Tradesight’s roots go back to 1998 as an e-mail only newsletter. It was mailed out daily and included certain stocks with long and short ideas and triggers. By the year 2000, the newsletter was sent to over 3000 people daily.

In 2002, Tradesight became a subscription-based website. The newsletter was enhanced to include market overviews, trade reviews, educational analysis, and more detailed picks. All work at the time was done by Tradesight’s founder, Chris Mercer.

In 2004, several things occurred that added to Tradesight’s offerings. Rich Derrick came on-board as an analyst, bringing his more active daytrading approach to the service via a new Trading Lab. Rich’s background at the New York Institute of Finance proved invaluable as a resource to Tradesight subscribers. In addition, in July of 2004, the Tradesight Forex service was added to provide insight and calls to that emerging market.

In 2005, Mark Likos left his Firetraders chat room and came over to Tradesight to work full-time. He brought his expertise, in addition to a refined version of his daily Likos Futures and Forex Levels. Tradesight services expanded to live coverage round the clock in all of the covered markets, providing real-time thoughts and commentary from various analysts throughout the day.

Since 2005, Tradesight has been working daily to improve results for traders. Our core philosophy is “education first.” In 2012, we added the option to deliver our information via private Twitter feeds to give subscribers a more mobile solution for using our trade calls and market analysis. In 2014, we completely revised our educational modules and turned them into 6-month mentorship programs. This allowed us to provide a “hands-on” approach to educating traders that has been a massive success.
