Trade Ideas fires alerts all session long.
We give you one call — reasoned, and graded in the open.
Trade Ideas' Holly AI is the best-known automated scan-and-alert engine in day trading: real-time signals firing across the session, built for traders glued to the screen. The trade-off is a firehose — a stream of alerts you still have to filter, with no one accountable for whether the one you took was right. Entry Point Trading does the opposite: an opinionated daily call across the whole US large-cap universe, the reasoning shown, and a public ledger that grades every call including the ones we get wrong. We make no return or win-rate claims; transparency is the point.
What Trade Ideas actually does better than everyone
Trade Ideas is, flatly, one of the most powerful real-time scanning engines in retail trading — and for a full-time day trader that live alert flow is exactly the tool for the job. Credit where it's due, here's what it does brilliantly and where the honest limit is.
Where Trade Ideas wins
- A genuinely powerful real-time scanner across the whole market
- Holly AI back-tests strategies and surfaces intraday setups fast
- Highly configurable alerts, filters and simulated trading
- Built for active, full-time day traders who watch the tape
- Charting, brokerage links and a deep feature set for scalping
Where the alert-firehose model has a limit
- A stream of alerts — not one decision made for you
- You still filter the firehose and referee the setups
- No one grades whether the alert you acted on was right
- Steep learning curve and a premium price for the full engine
- Equity/ETF intraday focus — no perps or prediction markets
If you're a full-time day trader who wants a powerful real-time scanner, Trade Ideas is a genuinely capable tool — and we'll say so plainly. Plenty of active traders will get real value from Holly's alert flow.
An automated scan firehose vs an accountable daily call
The real question isn't "which scanner fires more alerts?" — it's "who actually makes a call, and does anyone show me when it was wrong?" Here's the difference across the dimensions that matter once you're trading real money. Note what's not in this table: any win-rate or return claim. We don't make them.
| Dimension | Trade Ideas | Entry Point Trading |
|---|---|---|
| Core output | Real-time scans and alerts all session — you filter | Opinionated daily call + Power Rankings + macro/options context, done for you |
| Who makes the decision | You do, refereeing the alert stream | We publish a call with the reasoning and factors shown |
| Accountability | Back-tests shown; no one grades the alert you took | Public self-grading ledger that shows HIT and MISS, including our misses |
| Time commitment | Built for screen-glued, full-time day traders | One synthesized read per day, factors shown |
| Asset classes | US equities and ETFs, intraday | Daily call across every S&P 500 + NASDAQ 100 name, plus sector, country and thematic ETFs |
| Performance claims | Simulated and back-testing tools you run in-app | We make none — we publish indicator readings, not win rates, returns or an equity curve |
| Free way to evaluate | Paid tiers; limited trial | Free preview + free report, no time-boxed trial |
Why we lead with our misses instead of a win rate
Almost every signal service markets a headline win rate or a cherry-picked backtest. We do the opposite on purpose. Our live record is being built in the open, and we publish no performance claims until it genuinely earns them. In the meantime we grade our own calls publicly — each one marked HIT or MISS, misses included — and we teach the uncomfortable truth that a high hit-rate can still lose money without exit discipline.
The breadth compounds it. One dashboard scores every S&P 500 and NASDAQ 100 name — plus sector, country and thematic ETFs — identically, every trading morning, with macro, options-flow, smart-money and technical analysis in the same place. No name is skipped because it was not interesting that day.
To keep this honest: EPT is research and decision-support, not investment advice, and not a promise of profit. It sharpens your process — it doesn't replace your judgment.
