Trade Desk Tour

A guided tour of the Trade Desk: the trading, market-tape and research tools, what each is good for, and which jobs to reach for first.

One desk, many tools

The Trade Desk is Market Jukebox’s toolbox. It gathers dozens of tools in one place, from position sizing and paper trading to sector rotation, breadth and company research. Most desk tools are part of Full Access membership, while a few, such as the Thematic Investing Scan and Stock Ratings, can be tried with limited free use.

The number of tools can feel overwhelming at first. The trick is to think in jobs, not tools. What question are you trying to answer right now? There is usually one tool built for exactly that job.

The desk groups tools into three shelves. A few examples from each.
