Trading Desks

Trading Desks Monitor Their Footprint in the Markets with Trade-Ideas

Although trading desks are not specifically looking for ideas, the alerts work as a market barometer.  Creating bears vs. bulls alert windows is the most effective way to read the tape.  Traders can also open an alert window with symbols for all outstanding, not held orders to assist execution.

Running a trading desk is a challenge.  Customers will do the easy trades themselves, and give you the large orders.  Large orders always move the markets.  The question is:  Are you pushing too hard?  Was the change in price and volume consistent with normal trading activities, or can people see that you are working a large order?  The Trade-Ideas software was specifically designed to find unusual activities in the markets.  We use historical data and statistical analysis to determine what is and is not normal for each stock.

How can you compete?  Even today, there are still thousands of day-traders looking for you, trying to front-run your trades.  They have the best electronic tools, and they hunt in packs, to cover more ground.  Like a poker player practicing in the mirror, use Trade-Ideas to see if you have any tells.

How does it work?  Trade-Ideas receives exchange data from the NYSE, NASDAQ, and AMEX in real-time.  Our servers track every tick of every trade for every stock listed, comparing long term and short term statistical baseline information to what's happening now.  Statistically relevant events, defined by a manager's specific parameters, stream themselves instantly through our intuitive user interface or directly into linked OMS platforms for immediate execution or further research.

Over 9,000 users in 35 countries are taking advantage of this powerful analytics software in part because Trade-Ideas links with most of the premier Direct Access Trading platformsREDI Plus, LAVA, Real Tick, FutureTrade, InstaQuote, Neovest, CyberTrader, Sterling, Radical, TradeStream, Trade Portal, and more.

Testimonials

"After trying many services and testing many different systems and indicators I finally asked myself 'If I was smarter than I am about the stock market and had a lot of money to set up an ideal data system, what would it be like.'  I decided that one would have to keep track of every single transaction for every single stock in the market and plot this data on an intraday basis.  Only in this way would one be able to really see what the truth was about volume and price action.  Then, one would have to device methods to evaluate this data into easily recognized patterns to use as indicators.  In addition this data and its conclusions would have to be delivered in real time so that I could see the beginning of a move within one minute or less of it happening.  This would be a monumental task.  With this in mind I entered this into Google: ("volume alert" real time).  Your website was the 6th entry from the top.  After looking at all the video tutorials and reading all related materials I finally realized that you have produced my ideal scene."

"The fact that a super successful hedge fund like Circle T (and mine of course) uses the software is seriously telling."
