Holly A.I.
This is the channel that brings you to our Virtual Trading Assistant, Holly. Holly will begin making alerts as early as 9:35am Est and continue throughout the day.

All alerts from Holly will have a series of different exit parameters, all of which you can learn more about in our Full Holly Guide here: https://www.trade-ideas.com/hollyguide/
TI Trader Eye
This Channel has curated stock ideas from the Traders and educators of TI. None of the ideas should be taken as advice, but used more as a guide into what we as swing traders are looking for in our own personal setups. The Ideas generated here are held on a server side symbols list, and are intended to be a hold of a day or more. As some friendly advice, if the cookies are on the table take them (Jamie Hodge) meaning if you find yourself using this channel and in some winning positions don’t be afraid to take profits! Additionally this channel is not intended to be a substitute for a trading plan, and every trader should have their own personal plan before entering a trade!

NFT/Crypto
This channel does not provide data on Bitcoin pricing or NFT’s, but looks at ways to play the Crypto and Blockchain security space through traditional equities markets. There is more than one way to skin a cat as they say, and this is a way to skin that $BTC without actually owning it.

Premarket
This channel comes to life via Top lists (Gappers) and a Multi-strategy window at 4:00am EST and charts from 4:00 am EST with a set of scans showing stocks that are on the early move up and down from the previous day's close, giving traders a chance to participate in this time frame’s market action and also prepare for what will be on the move at the open.
Stocks I Like
This channel displays a simple top list (T Window) with the symbols you have “liked” by clicking the Heart in the chart. The heart option is available in every chart so that people that like what they see can ‘like’ much like they do posts or other things in social media. This channel becomes your custom fingerprint to the market as the only things that will appear in it are things YOU have actually liked! There is also an alert window with a conglomerate of selected alerts so you can see what alerts these tracked stocks have met on the day. Please note, that when you hover the cursor over the heart you have clicked, it will display the date and time you “liked it” so you can keep track of the progress of that ticker since it was liked.
Stocks Surging
The scans in this channel are set up with some of the same high volume filters as the earlier channels, but here they have not traded as many shares when the volume surges come in, the point is trying to catch these moves early as they may just be starting to heat up. The Multi strategy window in this channel also does this on a multitude of time frames, from intra day highs to 52 week highs, giving time frames day traders and swing traders alike can use.
MOMO-MENTUM
The scans in this channel are designed for the pure momentum traders. You have New Highs on big volume, you have Low float, and one of our most popular Multi-strategy windows, Extreme Master Blaster. It has 5 Strategies, giving traders a choice in price range and float.
Squeeze Me
This channel and its scans focus on Stocks with high short float interest that are off their lows of the year, while at the same time near short term positions in range highs that might have the shorts scrambling to cover their trades giving fuel to the uptrend that has already begun. These Top lists combined with an Alert window that has some volume spike alerts can give that quick “short squeeze” pop we all long to be a part of.
Swing Ideas
Not all of us can sit around all day every day watching scans and charts. That is where this channel comes in.

The Multi Strategy in this channel is also utilizing this symbols list while having all of the strategies enabled to find what banks are moving in what direction and what support, resistance, crosses, and volume are involved in these moves.
China
As the second largest economy in the world, how could we not pay attention to China? We keep the theme here of Top lists with symbols lists focused on all things China and use the column sort as we have in the past for different displays of the data. The Multi strategy window here is as well utilizing the same symbols list while deploying all of its strategies for an all hands on deck approach of alerts in any and all directions.

From stocks that are well above a recent high or low, to stocks making big moves before or after regular hours, traders can find it all here!
Fundamentals
While Trade-Ideas is primarily focused on technical analysis, we are not ignorant to the importance of the fundamentals.The Top lists in this channel carefully use a mix of volume (technical indicator) with fundamental indicators like PE, EPS and Income for the fundamentals, adding yet one more dynamic to any traders scan arsenal.
Penny Movers

Combined with an Alert window showing direction of these movements traders will never be caught off guard.

Here we use symbols lists pointed at the Top lists and Multi Strategy windows looking at everything from Oil, to electricity to coal, even with alternative energy on the rise these titans still play a role in everyday life and their ability to move markets. These are the scans that traders can use to follow these big movers.
Unusual Options
In this channel each Top list has a set of options filters that match with the titles of said Top list utilizing our calls, puts and options contracts filters, sorting this data accordingly for display. The Multi Strategy Window here has 6 different strategies that use these filters for options as well as relative volume filters, and New Daily High and New Daily Low Alerts to show the movement of these options plays with different options and contract volume.
Tech Titans

Infastructure
Using the symbols list pointed at one bullish and one bearish Top list we look at the stocks that are building anything from new homes to new highways, and fixing both and anything in between.

Live Trading Chat Room
Clicking this will bring you to our Live YouTube feed that Barrie starts at 9am est. One of our educators takes over at 12pm est for an hour-long live Q&A before turning it back over to Barrie. Again at 3:30pm Est, Chris Varley hosts open forum Q&A’s Monday’s, Wednesday’s and Friday’s. Tuesday’s and Thursday’s He hosts Getting started webinars going over the Very basics, these webinars are as well hosted on Zoom. Send us an email for a registration link. Here is where Traders and new users can come to have live demonstrations of the questions iching their brains!
Metals
Here we “dig in” to all things coming directly from the ground via the miners and the actual metals themselves (Gold, Silver, Iron Ore, etc.). We stick with the Top lists and the Multi Strategy windows that work and keep a laser focus on the stocks in this sector making the most noise.
Social Sentiment
Scans in this Channel are for those “in the know” They look for stocks that are being actively traded and are a buzz on the stock world's social networks. All of the scans are showing stocks with high activity and interests (based on Social Media “Mentions”) in the well above what they are normally discussed.
Wall Street Bets Stocks
Note: Trade Ideas is not affiliated or associated with Wall Street Bets or Reddit. This channel is simply looking at the SAME STOCKS that are being discussed on Wall Street Bets. Primarily this channel focuses on Game Stop GME, AMC, and Black Berry as well as other stocks that are Heavily Shorted by Hedge Funds. Hedge Funds often take large short positions, borrowing stocks they don't own and selling them in hopes of buying them back at a much lower price. Sometimes their aim is to drive the stock price to zero. When Hedge Funds make a mistake in their short bet, it drives the stock price of the shorted stock MUCH HIGHER. This channel is highlighting these specific stocks. It is similar in many ways to our Short Squeeze channel, but focuses on the main stocks in discussion on Wall street Bets.
Volume
With two Top lists, one focusing on big thrusts of volume combined with change from open and change from close filter, the other looking at high 5 day average volume, these scans keep these highly liquid stocks in focus. The Multi Strategy window here, uses price filters combined with gargantuan 1 and 5 minute volume filter values to show what is really popping to new highs on the day. These are some of the fastest moving stocks on the day!
