When Subscribers Talk: Don’t Stop til You Get Enough

When Subscribers Talk: Don’t Stop til You Get Enough

Feb 28, 2007


The truth is – it’s never enough. Keeping customers talking about a product or service in a positive, constructive way means delivering on the features that customers ask for and fixing or changing what they dislike. Fortunately we keep the conversation ratio tilted to the positive.

The 3 latest improvements to the service fall into this category. In some cases these new features are in preview mode – they are only currently available in the browser version of Trade-Ideas. We sometimes do this because the concept of what we are doing is often easier to implement over the web via the browser than it is to do via the small PRO downloaded application – call it an advanced beta. Let’s explain:

1. Added the flip feature to the web based product

The flip feature allows you to switch between a bullish strategy and a bearish strategy in one click.

For example, assume you are looking at new 7 day highs, which are at least 10% above their VWAP. When you click flip, the window will show you stocks which are making new 7 day lows and are trading at least 10% below their VWAP. Some items don’t change. If you are looking for block prints in stocks which are in a consolidation pattern of at least 7 days, the flip feature will point you back to the same strategy. It’s often useful to right-click on the flip link and select “Open in New Window”. This feature is coming to Trade-Ideas PRO – shortly.

2. Added new exchanges: OTC and Pink Sheets

We’ve had many people ask for this for awhile – and so it’s finally here. Already these issues and the free Stock Info reports we maintain daily are fast becoming the talk of many forums and stock boards. If you participate in boards like these and want to fast become a trusted voice, we’re glad to provide you the reports from which you can build your case. You’ll find these exchanges in both the browser and downloaded PRO application.

3. Added an RSS feed to our customizable stock screener

You can now view custom End-of Day (EOD) scan results as an RSS feed. Here’s an example of a scan I developed for WallStrip:

WallStrip Scan: Trading at All-Time Highs

At the bottom of this scan are the options to add the output to an RSS feed (”Add to your blog, web page, or news aggregator”). Note that this data is end-of-day and refreshes automatically – very convenient if you want to see this list every day in your feed reader.
