Answers to some recent questions!

Looking at the mail bag recently, here are some recent questions we've received:

1) What is your scanning method?

Trade Ideas takes a real time market data feed and constantly crunches volume, volatility, price, and percentages to arrive at many of our alerts. Our alerts strive for quality by filtering out random prints and noise from the data to arrive at a pattern worthy of an alert.

For example, Volume is one of the most important considerations in the alerts server. Without volume, how do you know that a price action is real? It is very common to see sudden spikes and retracements, where the price moves quickly, but only one trade was made at the extreme price. Statistical analysis is used to separate the real opportunities from the flukes.

2) How do you scan for stocks?

Using a powerful array of proprietary Statistical Analysis Servers, we crunch all of the data from our real time market data provider and then broadcast the results to our clients through a browser. Trade-Ideas is entirely web-based. All of the hard work is done in our data center. You do not need a powerful computer, a lot of memory, or even a high speed network connection to see all of the interesting events in the market. Our approach is simple, combine unparalleled analytics power with simplicity and ease of use.

3) What programs or tools do you use?

Trade-Ideas can work as a stand-alone application. Although we offer some integration with other products and services, we do not require you to have any other products or services.

As a way to enhance your existing tools, Trade-Ideas is designed to easily integrate with your existing tools that do not provide you with idea generation. We integrate with market data found throughout the internet. We also integrate with institutional and professional direct access trading platforms.

Take our link destination feature for example. The link destination allows the user to select what happens when s/he clicks on a stock symbol. The user can select from a list of standard links, or can create a custom link.
