Trade Ideas: AI stock scanning and signal software for active traders

Trade Ideas LLC is a US software publisher whose platform combines a real-time stock scanner, AI-generated buy and sell signals, backtesting and simulated trading in a single environment. The company presents its product as aimed at beginners, active day traders and long-term investors alike, and states that its features are designed to work together: find a stock with the scanner, test the idea, then trade it manually, in simulation or through automation.

The site describes Trade Ideas as a publisher and states that no content constitutes a recommendation that any particular investment, security, portfolio, transaction or investment strategy is suitable for any specific person, adding that trading carries substantial risk and is not for every investor.

Scanner, alerts and momentum detection

The core of the platform is a real-time stock scanner and screener that surfaces stocks as they move. Around it the company groups several tools:

• Stock Races, presented as a momentum detection system that highlights potential breakouts and trend reversals before the wider market reacts.
• Streaming alerts, a Top List and a live chart displayed together on one screen inside TI Pro.
• Channel Bar, a set of ready-made themed channels that show live alerts and top lists without manual configuration, included with TI Pro on every plan.
• Unlimited watchlists and multi-strategy windows, available across TI Pro plans.

AI signals: Holly, TI Wave and Money Machine

Trade Ideas markets several distinct AI components. Holly is described as a virtual trading assistant that issues buy and sell signals with entry and exit points in real time and, according to the company, requires no setup. TI Wave is an adaptive AI tool for recognising market patterns and delivering timed signals through visual cues. Money Machine, labelled the second-generation Trade Ideas AI, is presented as holding long positions in the top three momentum-based stocks at $5,000 per position, exiting only when a stock drops out of that top three and entering only when a stock enters it.

The site lists recent Holly signals with their price moves, including SDEV from $1.55 to $6.15 (+297.16%), CYPH from $1.42 to $3.20 (+125.01%), QMCO from $16.38 to $31.74 (+93.77%) and VNCE from $6.58 to $10.55 (+60.33%). These are individual examples shown in the company's own presentation, not a track record of overall performance.

Backtesting, simulation and risk tools

OddsMaker is the backtesting component: it lets users score a trading plan against historical data to see what would have worked. Simulated Trading, described as risk-free strategy development, uses live market data so users can refine a strategy before committing real money. TI Premium adds OddsMaker, Money Machine, Holly AI Signals, Smart Risk Levels and the RBI/GBI windows on top of the standard TI Pro feature set.

Plans, free access and broker integrations

TI Pro is the desktop application and ships with both paid tiers, referred to on the pricing page as TI Standard (The Core) and TI Premium (The Apex). A free account gives access to the Web Dashboard in the browser along with tools, scans and dashboards, and the company also offers a free weekly email of AI signals.

Trade Ideas states that its technology is used by brokers and trading platforms, and the site names several integrations: TradeStation, for executing equities and options orders directly from Trade Ideas; CenterPoint Securities, whose CenterPoint Edge programme offers free access to Trade Ideas and which also serves Canadian residents; and Cobra Trading, aimed at competitive day traders with direct access routing and multiple locate sources.

Company background and recognition

The company reports that its subscribers finished June having traded 63 million shares. It also states that it was named to the Inc. 5000 list of the fastest-growing privately held companies in the United States for four consecutive years (2017–2020), and elsewhere on the site for six consecutive years (2017–2022); the two figures appear in different sections of the material. Trade Ideas describes its product as made 100% in the USA.

Educational resources and trading room

Beyond the software, the site lists a Trading Room, educational webinars, trading eBooks, a trading glossary, a knowledgebase, a blog and a newsletter called Trade of the Week, alongside a learning centre and a section of trading resources. A partner and affiliate programme is also advertised.
