Ep. 4 - Layout Styles

There’s a lot of noise in the markets. And you’ve probably already noticed a lot of bells & whistles on TI Pro. The firehose of real-time information can easily and quickly become overwhelming.

One way to overcome this sensory onslaught is to build your own custom layout that has only the specific data and tools you want to pay attention to -- and nothing else.

Before you get started with your own layout, watch this episode to find out, which style suits you best.

Ep. 5 - Free Floating Layout

97.3% of all Trade Ideas customers [totally made up number] eventually build their own custom layouts which allows them to FOCUS.

One way to build a custom layout is to start completely from scratch. A clean slate.

If you've determined that free-floating is your style, this episode will show you how to get there. If you'd like to create a docked layout, head straight to the next episode.

Ep. 7 - Important Intro to Scans

There are nearly 8,000 publicly traded stocks in North America. How can one possibly track them all?

Wouldn’t it be great to have a real-time watch list that only feeds you stocks that meet very specific criteria that you deem to be important to you?

You’re gonna love our Top Lists!

Traders who patiently await the right conditions to enter a trade are likely to be more successful than those who have no concept of waiting.

Problem is, how can we possibly keep up-to-the-second on every stock you want to trade that might be hitting your entry trigger?

Thankfully you don’t have to. Enter: the Trade Ideas Alert Window.

Ep. 8 - Top List Window (Scan)

Ok, so you’ve seen the power of Top Lists in action on a variety of Channels. Now you’d like to harness this power to your own unique ideas.

Yes! Now you get it!

Watch this episode to find out how to build your very own Top List Window!

Ep. 9 - Alert Window (Scan)

Good news! You’ve already built your first Top List in Episode 8, which means you can easily figure out how to build an Alert Window.

The same mechanics apply, only there’s one very significant additional step early in the process -- you need to add an Alert which triggers a notification!

#ProTip: in the config window, Alerts will show one icon next to the name of the alert, while filters will show two icons (one aqua, one purple) next to the name of the filter.

Ep. 10 - Intro to Charts

By now you've probably already come across charts in TI Pro. There are charts on nearly every channel in the Channel Bar.

Need additional charts? Want to explore some additional time frames? Want to have a static chart set to only show you a certain stock or ETF? All of this and more is available.

Watch this episode to get a good idea of what our charts can do for you!
