What is Trade Ideas?
Trade Ideas is a real-time stock scanner that streams alerts on every trade, ranks the market with Top Lists, and generates buy and sell signals through its Holly AI engine. It has been serving active investors since 2002 and describes itself as self-funded and made in the USA.
Traders build scans from a library of more than 300 alerts and about 250 screener filters. They can backtest strategies with OddsMaker, paper trade, and automate execution through partner brokers such as Interactive Brokers and TradeStation. Holly AI signals include an entry point, a stop (usually about 3% from entry) and a re-entry point.
The product runs as TI Pro, a Windows application, and as a browser-based Web Dashboard. It suits day traders and active swing traders who want streaming market scanning and AI-generated trade ideas. Paid plans start at $89/month when billed annually.
