarm is a real-time market monitoring and alerting platform used by 295,000+ investors and market professionals worldwide. The platform delivers over one million alerts each month, helping users stay aware of meaningful market changes across asset classes — without constant manual monitoring.

With more than 7,000 reviews and a 4.8-star rating, StockAlarm is the most widely used alert platform in its category.

Built by Experienced Market and Technology Operators

StockAlarm is led by Shawn Carpenter, co-founder and former CEO of YCharts, a financial data and analytics platform widely used by financial advisors and institutional teams and acquired in 2020.

Following YCharts, Shawn founded Center Mark Capital, an investment firm focused on building and acquiring financial-technology companies. StockAlarm operates as part of the Center Mark Capital portfolio, alongside other market- and data-focused businesses.

This background — building institutional-grade platforms and scaling them to professional adoption — directly informs how StockAlarm is designed and operated.

What StockAlarm Does

Markets are dynamic systems. Prices, volume, trends, leadership, and broader conditions evolve continuously — often faster than any individual or team can manually track.

StockAlarm provides continuous market coverage across equities, ETFs, indices, futures, macro indicators, and digital assets. It monitors markets in real time and surfaces changes that warrant attention — allowing users to respond, investigate, or contextualize developments as they happen.

The platform is not designed to replace analysis or decision-making. It is designed to ensure that important developments are seen, not missed.

Who Uses StockAlarm

StockAlarm is used by:

  • Individual investors managing personal portfolios
  • Active traders monitoring multiple instruments
  • Financial advisors tracking markets alongside client work
  • Investment professionals who need dependable, real-time awareness

The common requirement across these audiences is not more data — it is timely awareness and signal clarity.

A Research-Oriented Approach

StockAlarm is built as a research support system, not a trading signal generator. Alerts are intended to act as:

  • Early indicators
  • Contextual prompts
  • Awareness tools

They help users decide when to look deeper — not what to think.

This philosophy reflects real-world professional workflows, where tools are expected to integrate quietly into decision-making processes rather than demand constant attention.

Scale, Reliability, and Trust

StockAlarm operates continuously across global markets, delivering alerts with low latency and high reliability. The platform's scale — hundreds of thousands of users and millions of alerts per month — reflects sustained trust from a broad and sophisticated user base.

We prioritize:

  • Accuracy over volume
  • Signal over noise
  • Reliability over novelty

Looking Forward

StockAlarm continues to expand its coverage and capabilities as markets evolve. The focus remains consistent: providing dependable market awareness for people who take markets seriously — whether professionally or personally.

We are building infrastructure, not features for novelty's sake.

StockAlarm helps serious market participants stay aware of meaningful changes — continuously, reliably, and without distraction.
