# Podium Markets

> Podium Markets brings together portfolio management, market scans, research agents, and Ivy — your personal AI trading assistant — in one platform.

Podium Markets is an AI-native trading interface built around one simple idea: you should never have to trade alone. At the center of the experience is **Ivy**, your personal AI trading assistant — always on, always researching, and ready to help you find opportunities, analyze the market, and act with confidence. Whether you're scanning for momentum plays, digging into options chains, or just trying to make sense of a volatile session, Ivy is your co-pilot from the moment you log in.

## What you can do with Podium

Podium Markets is designed for active traders who want an edge — and Ivy is what makes that edge possible. Here's what the platform puts at your fingertips:

* **Ivy AI assistant** — Ask Ivy anything about the market, a specific ticker, or your portfolio. Ivy uses research agents to pull real-time data, synthesize information, and deliver actionable insight in plain language.
* **Market scans** — Run pre-built scans like Scalping, Gap & Go, Mean Reversion, and Inside Bar Volume Surge, or prompt Ivy to conduct scan that match your exact strategy.
* **Options** — Explore options chains, analyze risk, and get AI-assisted guidance on structuring trades — all without leaving the platform.
* **Charts** — Visualize price action with charts that integrate directly with Ivy so you can move from analysis to action in seconds.
* **Watchlists** — Ask Ivy to build custom watchlists tracking your favorite tickers, or build out your own.
* **Brokerage connections** — Connect your existing brokerage accounts to sync all your portfolio information in one place.
