The life of a trader can be a solitary one against the market. Many belong to forums/chat to swap trading tips or simply participate in the sense of community. Now there’s a new innovation from StockTickr and Trade-Ideas fueling the trend towards networking among traders. On the heels of a recent WSJ article discussing this Trading 2.0 phenomenon, StockTickr Pro now offers seamless synchronization of any list of stocks in StockTickr with symbol lists in Trade-Ideas PRO.

StockTickr Pro users can now create rules in StockTickr that automatically populate a symbol list in Trade-Ideas PRO in real time.

Let’s say you trade in a style similar to a friend. You can use StockTickr Pro and Trade-Ideas to alert each other to setups in real time. For example, if your friend’s StockTickr username is tradertwo, you can create a Trade-Ideas Real Time rule such that any stock that tradertwo adds to StockTickr is added to a Trade-Ideas symbol list in real time.

You can also use a Trade-Ideas End of Day rule to synchronize certain lists at the end of the day (for example, the High Alpha stocks or Richard Todd’s Best Stocks to Day Trade list or other useful lists in StockTickr).

A short descriptive FAQ provides more details on this very social, very useful add-on tool to Trade-Ideas PRO.

One review of the combined services is already in (dated January 5th). Thanks Brett!

More collaboration with StockTickr is coming. Trade-Ideas’ stock reports will join Yahoo! Finance and Google Finance as an additional information resource associated with every stock (e.g., AAPL)
