About Sergio Ávila
Market experience turned into a clear process
My work combines technical and fundamental analysis, reading the context, risk management and portfolio construction. The aim is not to guess the market, but to understand it better and decide with a process you can repeat.
My background brings together proprietary trading, professional analysis, training and financial education. That experience underpins both the analysis I publish and the Mercados Pro tools.

Frequently asked questions
Before you start
Straight answers on the tools, access and the scope of the service.
What is Mercados Pro?
It is Sergio Ávila Bolsa’s set of tools: Institutional Radar to read context, flows and risk; Intraday Trading to find rule-based opportunities; and the Investment League to test your process with simulated portfolios.
Which tool fits me best?
Institutional Radar is for market analysis and portfolio construction; Intraday Trading is for the European and US sessions; and the Investment League is for practising and comparing a simulated portfolio.
Can I use it if I do not live in Spain?
Yes. Radar and the League do not depend on a time zone. Intraday Trading covers the European and US sessions. Prices are charged in euros; on Plans you will see an approximate US dollar equivalent.
Does the content guarantee results or replace financial advice?
No. The tools and analysis are for information and education. They do not guarantee returns and they do not replace personalised financial advice.
