Notes about Trade-Ideas

I added Trade-Ideas container on the left sidebar, it brings you real time market alerts. There is some positive feedback on Trade-Ideas, so I wanted to try it out myself.

Hey, Mike. I’ve been using Trade-Ideas for about 1 week now. It’s been great. Integrates nicely with QuoteTracker. I create my own symbol lists and load them from a file each night based on a combination of TC2005, Wealth-Lab, and R batch scans. The Trade-Ideas Pro connection has dropped twice since I’ve been using them…and each time I was able to login to the web and check out the alert history for the day to catch any that I missed while Pro is down.

Overall, a great package. And the subscription costs are cheap compared to the few competitors out there.

Maximus,

I use eSignal for my real-time charts & TC2000 for my end-of-days scanning, note taking, watch lists, etc. I also have Metastock but I rarely use it.

Hi Mike. Just got a quick question on the type of software to use for charting. Can you recommend any? Metastock? THX

Ok. I guess you have to open an account to see pricing.

What does it cost? Either I’m overlooking that on the site or it must be expensive.

I just signed up for the pro version too. I’m tweaking away now.

Hi Mike,
I’m using the trade-ideas pro(downloadable version) now,it’s pretty sweet,makes it a lot easier to open multiple windows and gives you a little more real estate on the screen.The browser version took up too much room.I’m still tweaking the settings, but so far I like it.
P.S. thanks for the links
