Trade Ideas review
Trade Ideas is a real-time US stock scanner: it watches the whole market and alerts you when a stock meets the conditions you choose (sharp moves, unusual volume, breakouts). Its expensive plan adds Holly, an AI that suggests trades every day, and the option to let it trade on its own in your broker. It has been around for many years and is used mainly by stock day traders.
We read its pricing page and website, and 43 of its 46 Trustpilot reviews.
What it offers
- Custom scans and screeners with over 500 data points for building alerts.
- Real-time alerts, up to 10 charts and customisable layouts.
- Paper trading and trading from inside the app with partner brokers.
- Premium plan: AI signals with risk levels, backtesting and auto trading.
- A live trading room and training videos.

| Premium | $254 | $2,136 ($178 a month) |
Source: Trade Ideas pricing page, checked on 9 October 2026. Its website shows yearly billing and how much it saves over monthly; the monthly price comes from that. Some users mention a cheap paid trial ("Test Drive"), but it does not appear on its pricing page.
What users say
It scores 3.8 out of 5 on Trustpilot, from 46 reviews. Our review analysis above breaks it down.
- The best: the scanner, very complete, and the trading room.
- The worst: technical bugs, a dated look and a high price for what some brokers give for free.
- The AI divides opinion: some love it and others say it loses most trades.
- Watch the score: in July 2026 many five-star reviews arrived within a few days, almost all from new accounts.
For prop firms
Trade Ideas only covers US stocks, and almost every prop firm offers forex, indices or futures. For a prop firm trader it has no practical use.
Verdict
Trade Ideas is a veteran, powerful tool for finding stocks on the move, and its loyal users would not switch. But it is expensive, technically uneven, and outside US stocks it is no use.
Who it is for: US stock day traders looking for a highly configurable scanner.
Who it is not for: forex, index or futures prop firm traders.
Alternatives
- Finviz: stock screener, with a free plan.

3.8 Trustpilot score
3.2 Based on what they say
Features 3.8
Its real-time stock scanner is the most valued part by long-time users. Holly, its signals AI, divides opinion: some love it and others say it loses most trades.
See review
★★★★★“Their Holly AI engine is very weak. I don't see the 60% success they tout.”
Reliability 2.8
Technical complaints are serious: screens with no data, freezes, a broker connection that drops after every trade and errors when trading live with the AI.
See review
★★★★★“IT CUT'S MY CONNECTION TO MY BROKER AFTER EACH TRADE I MAKE.”
Value for money 2.6
It is expensive, and several say their broker gives them a similar scanner for free. There is a complaint about an unexpected $2,000 renewal.
See review
★★★★★“Very overpriced trading software that provides no value that you can't get from your brokerage software for free.”
Ease of use 3.0
It has a huge number of options, but they take effort to learn, and several find the interface outdated. The videos and trading room help.
See review
★★★★★“There is a lot to unpack in this software. My problem is not a weak platform but rather not enough knowledge to use the platform”
Support 3.6
Many praise chat support and the trading room. Others describe curt replies and no help for Mac users.
Transparency 3.2
It publishes its prices. But it does not reply on Trustpilot, and in July 2026 many five-star reviews arrived within a few days, almost all from new accounts.
