Swing Trading Strategies for beginners to high end traders alike!! With weekly Q and A of course
what's going on this wednesday hi scott thank you for the great intro as always um brad how's your mic just a test i hope it's coming through loud and clear it's more like a like a web show than a webinar right true it is a web show it's uh kind of behind the scenes a little bit so ladies and gentlemen we're going to begin right now it's our april 21st wednesday q a web show as brad likes to say it or we're a q a session where you guys get to interact with the founders of the company ask us a little bit about what we're doing we're very excited to be here uh talking to you this is one of the ways that we are able to really keep just ourselves grounded you know not being the c-suite executives that i joked about i think last q and a webinar were nothing like that we're regular old guys like yourselves and uh we're excited to be here so let's begin our first uh disclaimer about starting with the disclaimers and and first let's start with the disclaimer obviously you guys should know by now the trade ideas is in no way a registered investment advisor all the information that you're going to be hearing today from myself brad or scott or anybody else that's a team member of trade ideas it's for educational and informational purposes only please consult a registered investment advisor if you're seeking specific registration registered advice for your trading which this is not okay let's begin you guys already know this but you are our venture capitalists in other words uh it's through your subscriptions that we are able to function as a business in no other way we don't have uh millions and billions of dollars from silicon valley or china we just simply do it the old-fashioned way sorry i had to throw that in we just do the old-fashioned way we have a business we run it well we make money at it and uh we continue to win with you guys helping us all along the way and we're about to be uh listed five years in a row on the inc 5000 fastest growing privately held companies and this year going to be bigger than the one before so we're doing very well all thanks to you and we are very appreciative of it today's presentation is going to be really cool because it's going to give you a peek inside of the lab and we do this from time to time where what we want to do is we since you guys are here on the q a we want to show you the process of how we make things happen and one of these ways is again we listen to what you guys say uh we do that we like to think that we do that pretty well one of the things that you've been talking about for example for a long time is that people often start off in the market and it's very easy to lose money we knew that and as a result we built what we believe is the best simulated trading system available if you're not using it even if you are a customer and a premium customer you should always be using the simulated trading because it helps you be better like the driving range for professional golfers or anything else that a professional does this is where you practice it's the gym if you're a professional fighter simulated trading helps you see what's going on in an unemotional way but yet visual and interactive and our simulated trading environment of course is the same exact environment that you get through brokerage plus which connects to interactive brokerage and e-trade so that's we're going to pause that there we're coming upon a very important uh event that's going to take place and that is our two week test drive it's going to be starting from may 10th to may 21st and i want to just reiterate the fact that this is where people get to really dive into trade ideas it only costs 8.99 for the two weeks and lots of uh standard subscribers come in and try all all the premium features and also lots of new people come in and test out everything we have and this one is especially for the new people we haven't done it brad could you remind me or maybe scott when was the last time we did a test drive you know i think it was october but it could have been it was uh november it's in november okay so it's yeah it's it's been a while and and the reason it's there's been a lot of stuff going on on under the hood again we've been developing for us we like there's a back when i used to be a marathon runner there's this uh adage road or a motivational thing that we used to use called there is no finish line and this is kind of the same way for us we keep moving we never say okay you know once we do this then trade ideas is done it's a continuous uh continuing learning process we're interacting we're interacting with yourselves and the market and hopefully getting better at this whole thing but i want to make sure you guys know lots of exciting new things are going to be under the hood in this test drive and if you again most of you are already premium subscribers so this may not apply to you specifically but certainly for those that aren't uh you should give it a try and tell your friends so we welcome everybody and it's trade dash ideas dot com forward slash test drive probably going to be the biggest one we've ever had okay so one of the things that i'm really excited about is as you guys know last week we introduced you to the trade ideas strength of arts and there's a slide for that uh in this presentation but i want to kind of give you a peek as to what is coming in terms of a new product that we're bringing out so this is called trade ideas one as in you've already won with trade ideas and it's an email alerts only system it's going to be 11 a month and it's every day you're going to get some alerts about something that's happening and of course on this a graphic i actually missed the most important part of the thing i was trying to show you but let's uh move to this one it kind of looks like this so you're going to get an alert and it's going to give you some symbols like hcsg the shorts are in panic mode and what this is telling you is that there's a big short interest in the stock and the stock is moving up higher one another one that we got today and i unfortunately forgot to add the email part to the graphic was love the shorts are in panic mode and you can see what go this is the landing page roughly speaking again we're kind of giving you just a peek so the idea here is that there's no configuration there's nothing and what's really cool about it and i still i'm excited about it even though i'm i use the product all the time is that through the notifications on your phone you will see this oh you just got an email from trade ideas and it says the shorts are in panic mode if you click on that email you'll be able to see something like this okay and again it's a picture of a chart and some information about it and in this particular example you can see that the information is well it has a large percentage short that means that the quote-unquote smart guys and again you guys know that we talked about the whole gamestop situation which we're not going to talk about at all today but it's the same concept over and over again you've got the pros quote unquote betting against the little guys or in this case also betting against the companies and i'm not saying they're always wrong but in this particular case you're combining two aspects together number one they show their hands by the fact that you can see what's called a short float meaning that 21 of the 11 million is short in other words they've sold this company and they want to buy it back at a cheaper price hopefully zero as we learned about gamestop um and the stock is moving up as it moves up these short guys are in panic mode because it hurts them to be sure they're paying interest on those uh loan stocks and also their unrealized gains are actually losses which means that they could get what's called a margin call so uh what i'm going to do right now is i'm going to minimize this and brad we're going to switch to you in a second because brad's got a lot of really cool stuff to show you but i want to show you uh what i wanted to say about this which is the testing of this is going very well okay this is so this is another this is what it looks like in the email this is another symbol hcsg the shorts are in panic mode notice how it's simple there's no configuration there's nothing to do and it's simple and by the way everybody who's a pro uh user and uh i think standard two brad you can set these up yourselves now right yeah you can set these up standard you can do that yeah so maybe brad you'll go through but we're going to show them on your computer but then also this the setup for what this would look like you know how to do it without the again this is aimed at people who don't have a lot of time or not in front of the computer so this is an email alerting system it's 11 a month and you're going to get emails whenever this situation happens but again it's throttled so you're never going to get email email email it's probably going to be three or four a day maximum all throughout the day okay so uh brad i'm gonna hand it over to you sir all right let me uh share my desktop here hold on wait wait one sec one sec sorry sorry sorry but right before you go um can everyone still see mine or not let me go back to mine real quick i knew what i wanted to show and i always remembered after i uh saw my screen here i'll send it to you okay all right so guys do you see my screen okay thank you daniel thank you dimitri okay so notice why i said that it's testing well okay and i said testing very well so what we do is and by the way this is in simulated trading mode this is again me at the driving range working on a concept product we didn't come up with this today by the way i'm just saying that we've been doing this for a little while and it looks good okay and here's how it looks good i you can see like the two alerts that i showed you l-o-v-e and h-c-s-g when i got the e-mail alert i bought it about a thousand shares you know just trying to see what it would feel like throughout the day and this one is one that we got uh over here uh two days ago petcube again notice the same concept at least 17 percent of the float short and it's moving higher which means the shorts are in panic there's nothing like doesn't have to be too fancy guys but do you see what is possible and i'm just like doing very basic stuff i saw on the word place the trade obviously it's a thousand shares so i probably wouldn't have done it per se with this amount but i'm just trying to get a feel for different things and i want you guys to see what i'm seeing so it's probably important to point out as well dan that you know we don't have some wizard behind the curtain that's saying all right p-e-t-q send that out to everybody this is really just a trade idea strategy that anybody could have you could run it in an alert window or such and and that we don't really know it's going to be generated at the beginning of the day so as all the very much kind of like an ai in a way because as all the alerts and filters match up when they when the criteria hits it's just going to be generated and the email will turn off and this goes back to the whole notion that many of you have real paying jobs your doctors lawyers other professionals and you just might not have as much time to dedicate to active investing and we hear you and this is our answer to it and i kind of just wanted in this q a for you guys to be able to see the thought process behind the scenes like what we're doing how we're thinking about it and why we think something will or won't work in this example and obviously there's no way that i of course the timing is perfect because today the market's up and everything else but again that happens sometimes which no problem you know we like that but pepcu was there from several days ago and in fact the first day that i bought it brad notice where i bought it like it's 40.33 it actually closed negative so the first day wasn't that it ran up to 41 but then came down pretty hard okay but i held it because again i'm just hey number one this is simulation because i'm trying to get some ideas but number two even on a percentage move basis there was nothing to panic about it was about it never went below uh the low of the gap up and then the next day it ran and then today continued so it's a beautiful uh move uh and we want to deliver this in a product that's very very simple for you guys to use and uh i'll show you uh again how when we when we're on brad's uh computer which brad take it away uh we're going to show you how to set something like this up for yourselves if you're already subscribers did you want to share that strategy at all or not um you know let me brad remember how uh i get the email but because i deleted all the stuff i don't exactly remember where it was i think i can grab it i can i can grab it it's it's in your account so sports are on here double channels and then i'll i'll have it that way when i demonstrate it i can show let me see i'm going to give this to everybody this may not be you got it okay good yeah so i'm throwing it into chat the cloud link and uh let me say shorts and apparently let me load it yeah here it is this is what are they still looking at my screen brad yeah there yeah so this is kind of what it looks like and obviously remember the beauty of the email concept here is that you're not going to get this no no you're just going to get this one same thing with it you know and it comes all throughout the day but you're not going to be needing to be into it like uh you know like somebody who's at the computer the whole time dimitri yes it's very similar to the short squeeze channel 100 um but we like short squeeze is such a great so i'm going to close this window everyone has it right you have this the cloud link in the chat so we're all good what we're simply showcasing is the fact that you can take a concept and really create a strategy out of a concept and you can then productize that concept so we're not simply limiting ourselves to uh shorts are in a panic mode but we love that because it's out of the it's thinking that isn't like cnbc centric and you know the traditional oh the fundamentals blah blah blah no no no this is kind of psychology together with um momentum and the pain of money management so it doesn't have to do really that much with the company but much more with the psychology of the people who are at the poker table which is your counterparty the hedge funds are short and we think in this case since the stock is moving higher you have a good chance of doing something good if you are able to get in and manage and have something like this run okay so uh brad let's do it brad do you wanna kinda give the highlight i'm sorry my mute was i'm asking if the um if it's coming through and you can see my desktop yes okay so what we're looking at here is more of a a different type of container system inside of trade ideas for 18 years we've had which is i think a pretty cool thing nothing but free floating windows so it's a very flexible type of window layout container but the flexibility is limited in the ability to bring windows into a single container and this is one of the things that we're going to be unveiling here very shortly as i move this around we can do a lot of flexible things inside of the window so i can detach windows right from the dock i can also move them around inside of the dock into other windows so i could take that chart and i can move it right next to this other window that i have and i can also have tabs in the windows so i could get this drop down and go to a variety of different windows that i have maybe this alert window i'm looking at click on it everything should still be linked here and i can change the format of these windows so in this one let me bring it up to the top whoa inside your panels so i mean it really does get super flexible and one of the things that we have plans of bringing in are having multiple docking containers so you have that i'm going to go ahead and make it a little smaller here and then if you just wanted to grab a window out of here you could just grab it right out pull it into a free free-floating mode again you still have access to the other windows inside of this particular dock so it's just you know it's another way to use trade ideas you're going to be able to have multiple channel bars you're going to be able to have a channel bar inside of a dock window as well as free floating giving you more flexibility to do some channel browsing while you still have your other windows on the screen either in a free floating mode or in a dock yeah i think brad this is a great example of you know our r d being presented to you the customers so that you can see what we're doing you know notice that since the beginning and i think we've said this many many times we do not focus on the indicators because indicators are there's millions of indicators and as far as we're concerned none of them work you know we're focused on statistical analysis and helping to improve the way you interact with the data we're looking at this as like you know we know the pain it is of like if you have a layout and then you change layouts and the one a window gets stuck and again our channel bar is very powerful but we want to make it even better and obviously you're seeing a very very early prototype okay so just make sure you guys know this but we want to show you what's under the hood in the dev department and how we are constantly pushing uh to to again to improve the way that you interact with our data and here we kind of gave you two separate components of that that on the one hand we hear you in terms of not being glued to your uh computer screen all day long and then we also hear you in terms of just flexibility of use and this is something that we wanted for a long time but we finally had the ability to kind of resource it in and again i love just seeing what brad's doing and brad just move the whole thing over to the left or over to the right i personally trade on three monitors so you know this is the beauty of what's happening here is that you've got this ability to take let's say the short squeeze right and maybe put it on one monitor and then you're on the brokerage plus non-uh uh container layout in another monitor and then potentially something totally different in another monitor so that's where we believe we are completely taking it to the next level let me do a little uh i'm going to close this right here i'm going to load up the the regular version here because i want to show something so you drop that uh cloud link in the chat and i want to go ahead and show you how you could take that strategy and you could one you could load it up and two you could automate it you could throw it into brokerage plus and so anytime there's a signal there it might be it may be a little bit of a noisy strategy to be automated but i'm going to show you how to do it and you could take any strategy you create and do that so the first thing is i've dropped it in my clipboard i went to the chat window and i grabbed it just go to my cloud channel right here and i must not have grabbed it that's the wrong one one second so one thing you should know you know i i was kind of shocked when i loaded that up should have populated right here from my clipboard so that's i knew there may be little issues so let's hit load and this is the window here that dan was talking about this is the one that he has coming through his email let me bring in brokerage plus and let me connect i'll just connect to the simulated account and let me go in what's that dan nice work today in your sims yeah it was a good day all right so we're going to go to strategies and i'm going to grab this this window here it's still in my clipboard i'm going to right click and i'm going to go to new trading strategy actually i'm going to load from cloud since it's in my in the cloud right now and i'll just load it i'm going to add it to the existing and you're going to see the very last line here is the shorts are in panic mode i need to tell it what i wanted to do with that anytime there's a signal so what i'll do is i'll edit the trading strategy this is the entry time i'm not going to trade for the first half hour not going to trade for they're not going to initiate any positions in the first out first half hour or the last hour i have a few other parameters i can set right here the order details is very important how do you want to size your order either in dollar value either in fixed shares or based on a stop loss right there you'll need to define a stop loss if you're going to use that one and then are you going to enter it enter that order in as a limit order as a market order or even a limit delta where you can pay up a little bit for it or even maybe bid in a little less than what the last price is so once you set that up right there and this is where you would set your lot your stop loss or your your profit target how long do you want to hold it these are all the parameters this is how it's set right now but you can set this to anything that you want and you hit okay it's right here ready to go i'm going to go now i'm going to go ahead and just turn it on it's disabled right now click to enable it's now on so it's ready it's listening it's only going to work during the market hours but that's how you would take a strategy that someone gave you through the cloud and drop it in you can always configure your own you can always grab something here save it to your cloud and and bring it right back into your own window brad you know when you were doing that it made me think how it actually almost would be cool to be able to just drag the window into the strategies and have it prompt you to say would you like to replace or add this to you know like instead of going the right click and load from a minute i'm saying and and these are the things you know it's kind of funny like obviously brad and i probably could have figured that out on a multiple choice test on the sats or something like that but you sometimes don't come across all this stuff because you're doing so many different things and uh again we want to make it easy for you guys to be able to share strategies add strategies and brokerage plus is so powerful but we know that there's some limitations on its uh ease of use and again we're very focused on making it easier for you and that's a priority for us and you kind of can hopefully see what we're doing from that perspective so cameron had a good question he was asking if there's a way to highlight the entire row and mind by default is set up that way barry told him that you just go to the tools area right here select options and then we've got a highlight grid row upon selection mine is selected which means i'm going to get the whole row if you have that unselected and there's a reason for doing that as well maybe you just want to copy the symbols down you would do that for a symbol list maybe you wanted to grab all this data to drop it into excel well that's when you'd want to use the whole the whole row so a couple different ways to do that and for different reasons i think cameron and i would have failed this question on the trade ideas uh entrance exam together i forgot what that was i'm just saying again guys you know we talk about how trade ideas has some similarities to the power of something like an adobe photoshop in that if you really know what you're doing you can layer colors and do 3d uh graphing or if you're just doing cut and paste you can do that too and i love brad i love seeing that because again you know i i think mine's just like uh what you uh had a mine's defaulted to the entire row and i simply forgot about that part yeah and i mean for you for most people really if you're just using it to to grab a symbol list because that's one of the things that we do really well not only do we scan the entire market for every single stock but we can also really refine it to a particular symbol list or a portfolio and i know you have a couple windows like that i've got a window like that over here which is just a top list no filters at all just the columns and data that i want to see that's going to you know let me know things that i've recently traded and how are they doing right now yeah you know what's so funny brad i'm so used to being the screen and i like just seeing it from your perspective because you know when you're driving i get to see someone else do stuff that i again just haven't done in a little while um and so brad mark had a question about e-trade and as far as i understand e-trade is in the current beta correct e-trade is functional download go to our website go to the download page go all the way down to the uh the beta download and you'll find that the e-trade connectivity is in that version yeah and this is a zero commission connectivity uh unlike interactive brokerage which does cost some money e-trade is totally uh free for trading now it is still in beta and obviously you may come across some things that are not perfect but we've had people on it now and it seems to be pretty functional from what i understand i mean certainly good enough for us to put it out for you guys to work with it obviously in beta but still and this is another uh nice part of uh the product in terms of the open house that we're gonna have in that during the open house people that are trying you know brokerage plus if you are an e-trade customer and you have an e-trade account you will be able to potentially you know if you want to uh trade via e-trade um let's see steve had a great question steve gomez i mean i'm sorry we have a guy named steve gomez steve g so i'm just teasing uh because he would laugh if he heard that um the trade ideas 11 product is not yet available it's coming soon and brad is showing you the one that is available and it is called the trade ideas strength alerts brad let's talk about that a little bit like what it does and how it's a little bit more of a a swing approach uh to looking at a trade not really looking to get in and to get out but the way that it works is uh i think it's sunday evening you're going to be presented with an email and the email is effectively this right here so if you're a subscriber to trade ideas you already have it but the email is calling out five different stocks uh that look like there's something that could be in a bullish activity and it gives you some description on what the the rationale for that move is a little bit of the description of it and then you have the chart of that company in a single stock detail we've got this for five different securities and this is what our second or third week running on it and it's had some pretty good success and this is being curated by a team member of ours michael noss and he's using um what is he using he's using the market explorer which is something that we hope to release here in the next couple months it's i'm not even talking about but it's fantastic technology so he's using that tool right there to generate these particular signals going through and vetting them as well and then generating this email once a week yeah we're very happy with this and again it goes towards our premise of simplifying the product into different components whether it's trade ideas one or strength alerts the so i want to make sure you guys kind of fundamentally understand the strength words they come out on monday right brad is that it yeah they come out monday morning i think it may be released sunday evening but these are for it's for in play monday morning and these are effectively the stocks right here it's just in a top list with these five different stocks and then we've got a streaming alert window down in the bottom along with the the description here and you can move that out there's a a daily and a weekly chart right and the difference here is whereas the trade idea strength awards come out once a week and again remember different people interact with the market in a different way the trade ideas one product which is going to be the 11 product you're going to get a several emails throughout the day so it's going to be every day most likely and a couple of emails here and there and the idea is that we're saying look hey take a look not you may not want to trade everything but these things look interesting and that's why i showed you guys how i interacted with them on my uh simulated trading account so brad is there a historical ti strength like in other words do people know and i'm asking literally because i don't know myself but does the the window where we're describing everything does it show like the whole list of strength alerts or is it just new every dozen but it probably should and i need to talk with michael about his time horizon on that if it's more than a week then it would be a very good idea to continue to have them in a different window or some other place to view that um but right now this the last list is being cleared out for the current one right right okay yeah now this this looks really good and again it's just a completely different concept uh from great ideas which is really meant for the person who's in front of the computer and really kind of interacting with the market all throughout the day so daniel allen asked like he loves the strength alerts and he's saying what is a suggested stop so daniel i mean this is one of these things that almost falls along the disclaimer of the first one we don't like to give that kind of advice on because everyone's stock price has to be different and it has to do with your own specific risk level somebody who's trading a hundred thousand dollar account to somebody who's trading a ten thousand dollar account should have different uh stock levels and the market favors those with bigger accounts because you know it gives you more flexibility you can be wrong more times etcetera etcetera um but that said you know uh i would look at uh maybe signing up for some of the trade ideas educational classes that we have that we'll discuss towards the end of the webinar and we give lots of high level suggestions on that sometimes a very simple option and again is just what's called the 20 day low again if you're thinking about being something in something for what we like to call slightly longer term a good high level stop is what's called the 20 day low which is roughly the monthly low because that way you're kind of letting the market digest here digest there and not panicking paper handing yourself out day trading the way it's been painted in the markets and on cnbc is certainly a loser's game not the day trading per se is bad but simply getting in only to exit at the end of the day because the market is over because you're worried about something happening overnight well i mean then you're gonna miss the kind of move that's going to propel you to an account that you would have never thought you could have had okay it's impossible to chase a tesla for example when it was running from you know 200 to 800 if you're doing it every single day because again it's just so volatile and then it'll gap down but then retrace the whole gap down and you would have never known to do you know it's emotionally too taxing okay all right so how are we caught up on the questions i think i i think we're caught up on the questions okay fantastic um let's see i'm trying to think brad since we're on your screen oh uh a gentleman had asked about uh adding uh indicators into uh well i think a top list and i was going to say maybe you could show for example so i want to i want you to do two things since basically it's easy since you're driving let's show how to add like an rsi and a bollinger band into your top list for any stock so you could see some more technical data points sure so i'll do this ti strength window right here uh everything is right click sensitive from a menu perspective so if you right click you're going to get your menu we're going to want to go to configure and would you say rsi bollinger band size an easy one and then maybe some bollinger bands yeah so you're just going to go to the search field here and you're going to type in rsi it's going to tell you exactly what you can add to it in this case let me add say a five minute and a daily and i'll just use the control to do that and i'll just show the column i could add these as filters too in the window if i wanted to make sure that the rsi on the five minute was a certain between a certain value or over or under a certain value i could do that but in this case let's just show the columns and then hit ok nothing really changed here it's from a configuration perspective but over here we've got the rsi five minute and the rsi daily now i could have in the same step added the bollinger bands but we'll just come back to it and we'll type in b space b i could type in bollinger bands but so i have to learn how to spell it right so here are the different bollinger bands that we have uh the five minute and the daily let me add both of those and so just show the column hit okay i mean really you do this a couple times and it's pretty simple yeah so you have this ability that everything that we look for as a filter as brad said can be added to a top list and we want to just say this again and i've said this over and over i think for years now that we've been doing this try to get your mind away out of the technical indicator mess that it is that it becomes for the individual investor i'm going to go back to golf and for uh people that learn golf there's a term called paralysis by analysis it is so easy to overthink the golf swing into like well where is my wrist hinge and what's my weight doing and how's that relative to where my weight is is it on the left leg when do i shift my weight what's the club head doing and literally what happens is you stop playing golf it's been proven when dan's not trading he's instructing people on the golf course correct what you want to do is you want to feel now there's nothing wrong with getting a feel for a position in the bollinger bands but please know that these are just high-level things your eyes can tell you uh everything that you need to know and this is again what brad is doing right now is a very important part that shows you how do you do it on a chart brad maybe you can talk through that a little bit because it's not like we're indicator handicapped not indicator handicapped and if you just right click on a chart you can i have a few more options here but i think everybody just has this indicators option and you can select your indicator go back in and edit the ones that are out there um how about um macd that's always a popular one for people sure we'll throw an macd on here and this is where you define you know are you putting it in a new chart area so that's going to be a sub panel below or you're going to put it in the main chart area so this will go into a new chart area and some of the parameters that you can set to define your macd let's just go ahead and add it and then close and then down in my sub panel right here this is where i have the the macd and again if you are following that indicator if it's meaningful to you we certainly have a lot of the ones that are relatively meaningful but remember what we've talked about which is the pivot away from indicator dependence to your eyes feel and statistical analysis which is our ai rai looks at all these stuff and all these things all these components and it sorts through them to try to see well which of these is it the bollinger bands or is it the macd's or is it the rsis or is it the kelter channels that are relevant for any kind of statistical uh analysis or strength that you can rely on as a predictive value i mean that's where the real map comes in and this is all the math that's being done behind the scenes right now trade ideas just cranking away trying to get ready for tomorrow crunching numbers in a way that nobody can do on a personal computer and that's why so many people are premium subscribers and use our technology because again what you're doing is of course you can see charts but there's charts on e-signal and trading view and virtually every other platform what you're looking for is the processing power for us to be able to do all this on the server and then give you some cool heads up throughout the day which is what the ai is doing and i know most of you already know about it so there's not really a need in this q a to jump into the how the ai works but we've had many sessions on it so yeah so let me do this let me um kind of wet people's appetites with some of the um i know you like to simplify things i'm not going to really go into detail here but i am just going to show you guys that you know if you are creative and you do want to do your own type of mathematical manipulations with the with the data that we have and provide for you you can go ahead and set up a bunch of different custom filters for yourself to use inside of your windows an example that we're going to have that i have is a custom filter right now but we're going to migrate it to a a regular filter and that's the percent of float traded today kind of like the float turnover value and and it's a really simple formula it's really just taking the the total volume today dividing it by the float and multiplying it by a hundred so that's going to give you something really interesting and once you've added something in here again just a small little help file a little um data to let you know what the codes are for all the formulas once you understand that and once you set something up i can just go into here go back to configure search actually i'm in the wrong account let me change it real quick hey brad also uh george was asking about the macd he said he didn't see it when he had the indicator drop down that's available for everybody isn't it it should be available for everybody um are you on the web or are you on the application george we'll keep going we'll we'll wait for george so i'm gonna hit here i'm gonna type in float so i've got percent of float traded today and i could just add that as a column i could add it as a filter if i wanted but so now what i've taken is i've created my own filter and added it here to my own top list window i've actually modified the gi strength but you know just kind of made it my own and once you do that you can save it to the cloud save it as a window that you can pull up in the future and you can also save it to your own custom channel so a custom channel and you can have up up to five of them it could be a single window it could be a couple windows it could be a whole layout that you have there so all you need to do is just go to edit custom channels right there and then you could you know make your own image or use one of our predefined images that we have here and just drop in your cloud link so it's really easy to do once you've created the window or the layout yeah um so brad george is on the beta uh barry would you double check that uh you can uh see the macd on your end i mean i think we you can i'm just you know surprised that that's something that came in george send us an email to info trade ideas.com if it doesn't appear there and we'll have one of our support guys help you out we'll figure it out so brad you just kind of showed the very advanced part of what we were discussing you know of the adobe photoshop aspect that if you have some mathematical skill sets you can really completely customize uh great ideas greg i'm totally bullish on gamestop and i'm diamond handed still in no problems at all diamond handed here as well yes lots of diamond hands no paper but brad remember when we started this whole thing about trade ideas one we were going to show them and your formula editing section reminded me of that let's show them how you can add an email alert to like create any alert window into an email alert for yourself i'm going to actually use the one that you had created right we'll make it simple here so i'm just going to grab this cloud link right here at the top and this cloud link is going to help me load the window this is kind of a little bit of a let me just preface it by saying that we are going to be making this whole process much different than it is right now so yeah it's a little bit you know as if it was done by a software developer all right let me let me i hope our guys aren't listening to this all right so there's the window now what i need to do is i need to go into our website so i'm just going to go to the trade ideas homepage and i'm going to make sure that i'm logged in well i know i'm logged in because i just did i'm going to go to support i'm going to go to account management down here and we've got this hidden option right here for an email or sms alert select it and i've got a few set up as well i think i'm only looking at one of them which is this turbo breaks up in this account but what we can do is i'm going to show you how to drop in the one that dan had running here so all you do is i'm going to right click on the window and i'm going to go to collaborate this was the first method that we had within the software to share windows amongst users and to take them from the application onto our web page and so i'm just going to grab this particular link right here it really just has all the settings of the window all right there embedded in that link rather than the cloud link which we're storing the settings on our server here so all of that's there i'm going to come here and i'm going to i'm going to drop in the collaboration link right here i mean this is like so bad but i'm dropping the link right there and i'm going to turn it on i'm going to tell it what it is and this is going to be the shorts panic mode and we have a little legend down here at the bottom that gives you these special codes to use that'll put different bits of information on that email to you so i'm just going to go ahead and copy one that i've i've been using i kind of like this right here just copy it paste it right here and i'm just going to update the strategies now that one is going to be on now the caveat to this this is going to email you as soon as an alert is generated and then it will only email you up to 20 minutes later so if it gets another alert within two minutes it's not going to send you an email but you do have the strategy so you can always well you can always watch it either on the web or you can watch it inside of your trade ideas window but brad if i can comment on that you know i've been testing and using the short certain panic mode specifically for the trade ideas one concept that i'm telling you guys putting myself in the position of someone who's not in front of the computer i actually love the fact that there's no blasting you know you get that one email you take a look it's what's great is that you get it then you've got that notification in your email it sort of pops up on your phone visible you don't have to open your email it just pops up and you see that symbol shorts are in panic mode you already know and then obviously if you open that email you're going to have that attachment of the picture and some more information and let me tell you real quick uh where this is going we are going to create an app on the phone a phone based app which will connect you to brokerage plus but in a very uh simple sort of way kind of like a robin hood copy and i hate robin hood you guys know that and all those people but a simple buy and sell interface to the brokers that we are connected to via the trade ideas might even be called brokerage plus phone you know bp f i don't know i'm thinking out loud but the point is that then you're going to be able to get that message on uh not just the email but maybe it'll pop up as a notification on your app and then if you click on it it'll bring up the interface with your preferred settings and of course you'll be able to see the chart and and so that way you're right there you're going to be in that same position that you are if you're using a robinhood account meaning that you're going to be able to either say go or no go and the idea is that you're not going to be doing strategy trading on your phone you're just going to be able to do the buy and the cell and maybe take a look at your positions and that's it so that's kind of where this is going to go in the near near future um brad i think we're pretty good all right let me bring back the slide deck yeah bring back the slide deck and uh let's go to the strength alerts real quick that's why yeah let's do present so as i was saying before this was on there last week the trade trade ideas.com forward slash strength those are the alerts that you saw you see that
there's a channel it's new alerts every monday and again it's 17 a month designed for a different type of market data and trading consumers somebody who has other things to do but yet still wants to participate in the market so check this out again we've had amazing feedback and almost like 100 percent growth if i understand the numbers right uh in about a week and a half's time so i really encourage you and once again there's really no barrier to entry because it's only dollars a month all right next one okay uh our great friend barry anderson team member runs our trading room trade dash ideas dot com forward slash trading room always there always available a meritocracy of good trade ideas users who help one another and whether you're window shopping looking to fine-tune something and just want that daily kind of interaction this is where you go highly recommended everybody's a big fan ourselves included and i think you get a lot of similar feel when you deal with barry in the room that you're getting here you can tell somebody who's involved who cares about the product and the way you interact with it but whereas with brad and i we come in here after hours and once a week barry's there every single day highly recommended let's keep going we have uh free digital books that we uh often hand out it's just a way for you to get more information from trade ideas and this is one about uh that's done by our director of software development who's a trader and one of our lead developers into all this stuff david may great guy uh take a look at that i highly recommend it trade ideas.com forward slash strategy and this way what i like about it brad is you get a feel for not just the way uh we write code but who's behind the scenes so you can understand a little bit of the mentality of the people here many of the people and trade ideas not all but many uh also trade because how else can you be good at something unless you do it and dave our director of software development trades every day so he wrote this to kind of give you an idea of what he's about highly recommended our education is the thing that separates trade ideas from the rest of the pack we have daily support sessions weekdays uh 12 p.m eastern 9 a.m pacific time i can't highlight this any more than i do every q a session because this is what's different between ourselves and others in that we understand the challenges of the market and the people that are doing the support session are people that are experts with trade ideas and have lots and lots of market experience all right probably my favorite slide this is when i tell you do not subscribe to trade ideas not for one second we do not want your money if you think that paying seven dollars and fifty cents a day for forward-facing ai that does everything that we've been telling you about is a difficult financial endeavor because the reason is it's not that we don't really want you as a customer obviously you know i'm joking a little bit but i want to be serious in that trading creates a lot of mental turmoil in one's mind okay if you have to deal with losses and handling of money and if you have a difficulty of paying let's say twenty three hundred dollars for a year this is without any discount codes for a year of technology like trade ideas i'm trying to help you by saying avoid this thing you know avoid this business because you will need to be able to stomach at least that much okay if not more but you can see how much our stuff costs per day and of course today we do have a promo code for anybody who wants to use it and it's called opportunity all caps 15 off your first month or a year of trade ideas but don't do it if seven dollars and fifty cents a day is a lot of money for you taken yes please we also do uh a podcast please look at that from your podcast search engines it used to be myself but it's been taken over by our good friend sean mclaughlin and other guests so we highly recommended uh much less cursing than used to happen when jamie and i used to do it and less conspiracy stuff i mean you know not everybody raw back then huh not everybody's into all that conspiracy stuff crap yeah okay we are very easy to get a hold of active on social media and although your favorite humble ceo has been kicked off of all social media just like president trump uh at trade ideas at quanbot and at ti steve g are all our active twitter accounts please like us on facebook and other places that don't like us like instagram um shoot us an email at infotrade.ideas.com and of course you can always give us a call at our phone number there on the slide let me see if there's a couple of questions there that i need to answer oh thank you uh daniel uh james i think i'm trying to understand what your question is about uh yeah you don't get a write-up you always see for on the on the trade ideas one you get the email with the ticker symbol and then a snapshot of why it came across and that will be evident in the product description the whole again the whole point is like hey you may want to take a look at this you know brad do me a real quick favor uh go to our homepage on the website joseph trade ideas will help you get get into it for sure um so do you guys notice we have a list called stocks to watch um on the home page this is a little sample of stocks to watch and this is not unlike the trade is one concept but obviously this is simply taking some of the biggest gainers that you're seeing today and displaying it to you on the home page so that so that your first impression when you come to trade ideas you're already being given some information that you may want to take a look at okay it's very simple not rocket science but yet these are also like for example if you got into these today you might have made some good money because they were very strong so the trade ideas one concept kind of takes this but into the email world and is again very specific and we may do different strategies in there not simply shorts aren't panic mode in fact you might be able to say well i want just there may be three to choose from and you select either all three or just one or something to that effect so um scott i think that's it for the show today yeah sounds good um you all can stay tuned for an announce email tomorrow with a link to where you can find the recording thanks everyone thank you scott take care bye
