Trade-Ideas is a toy compared to the advanced capabilities of RadarScreen. But accessing RadarScreen's "advanced capabilities" is a pain in the ass. It's got a horrible user interface that makes it tough to set up and display screens of anything but basic trade, chart, and quote fields. Mind you, a lot of people use and like Trade-Ideas. It's built for simplicity. So if you're a simple person and don't like to work too hard to set up screens that other people don't have, then Trade-Ideas might be for you.
Well said! It does take a lot of work to create something that is unique enough to give you a trading edge and if you don't have the tool to allow you to go to the next level....you'll never get there. Traders have a tendency to look for cheap and simple tools...it's like tying one hand behind your back. Spend the money and get the tools that offer more than you think you'll use...you'll be amazed how quickly you grow into it!
I think Fidelity calls Wealth Lab DEVELOPR, Wealth Lab Pro now? Does Wealth lab Pro still let you have a Open API and let you send info to other programbale brokers as well as powering it by outside data vendors?
