Connors Research

What Connors Research does

Connors Research is a private quantitative trading research firm operating under The Connors Group, Inc. and publishing market strategies and edges since 1995. It serves high net worth individuals, professional trading desks, hedge funds, and proprietary trading firms, with a secondary retail trader audience that consumes its educational content. Its core offering is the Connors Research Traders Journal, a weekly publication delivering empirical trading research on stocks, ETFs, and options, supported by 20+ published books including AI For Traders, The Alpha Formula, Buy The Fear Sell The Greed, and Street Smarts. Underlying technology centers on quantified, systematic, rules-based strategies built on statistical validation, including the widely adopted 2-period RSI mean reversion model, the Quantamentals methodology that combines fundamental, technical, and quantitative analysis, and a proprietary library of millions of quantified algorithms. More recently the firm has launched ConnorsGPT, an AI-driven trading platform positioned as bringing institutional-quality market research, strategy optimization, and risk assessment to professional traders in real-time.

Broad incumbents

• Trading Central: Trading Central provides AI-augmented technical and quantitative research integrated directly into broker platforms globally — a large incumbent offering overlapping capabilities to Connors Research's strategy optimization and AI-driven research via ConnorsGPT, but at a much larger institutional scale.
• Chaikin Analytics: Chaikin Analytics provides quantitative stock research, ratings, and portfolio tools for active traders — a long-established incumbent in the retail/professional quant-research category where Connors Research also competes for HNW and professional subscribers.
• VectorVest: VectorVest is a long-standing quantitative stock-research and rating system sold via subscription to retail and HNW investors — comparable to Connors Research in its systematic, rules-based approach and subscriber-funded business model, but with broader multi-decade retail distribution.
• Dorsey Wright (Nasdaq): Now part of Nasdaq, Dorsey Wright offers systematic relative-strength and point-and-figure ETF/stock research with broad institutional and retail distribution — a larger, well-capitalized incumbent that competes with Connors Research's systematic and momentum-based methodologies at scale.

Others

• StockCharts.com: StockCharts.com is a charting, technical-analysis platform with a large content/education library aimed at active traders — not a direct competitor but an adjacent ecosystem player whose free and paid technical content competes for the same self-directed trader audience Connors Research targets.

Direct peers

• Quantifiable Edges: Quantifiable Edges is a subscription-based quantitative trading research service publishing data-driven edges on stocks, ETFs, and options — directly comparable to Connors Research's Traders Journal in product, audience (active traders), and statistical-validation approach.
• Topdown Charts: Topdown Charts publishes systematic, technical and macro-driven trading research for active investors — a direct peer in content-driven, subscriber-funded quant/technical research with overlapping customer base among self-directed traders.
• Abnormal Alpha: Abnormal Alpha publishes quant-based stock research and short-term trading strategies for retail and professional traders, closely overlapping Connors Research's systematic, edge-driven methodology and newsletter-style delivery model.
• TradingMarkets: TradingMarkets is a quant trading research and education platform that both distributes Connors Research's books and operates overlapping content/research businesses — making it the closest direct peer in published quant research, newsletter publishing, and educational trading content.

Emerging players

• AlphaSquared: AlphaSquared is an emerging AI-driven analytics platform producing stock and ETF research for active traders — overlapping with Connors Research's quantamental, AI-augmented research positioning but as a younger, technology-first entrant.
