What a trade scanner is
A trade scanner watches every stock at once and speaks up when one does what you are looking for. You stop flipping charts. The market comes to you.
You set the rule: a new high, a gap, a volume spike.
You set the filter: price, float, relative volume.
The scanner does the watching and lists each match as it happens.

Speed
Streaming vs refresh-based: every trade, not every candle
Same breakout. The streaming scanner speaks up on the trade. The refresh scanner waits for the candle.
Most scanners wait. They check on a timer, or when a 1-minute or 5-minute candle closes. By then the move is old news.
Trade Ideas streams. It checks each trade as it prints, so the alert shows up on the trade that made the move, not at the end of the bar.
Multi-Strategy windows: run many scans in one window, like the clip up top.

Tips
Tips from the desk
One TI Pro layout: alerts, a Top List (Screener), a race and a chart.
Fewer alerts, better alerts. Three good ones beat thirty noisy ones.
Filter on volume, every time. A move on no volume rarely holds.
Mind the spread. Use the Spread filter to skip names you can't get in and out of.
Scan premarket too. Gaps start before the bell.
Most traders pick the exit before they get in. They set a stop going in, knowing a gap can make a loss bigger than the stop.
Past results don't guarantee future results.
FAQ
Trade scanner FAQ
What is a trade scanner?
A trade scanner watches the whole stock market and tells you when a stock does what you are looking for, like a new high, a gap or a volume spike. In Trade Ideas it fires on every trade, as it prints.
Trade scanner vs stock screener: what is the difference?
A scanner tells you the moment something happens. A screener ranks stocks that fit your filters. In Trade Ideas, Streaming Alerts (Scanner) fire on each qualifying trade. Top Lists are the screener and refresh every 15 seconds.
Does it scan premarket?
Yes. Alerts like Pre-market Highs and Pre-market Lows fire before the open, and the Premarket channel in the Channel Bar sets up a premarket layout in one click.
Is a streaming trade scanner faster than a refresh-based one?
Yes. A refresh-based scanner checks on a timer or when a candle closes, so a move can be a minute old when you see it. A streaming scanner like Trade Ideas checks each trade, so the alert shows up on the trade that made the move. Alerts can fire multiple times per second.
Is there an AI trade scanner?
Yes. Holly AI Signals (TI Premium) run dozens of strategies each day on the live market and send trade ideas with an entry and an exit. The AI Assistant, in every TI Pro plan, builds alert windows from plain English.
