We’re thrilled to share some exciting news: Trade Ideas has once again earned top honors from Investopedia, being named the Best Stock Screener for Day Trading and Live Trading Ideas in their Best Stock Screeners for May 2025 review!

This recognition reflects what thousands of traders already know: Trade Ideas is more than a screener — it’s a powerful idea-generation engine built for real-time decision-making in today’s fast-moving markets.

Why Trade Ideas Stands Out

In a rigorous evaluation of 16 stock screeners across 17 different criteria, Investopedia’s team of analysts and financial experts identified the platforms that best meet the needs of modern traders. When it came to delivering live, interactive trading ideas and tools tailored for day traders, Trade Ideas led the way.

Here’s what sets us apart:

Education and Community Support – From our free live trading room to daily webinars and on-demand education, we’re committed to helping traders grow — every step of the way.

AI-Powered Trade Ideas with Holly – Our proprietary AI, Holly, runs dozens of trading strategies every morning before the market opens, delivering statistically optimized trade ideas in real time. Holly adapts dynamically to market conditions, helping traders make smarter, faster decisions.

Simulated Paper Trading – Practice makes profit. With our risk-free simulated trading, powered by Interactive Brokers, you can test strategies in real time without risking capital. It’s perfect for both new traders learning the ropes and experienced traders refining their edge.

Customizable Scans and Alerts – With over 500 filters and an intuitive interface, you can build scans tailored to your style — whether you trade momentum, reversals, premarket movers, or sector-specific plays.

Backtesting and Strategy Tuning – Use our OddsMaker backtesting tool to fine-tune your strategies with historical data, see how they would have performed, and make adjustments before going live.

Recognition That Fuels Innovation

At Trade Ideas, we take pride in being at the cutting edge of trading technology. This recognition from Investopedia is not just an honor — it’s a reminder of why we do what we do. Our mission has always been to empower traders with the tools, data, and insights they need to succeed in all market conditions.

While other platforms received mentions for niche offerings — Trade Ideas stood out for what matters most to active traders: live ideas, real-time analysis, and actionable alerts. When it comes to helping day traders stay ahead, Trade Ideas clearly leads the way.

Trusted. Researched. Independent.

It’s worth noting that this recognition doesn’t come lightly. Investopedia’s review process is both thorough and independent, backed by a team of seasoned editors, financial experts, and compliance professionals. Their evaluation of 16 stock screeners involved 17 key performance criteria — and their recommendations are never influenced by affiliate relationships or advertising partnerships.

As Investopedia states:

“We independently evaluate all recommended products and services. The sales staff have no influence over product scores and whether or not we recommend a product.”

This level of editorial integrity means Trade Ideas wasn’t just selected — we earned our place at the top through objective testing, research, and performance in real-world trading conditions.
