JMN Technical Research · Institutional

Most desks prepare overnight.
Yours wakes up prepared.

We close the gap — invisibly, overnight, to your standard.

Every morning note, weekly update, and monthly book published under your name — built overnight by a named CMT® charterholder who has spent months learning how your desk thinks, writes, and presents. Indistinguishable from your own team's work. That is the standard. It has not changed since 2005.

How it started
A senior US research director was waking up at 3am to prepare for his 6:50am meeting.

A Managing Director at a major US investment bank conducted a daily morning meeting at 6:50am. To prepare, he was waking up at 3am to coordinate research with a team in another time zone. JMN solved that.

Research on desk before the 6:50am morning meeting — every day
Same named analyst. Same standards. Same template. Year one through year ten.
60–70% reduction in cost and time investment — as reported in the editorial

Who we serve

Built for institutional desks.
Not short-term traders.

JMN works exclusively with institutional research desks — not retail platforms, not short-term trading services. Every output is designed for informed institutional investors, published under your name, to your standard.

01
Technical Research Desks
Tier I and Tier II investment banks with dedicated technical research teams who need coverage extension, production support, or specific asset class depth their own team cannot provide at current headcount.
02
Buy-Side Research Teams
Asset managers, hedge funds, and institutional investors who want technical analysis as a systematic overlay on their fundamental process — delivered before the open, in their portfolio format, for PM-ready use.
03
Regional & Boutique Banks
Institutions that want a full technical research capability published under their own brand — without building and staffing an internal desk. JMN as the invisible technical research team, entirely under your name.
The time zone advantage

You send the brief at 8pm.
We confirm before you wake.

Chennai is 10.5 hours ahead of New York. While your desk sleeps, JMN works. Morning notes, ideas lists, portfolio reviews, pitch books — built overnight, confirmed before you open your laptop. You walk in ready to present. Not ready to prepare.

How we work with your desk

We learn your style.
Then we work in it.

We do not manage your desk. We extend it — invisibly, to your standard, under your name. The first months are spent learning how you think. The years that follow are spent working in that style, augmented by 15 years of professional technical experience.

What we learn from you
Your rhythm.
Your language.
Your framework.
Which indicators you weight most heavily — and why
How you frame a primary trend call in writing
Your chart style — bar, candlestick, P&F, line
The rhythm of your weekly and monthly publications
Your house vocabulary — what you call a setup, a signal, a confirmation
The standard your MD holds the morning note to
What we bring regardless
15 years.
CMT® discipline.
Institutional depth.
Rigorous multi-framework analysis — not single-indicator views
Professional-grade chart work to institutional sell-side standard
Breadth and inter-market context that most desks underweight
Medium to long-term trend focus — we serve informed investors, not traders
Named dedicated analyst who owns your account — not a pool
Unbroken delivery through every market crisis — 2008, 2015, 2020

I have been asked the same question by every new institutional client for fifteen years: can you guarantee the morning note will be there before my 7am meeting? The answer has been yes, every time, for fifteen years — without a single exception.
