Getting Started

Podium Markets is an AI-native trading platform designed to help individual traders research, analyze, and act on market opportunities faster. It combines real-time market data, brokerage integrations, and an AI assistant named Ivy into a single, unified workspace — so you spend less time switching tabs and more time making informed decisions.
Ivy is Podium’s built-in AI assistant. You can ask Ivy natural-language questions about stocks, options, market trends, your portfolio, and more. Ivy draws on real-time data and your connected accounts to give you context-aware answers, run scans, summarize earnings, and surface trade ideas — all within the platform.
Creating an account takes less than two minutes.

Brokerages

Podium Markets supports a growing list of major U.S. brokerages. For the full and up-to-date list, see the Supported Brokerages page. If your broker isn’t listed yet, you can submit a request and we’ll prioritize additions based on demand.
No. Podium Markets never stores your brokerage username or password.

Podium only receives the data necessary to display your portfolio and execute actions you explicitly authorize.

Ivy & Features

Ivy is a versatile research and analysis companion. Some things you can ask include:
  • Stock research — “What’s the short interest on NVDA?” or “Summarize the latest earnings for AAPL.”
  • Options analysis — “Show me high open-interest calls expiring this week.”
  • Portfolio insights — “What’s my biggest sector concentration?” or “Which of my positions are down more than 10%?”
  • Scans — “Find tech stocks with RSI under 30 and positive earnings surprise.”
  • Market context — “What’s moving the market today?” or “Any Fed speakers this week?”
The more context you give Ivy, the more tailored the response. Try asking follow-up questions to drill deeper into any topic.
No. Ivy is an AI tool designed to help you research and analyze markets — it does not provide personalized financial, investment, tax, or legal advice. Always do your own due diligence and consult a licensed financial professional before making investment decisions. Podium Markets is not a registered investment adviser.
Podium Markets ships with a library of pre-built scans targeting the most popular trading strategies. The current lineup includes, but is not limited to:
  • Scalping — identifies intraday setups with tight spreads and high liquidity for short-duration trades
  • Gap & Go — surfaces stocks gapping up or down at the open with volume confirmation, ideal for momentum traders
  • Mean Reversion — flags securities that have moved significantly from a statistical baseline and may be poised to revert
  • Inside Bar Volume Surge — detects inside-bar candlestick patterns accompanied by a notable spike in volume, signaling potential breakout or breakdown setups
You can browse and run all available scans from the Scans tab in the main navigation. You can also ask Ivy to run any scan in plain language or build a fully custom scan with your own criteria.
Yes. In addition to the pre-built scan library, you can simply describe what you’re looking for to Ivy in plain language. For example: “Find S&P 500 stocks up more than 5% this week with volume above their 30-day average.” Ivy will translate your criteria into a live scan and return the results instantly.
