Four tools, one live picture
Key point
Most chart tools wait for you to pick the stock. Trade Ideas starts earlier: the scanner finds the stock the moment it moves, the screener ranks it, the chart shows the signal and the levels, and the AI tells you what is happening, in plain English. All on the same live data, on every US stock, since 2002.
- Stock charts: live charts with TI Wave signals, support and resistance, alerts drawn on the chart and two timeframes in one view.
- AI analysis: the AI Assistant explains the chart you have open and builds scans from your words. Holly AI picks trades every day.
- Screener: Top Lists rank every US stock on 249 filters, and the ranking updates in real time.
- Scanner: 310 Streaming Alerts fire the moment something happens, on every trade, with no refresh.
TI Wave: buy and sell signals on any chart
Open any stock, pick any timeframe, and TI Wave draws adaptive EMA bands made for that stock. Real-time AI keeps fine-tuning them as the market moves, and a clear B or S marks the chart when the trend turns. From a 1-minute scalp to a daily swing. When you like the signal, send the trade to your broker from the chart.
Automatic support and resistance
You don't draw the lines. Trade Ideas works out support and resistance for every stock from where it has actually traded: the more trading near a price without getting through, the stronger the level. Then it tells you when a level breaks:
- Breaks, live: Crossed Above Resistance and Crossed Below Support fire the moment price gets through, and the confirmed versions wait for volume.
- The next level ahead: when a stock makes a new high, the alert names the next resistance level above it. On a new low, it names the next support below.
- Multi-day levels: Crossed Daily Highs Resistance tells you how many days of highs the stock just cleared.

Charts built for traders
- Alerts painted on the chart: a play-by-play of what the stock just did, which a bar-only chart can't show.
- Two timeframes in one chart: PiP charting puts the daily trend inside your 5-minute chart.
- Idea Surfing: the top stocks from your Top Lists rotate onto your charts about every 7 seconds.
- POC, value area, VWAP and trend lines, one click each: see the price where most of the day traded, the stretch around it that holds 70% of the volume, and where the trend is heading.
- The standard studies too: moving averages, RSI, MACD and Bollinger Bands, plus key stats like float, short float and relative volume above the chart.
- Patterns found for you: chart pattern recognition spots double tops, wedges, head and shoulders, flags and channels as they form.
The full tour: Real-time stock charts with pattern recognition
AI analysis that explains, builds and picks
- Explains the chart: ask the AI Assistant what is happening on the chart you have open: key levels, alerts and patterns, in plain English.
- Builds the scan: type or say what you want, such as “stocks breaking resistance on heavy volume”, and it builds the live scanner or screener for you.
- Picks trades: Holly AI tests dozens of strategies on market data every night and signals the ones that pass, live, the next day (TI Premium).
- Tests your idea: OddsMaker replays any setup on market history and shows every trade, no code (TI Premium).

Chart-first AI tools vs Trade Ideas
Many new tools start with a chart and add an AI chat and a screener. Trade Ideas started with the live scanner in 2002 and built the charts and the AI around it. So the chart you open is the stock that just moved, and the signal on it was found on every US stock at once.
