Trade-ideas is for real time intraday signals and alerts; Stockfetcher is for end of day data only. Stockfetcher is better suited for swing and position traders. An equity only trader should not trade without one of those services or an equivalent...just my .02 cents Happy trading.
Agree. Here is the End of Day data that Trade-Ideas provides as basic research on its site: http://www.trade-ideas.com/StockInfo/ and http://www.trade-ideas.com/SingleAlertType/ Also found an old thread that explains a Swing strategy in TI: http://www.elitetrader.com/vb/showthread.php?s=&postid=642795#post642795
Tried a short subscription of Stock Fetcher Pro with a custom filter I plagiarized from their forums and then tweaked. Paper traded a bit and went live today with one trade...so far so good...pleased with results overall. Still need to tweak the filter a bit more so as to reduce the number of charts and background research required before taking a position.
