Six years of brokerage records say the busiest traders picked fine and still finished behind the market. What they were missing was a risk seat. MarketGuru is that seat, marking every position you track against its own plan while the market is open, on thresholds built from your answers rather than a default.
Terrance Odean at Berkeley and Brad Barber at UC Davis pulled six years of records from a discount brokerage. 66,465 households, every order. The average household made 16.4% a year. The fifth that traded most made 11.4%. The market returned 17.9% over the same stretch.
They were not picking worse stocks. Odean's other well-known finding is where the money goes: 60% of what retail investors sell is a winner. The losers stay in the account, held past the stop, waiting to get back to flat. That is a management problem, and it lands at the exact hour you are in a meeting, on a commute, or simply not willing to look.
Nobody at a fund manages their own risk. There is a seat whose only job is the position after it is on: mark it, size it, cut it when the level goes. MarketGuru is that seat, pointed at your book.
Three things happen when you join. After that it runs without you.
Your timeframe, your goals, and how much drawdown you can actually sit through. A 2% move is noise to a position trader and a stop-out to a day trader, so the thresholds are built from your answers.
Every position you track is held against its plan: entry, stop, target, size. The desk polls it while the market is open and writes you a digest after the close.
“Up 1.8R. Trim a third, trail your stop to 185.40.” “This level just gave way. The thesis is done.” Plain English, with the number you need to act on.
We do not publish a win rate. We publish the mechanism, and the desk's setup record, every call since 15 July 2026, losers left on the ledger.
The desk marks every position you track through the session and tells you when one needs a decision.
The desk trades its own research in public, with the plan posted before the move and left up after it.
Ask about a name you hold. The answer pulls the live quote, the calendar and the desk's own notes on it.
$10.99/mo, 63% below Pro. It never rises while you hold the seat, and when the seats are gone the founding price closes to new members for good.
Request features, shape the roadmap, and help build the desk around how you actually trade.
Signals with entry, stop and target, the analyst notes behind them, the fund's book and its rationale, live quotes, and 24/7 monitoring on your own positions. Founding is a price, not a smaller product.
It watches the levels through the session, so you can stop refreshing a broker app under the desk at work.
