Trade Ideas fires alerts all session long.
We give you one call — reasoned, with its risk level shown.
Trade Ideas' Holly AI is the best-known automated scan-and-alert engine in day trading: real-time signals firing across the session, built for traders glued to the screen. The trade-off is a firehose — a stream of alerts you still have to filter, with no stated level where the one you took would be wrong. Entry Point Trading does the opposite: an opinionated daily call across the whole US large-cap universe, the reasoning shown, and the level where each call would be wrong stated up front. We make no return or win-rate claims.
What Trade Ideas actually does better than everyone
Trade Ideas is, flatly, one of the most powerful real-time scanning engines in retail trading — and for a full-time day trader that live alert flow is exactly the tool for the job. Credit where it's due, here's what it does brilliantly and where the honest limit is.
Where Trade Ideas wins
- A genuinely powerful real-time scanner across the whole market
- Holly AI back-tests strategies and surfaces intraday setups fast
- Highly configurable alerts, filters and simulated trading
- Built for active, full-time day traders who watch the tape
- Charting, brokerage links and a deep feature set for scalping
Where the alert-firehose model has a limit
- A stream of alerts — not one decision made for you
- You still filter the firehose and referee the setups
- Whether the alert you acted on was right is left to you
- Steep learning curve and a premium price for the full engine
- Equity/ETF intraday focus — no perps or prediction markets
If you're a full-time day trader who wants a powerful real-time scanner, Trade Ideas is a genuinely capable tool — and we'll say so plainly. Plenty of active traders will get real value from Holly's alert flow.
An automated scan firehose vs a reasoned daily call
The real question isn't "which scanner fires more alerts?" — it's "who actually makes a call, and does anyone tell me where it would be wrong?" Here's the difference across the dimensions that matter once you're trading real money. Note what's not in this table: any win-rate or return claim. We don't make them.
| Dimension | Trade Ideas | Entry Point Trading |
|---|---|---|
| Core output | Real-time scans and alerts all session — you filter | Opinionated daily call + Power Rankings + macro/options context, done for you |
| Who makes the decision | You do, refereeing the alert stream | We publish a call with the reasoning and factors shown |
| Accountability | Back-tests shown; you judge the alert you took | Every call states its reasoning and the level where it would be wrong; outcomes are measured internally, not published |
| Time commitment | Built for screen-glued, full-time day traders | One synthesized read per day, factors shown |
| Asset classes | US equities and ETFs, intraday | Daily call across every S&P 500 + NASDAQ 100 name, plus sector, country and thematic ETFs |
| Performance claims | Simulated and back-testing tools you run in-app | We make none — we publish indicator readings, not win rates, returns or an equity curve |
| Free way to evaluate | Paid tiers; limited trial | Free preview + free report, then a 14-day free trial (card required) |
Why we show the process instead of a win rate
Almost every signal service markets a headline win rate or a cherry-picked backtest. We don't publish performance at all. Our entry and exit rules are still being refined, so any performance figure we printed today would be one we couldn't stand behind — performance is measured internally, not marketed. What we show instead is the process: every call with its reasoning, the indicator readings behind it and the level where the read would be wrong. And we teach the uncomfortable truth that a high hit-rate can still lose money without exit discipline.
The breadth compounds it. One dashboard scores every S&P 500 and NASDAQ 100 name — plus sector, country and thematic ETFs — identically, every trading morning, with macro, options-flow, smart-money and technical analysis in the same place. No name is skipped because it was not interesting that day.
To keep this honest: EPT is research and decision-support, not investment advice, and not a promise of profit. It sharpens your process — it doesn't replace your judgment.
