Trade Ideas
A configurable platform for real-time stock scanning, alerts, charting, paper trading, and AI-assisted signals.
About Trade Ideas
Trade Ideas is a subscription platform for active stock traders who need real-time scanning, configurable alerts, charting, paper trading, and brokerage-connected execution in one workspace. Its scanners continuously surface stocks that match user-defined conditions, while Stock Races and dynamic Top Lists make momentum easier to compare as markets move. Premium adds AI-generated entry and exit signals, backtesting, smart risk levels, and tools such as TI Wave. It suits traders who can act on fast-moving market data and are willing to learn a dense desktop workflow. Trade Ideas Pro is designed for Windows; Mac users need a virtualization product or a cloud-hosted Windows environment. Individual pricing starts at Basic costs $127 monthly or $1,068 annually, while Premium costs $254 monthly or $2,136 annually. Paper trading and in-app trading help users test and execute workflows, but signals remain decision support rather than a guarantee of trading results.

Features
Find real-time momentum
Use Stock Races, dynamic Top Lists, and streaming alerts during market hours to identify stocks that meet selected momentum conditions, compare movement in real time, and focus attention on triggered events.
Test a trading approach
Use real-time paper trading to rehearse scanner-to-order workflows without committing capital. Premium users can also backtest a strategy and review its historical behavior before deciding whether to use it live.
Act on AI signals
Review AI-generated entry and exit ideas together with smart risk levels, then decide whether to send an order through a supported in-app trading workflow. The signal informs the decision but does not guarantee a result.
Pros
- Real-time scanners and streaming alerts reduce the need to refresh lists manually.
- Paper trading and in-app trading keep testing and execution in a connected workflow.
- Premium combines AI signals, backtesting, and risk levels for strategy review.
Cons
- Basic costs $127 per month, which may be difficult to justify for occasional traders.
- Trade Ideas Pro is Windows software, so Mac users need paid virtualization or a cloud Windows setup.
- The number of scanners, layouts, and signal tools creates a meaningful learning curve.
