Who writes this, how he looks at the market, where the data comes from, and in what capacity he publishes.
Inside Wall Street (IWS) is a website and channel covering US stocks, cryptocurrencies and bonds. Its official website is insidewallstreet.cl. It publishes charts, company fundamentals, news and financial education.
I am Alex. At Inside Wall Street, I share analysis and explain how I follow companies, their industries and market data. Much of the market analysis is written for people who already speak the language. Translating it — not just the words, but the jargon into plain English — is what I do.
I do not rely on technical analysis alone, or on fundamental analysis alone. I start by understanding an industry or a sector: what people are really using, what is replacing what, and why.
That is the underlying difference. Indicators and financial statements help me confirm or rule out an idea, never to originate it. A company can have spotless numbers and be losing relevance — that takes years to show up in the financials, and it shows up on the street first.
The full criteria, with the four filters I apply before buying anything, is explained below, under Methodology and data sources.
The site is one part of this. The daily conversation happens on social, where I post analysis, portfolio updates and whatever I am watching each week:
And the WhatsApp group, which is where the community asks and comments live.
I publish what I do with my own money. The official channel portfolio shows real positions, with their entry price and their target — including the ones that went badly, because a portfolio where everything works out teaches nobody anything.
Inside Wall Street does not provide personalized investment advice. Nothing I publish is a recommendation: it is an account of my own decisions, based on my knowledge of the industries I invest in and on my professional background. If you are going to invest, the decision and the risk are yours. It is all spelled out in the legal notice.
This page exists so you can answer a reasonable question before trusting any number on the site: where did that data come from?
InsideWallStreet.cl does not produce its own market data. Everything you see comes from third-party financial data providers — specialized platforms that consolidate information from the exchanges — and the site simply requests it, organizes it and displays it in plain English. The only exception is the official channel portfolio, which comes from a spreadsheet of our own.
| What data | Where you see it on the site |
|---|---|
| Prices, daily change, highs and lows | Index bar, portfolio, price cards |
| Premarket and after-hours prices | Analysis |
| Price history and events (dividends, splits, earnings) | Comparison charts |
| Analyst ratings and price target | Fundamentals |
| Earnings history and EPS surprises | Fundamentals |
| Quarterly financial statements | Fundamentals |
| Insider transactions | Fundamentals |
| Rating upgrades and downgrades | Fundamentals |
| Market sentiment | Fundamentals |
| Interactive chart | Analysis |
| Official channel portfolio | Home |
Each type of data has its own cache time, chosen according to how fast it actually changes. A price moves every second; a financial statement, every three months. Requesting them at the same rate would burn API quota for nothing.
| Data | Refreshes every |
|---|---|
| Live prices | 15 seconds |
| Market sentiment | 5 minutes |
| Official channel portfolio | 1 to 2 minutes |
| Historical charts | 5 minutes |
| Upcoming earnings | 30 minutes |
| News | 30 minutes |
| Insider transactions | 1 hour |
| Ratings, price target, earnings history | 6 hours |
| Financial statements and valuation multiples | 12 hours |
Nothing on this site is an execution-quality real-time price. The data arrives delayed relative to the exchange and can contain provider errors. It is there to help you understand and compare, not to trade against.
Very little, on purpose. The numbers are shown as they arrive from the provider; the site does not recalculate or "adjust" them.
The only changes are presentational: reformatting the numbers, translating the labels into plain English, calculating the percentage change between the recorded purchase price and the current price, and grouping data the provider delivers separately onto a single screen.
This part is not about the site: it is about me. I write it here so you can judge the criteria, not so you can copy them.
My starting point is neither technical nor fundamental analysis, but understanding an industry: what people use, what is replacing what, and why. The indicators come later, to confirm or rule out — never to originate the idea.
When a company interests me, I look at four things.
This is the main filter and the one that carries the most weight. Before opening a balance sheet I look at real adoption: whether the product is growing in use, whether it solves something that used to be solved worse, whether the whole industry is moving in that direction. A company can have spotless numbers and be losing relevance; that takes years to show up in the financials, and it shows up on the street first.
Williams %R is a momentum oscillator: it compares the current close with the range between the high and the low of a period. It moves between 0 and −100. Near 0 means the price is closing in the upper part of its range — there is demand. Near −100, in the lower part — there is selling pressure.
What I am looking for is not one day's value. An isolated spike says nothing: any bounce produces one. I want it to hold in strength territory for about three months. That window filters out the noise of one-off news and covers a full quarterly reporting cycle, so it tells apart a company with steady demand from one that had a good week.
Runway means how much room is left ahead. I am interested in companies whose market is expanding, not the ones just defending what they already have. A solid company in a shrinking industry is a good business and a bad investment.
I look at who is sitting on the board and whether they have real experience in that industry or are just filler names. Also whether they have their own money in it: a board with an equity stake makes different decisions than one that collects a fee and leaves. And finally, that the thesis is consistent with what is happening right now — regulation, rates, the sector's cycle. A good idea at the wrong time behaves like a bad idea.
None of these four filters is a formula, and none of them has a score. This is the criteria I use to move my own money, published so you know where I am speaking from. It can be wrong, and sometimes it is — that is why the portfolio also shows the trades that went badly.
The portfolio on the home page reflects real positions, with their entry price and their price target, and it lives in a spreadsheet of our own that the site reads directly.
It is published to show the whole process — including the trades that go wrong — not as a list to copy. Whoever publishes it has a financial interest in those positions; that conflict is disclosed in the legal notice.
If you find a number that does not add up, write to us from Contact and tell us which page you saw it on. Errors that come from the provider cannot always be fixed, but they can be flagged on the site.
The focus is the United States market: stocks, cryptocurrencies, Treasury bonds and the indices that move everything else. Local exchanges of individual countries are not covered, because the audience is spread across Latin America and Spain and what they do have in common is what trades in New York.
If you are starting out, the entry point is the guide on how to invest in the US stock market from any country: what you need to open an account, what the W-8BEN form is, what currency conversion really costs, and what the United States taxes a non-resident on.
It is a market analysis site and channel focused on the US stock market, cryptocurrencies and bonds. It publishes live charts, stock fundamentals, a glossary of market terms and written analysis. The content is educational and is not financial advice.
Yes. All the content is aimed at investors trading the US market from other countries. Prices, fundamentals and analysis all cover assets listed in the United States.
Charts and indicators update continuously during the market session. The data sources, refresh times and limitations are documented in the methodology section on this page.
