Example numbers, not a real trade
Scan in one, chart in the other. Example numbers, not a real trade.
A setup that uses both
We hear from a lot of traders who love their TradingView charts and have no plans to leave. Fair enough. The question they ask is whether Trade Ideas can sit next to it and do the scanning part. It can, and here is how folks set it up.
Keep TradingView for charts and drawings. Your levels, trendlines and layouts stay put.
Run the gap list in Trade Ideas. Gap percent, volume today and relative volume, refreshed every 15 seconds before and after the open.
Turn on two or three gap alerts. The false gap up retracement and gap reversal alerts watch every stock on the list, so you don’t have to set an alert symbol by symbol.
When an alert fires, pull it up where you chart. Type the symbol into TradingView and make your call there.
The difference shows up most on busy mornings. In a screener, you see a list and you go looking. With streaming alerts, the list comes to you when something actually happens, like a gap that dips, holds and turns higher.
Key point
Example, made-up numbers. You have 12 gappers on the list at 9:30. At 9:38, one of them, a $22 stock that gapped 7%, dips to $23.10, holds above its $22 close, and turns back up. The alert pops at $23.60. You flip to your TradingView chart, see it is right at a level you drew last week, and decide from there. You didn’t have to babysit twelve charts to find it.
On cost, TradingView’s prices are on its site and Trade Ideas has a free account with just an email. A lot of traders run the free Trade Ideas account alongside their TradingView plan for a while before deciding if they need more. No credit card for the free one, so there is not much to lose by looking.
Trader tip
A small tip from traders who run both: put Trade Ideas on the left monitor and TradingView on the right. Keep the alert window small and tall so new alerts stack at the top. When something fires, your eyes move one screen over and the chart is already waiting. It sounds minor, but on a fast morning that layout saves a lot of fumbling between tabs.
