Methodology and data sources

Which provider supplies every number you see on the site, how often it refreshes, and where the limits of that data are.

This page exists so you can answer a reasonable question before trusting any number on the site: where did that data come from?

Where the data comes 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.

How often it updates

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.

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.

What the site does with that data

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.

What the site does NOT do

How I choose what goes into the portfolio

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.

I have been investing for seven years, and 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.

1. That people are actually using it

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.

2. A sustained Williams %R over a three-month window

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.

3. That the ceiling is far away

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.

4. That the board makes sense

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 official portfolio

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.

Errors

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.

What is 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.
