About Mosaic Trader
By the time a stock shows up on CNBC or lands on an analyst's "buy" list, the best part of its move is often over. Mosaic Trader spots the signal before it becomes a story.
Every day, millions of software developers publish code and contribute to open-source projects on GitHub. When developers "star" (bookmark) or "fork" (copy) a project, it's a sign of real interest. It's the equivalent of a professional vote of confidence.
That activity leaves a data trail most of Wall Street completely ignores. We don't.
Mosaic Trader's proprietary Shadow Data Indicator ("SDI") monitors GitHub data in real time. When a public company's core technology shows sustained, accelerating developer adoption, our system triggers a buy signal.
That adoption eventually turns into paying customers, enterprise contracts, and revenue growth. And that pushes the company's share price up.
By tracking – and acting on – this alternative data while it's still in Wall Street's blind spot, we can get in before those big share-price moves.
Editor Josh Baylin has spent his career spotting technological inflection points before the crowd can. Mosaic Trader is the culmination of that experience, powered by a quantitative system that detects real developer momentum, enters with discipline, and exits without emotion.

Josh Baylin, a research analyst with Stansberry Research, has been covering technology since the days when flip phones were a status symbol and dial-up modems chirped their digital songs.
Today, at MarketWise, Josh is guiding individual investors through the greatest technological shift of our lifetime – the rise of artificial intelligence.
Having built and deployed these systems himself, he knows how to identify which companies will win the AI wars... which automation plays will deliver real returns... which technologies are revolutionizing entire industries... and which stocks are just hype.
Josh's career began with Bloomberg News in Washington, D.C. There, he covered the intersection of technology and public policy, what he describes as the "clash between innovation and regulation."
From there, he moved on to become an analyst and investor at Legg Mason and S.A.C. Capital. During that time, he invested in the companies that built our digital infrastructure –the wireless phones, networks, software platforms, and gaming ecosystems that now define modern life.
He has also helped Fortune 100 companies reimagine their operations through Robotics Process Automation ("RPA"), data analytics, and visualization systems that streamlined business processes and optimized critical supply chains.
As the vice president of product, marketing, and analytics at Brain Corp, Josh helped build up a small robotics company into an industry leader. During his time at Brain, the company expanded its autonomous mobile robot fleet and created data products that made it indispensable to the largest retailers in the world.
Over a more than 20-year career that has taken him from Washington, D.C. to Wall Street to Silicon Valley, Josh has pursued a singular mission: transforming how organizations see, understand, and act on their data.
Between ventures, you'll find him walking Bandon Dunes' clifftop fairways or building the future of golf technology. He lives in Cardiff-by-the-Sea, California with his wife Margaret and son Isaac, where Pacific sunsets remind him daily that the best innovations, like the best waves, are worth waiting for.
