What is Marley Analytics?
Marley Analytics is a boutique firm created by Ben Marley. It specializes in premium and custom analytical reports, specifically using quantitative methodologies used in traditional finance.
What’s so special about the quantitative models?
The quantitative models used are developed specifically for the project in question and delivered directly to you. Contrary to currently available models, these are obviously not widely available to the general public or anyone else but the purchaser, and are proprietary and developed in-house using the latest statistical techniques.
If you are investing thousands of dollars into an investment, it may behoove you to spend a small percentage of that on reports that may help you avoid losing it all. Certainly, any intended investment amount at or above a thousand dollars into a particular investment should justify a look at these services.
Why is there not more emphasis on technical indicators?
For Tier 3 purchases, a brief technical analysis page will be provided in the report which will cover the selected project at a longer (ie generally monthly) time-frame using the most important metrics. However, generally the analysis provided within these reports of all Tiers is intended to rely on past statistical data as well as sound modeling methodologies.
For cryptocurrencies specifically, the space does not have a dearth of technical analysis. There are many YouTube and Twitter accounts that provide high quality information in this field, such as from, most notably, Bob Loukas and Benjamin Cowen. Additional up-and-comers are also available and there are some I would recommend if asked. Combined with sound fundamental analysis the focus is to provide a comprehensive framework that is largely beyond the reach of technical analysis.
What if I’m not familiar with cryptocurrencies at all? How can I start to gain an understanding?
Having access to new investments is indeed exciting, but if these investments have overweight risk or are even outright scams—which, in this space, is entirely possible—it may oftentimes be best if you never had access at all. You may over-invest by investing in one shiny project after the next, and it may become difficult to exercise prudent risk-management. While this initial excitement is good, it must be heavily weighted with due caution due to the intricacies and history of this novel space.
If you’re unfamiliar with cryptocurrency investments, the first place you want to start is understanding Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH). One of the best places to begin exploring cryptocurrencies is Market Capitalization sites like CoinMarketCap.com, CoinGecko.com, or Nomics.com.
I also have a YouTube channel which goes over many fundamentals of cryptocurrency investing which focuses on and covers some fundamentals — particularly in terms of thinking and grounding yourself prior to investing, and my philosophy on cryptocurrency. I will also cover selected cryptocurrencies and go deeper into them. Beyond this, I would recommend the YouTube channel CoinBureau as one of the best places to learn about cryptocurrency investing.
The services provided here are for those who both want to dip their toes into the field of cryptocurrencies, as well as for those who may already be familiar somewhat, but who want more reassurance or grounding. After all, money is at stake. Crypto Twitter, YouTube influencers, and Technical Analysis may be useful (to gauge sentiment, get the latest news, or suss out a trend), but they will only get you so far. Crypto Twitter and YouTube influencers can easily skew their perspective in order to influence their followers one way or another, but what’s even more unsettling is that this misleading activity is even possible via charts, as some projects may receive “insider pumps (or purchases)” making them look far more attractive than they are. What’s missing is fundamental analysis to determine long-term longevity of the project, and proven, quantitative analysis to provide context to any decision-making process.
If I already know about cryptocurrency research, will this help me?
This will help experienced investors in cryptocurrency as well as those with little to no understanding. For those familiar with cryptocurrencies and research in this space, the qualitative sections will guide them to a more thorough, deeper understanding of their favorite project, whilst the quantitative and statistical analytics provided will assist them in understanding their cryptocurrency using bespoke quantitative modeling most often seen in traditional financial applications. Both of these will lend depth to their knowledge. For those who may or may not have experience in quantitative modeling and are newer to cryptocurrencies, the reports will assist them in understanding the fundamental metrics and drivers behind cryptocurrencies.
Can you please explain the time frame?
Standard delivery deadline is generally 5 business days, but they may come earlier depending on workload and scheduling. For example, if you request a report on a Friday at 3pm EST with a 5 business day delivery window, you can expect the report to be delivered between the time you requested and Friday at 3pm EST the following week.
What if I can’t wait for a report and need it sooner?
If you need a report sooner, please contact me, as special requests may be accommodated. Please note that accommodations for faster turnarounds may not be available, and if available, they may require additional expense.
What if there are multiple projects with the same ticker?
If there may be any confusion, please try to be as specific as possible in the “Name & Ticker” box above checkout options.
I want to pay by cryptocurrency. How can I do so?
At this time, due solely to technical reasons, cryptocurrency payments are not supported but will be added in future website updates.
Is there a refund policy?
Because the reports are provided as a service and delivery of a final product, there is no refund policy. If you think you’ve made a mistake with something you’ve requested, please use the contact page as soon as possible — depending on when I am contacted, changes to the final report may not be possible.
What if I’d like to contact you directly before purchasing?
You can contact me using the contact form above and I will try to address any concerns or questions you may have. Additionally, we may set up a call to discuss the service both before and after if you have further questions after receiving your reports.
Additionally, please download a Tier 3 Report Demo File (password is “open”) in order to better understand the services we provide.
Further questions? Feel free to reach out to me via our contact form.
