Trade Ideas, given its due.
Trade Ideas effectively invented retail real-time scanning, and its alert engine is battle-tested in a way a new platform simply isn't yet. The genuine difference is philosophical: packaged signals you subscribe to, versus published filters you can argue with.
What Trade Ideas is genuinely good at.
If this section reads like praise, it is. Generosity here is what makes the rest of the page worth your trust.
Scanning pedigree
Two decades of real-time scanning, a huge alert-window vocabulary, and pre-built layouts refined by an enormous user base. The engine has seen every market regime you'll trade.
A daily live room
Their free trading room demonstrates the product on live markets every session: a standard of show-your-work marketing the industry should copy, and one we intend to.
Signals as a product
If you want a system that emits entries, backtested, packaged, maintained, theirs is the mature version of that product, and no part of Bullzeye replaces it.
Where the approaches part ways.
Not better and worse: different jobs, honestly described. Read the left column as their design choice, the right as ours.
AI-generated trade signals with performance tracking: the model decides, you follow or don't.
No signal product, on principle. Boards show measurements: preconditions met, base rates with sample sizes, chatter shape, and the decision stays yours. Our AI layer connects your model to the evidence rather than selling you ours.
The AI's edge is proprietary by design; you evaluate it by its track record.
Every threshold is published, every score decomposes, and the false positives are listed on the template page. If you disagree with a surface, you change a setting, not your faith.
Scanning and alerts are the product; catalyst research, journaling and structural data live elsewhere in your stack.
The scan is one board of seven: catalyst calendar with measured base rates, chatter forensics, filing-dated float and dilution structure, sim, journal, joined on one dataset.
- You want packaged, backtested entry signals and are satisfied by their track record.
- Your scanning needs span the whole US market, not the momentum end of the Nasdaq.
- Battle-tested matters more to you than inspectable: a defensible position for money on the line.
- You've stopped trusting alerts you can't decompose.
- You want the catalyst, structure and crowd context on the row, not in three other windows.
- You want your own journal tuning tomorrow's scan instead of a generic model.
We are the newer platform and their engine has years of production miles ours hasn't accumulated yet. The founding cohort exists precisely to close that gap in public, with the base rates published as we go.
The founding cohort is 1,000 seats.
We admit 1,000 traders at a time because that is the largest number whose feedback on radar accuracy we can actually work through before opening the next batch. Applications are admitted in order; the intake asks what you trade, and answering it moves you up.
No card at application. Founding price locked for the life of your account. The full intake asks what you trade and moves you up the queue.
Admitted in order of application · momentum traders who complete the intake go first · founding price locked for the life of your account
