Stock Apps & Trading Platforms Reviews

This Benzinga Pro review reveals it is best for traders who want a high-speed actionable real-time news feed at 1/10th of the price of a Bloomberg terminal. Benzinga Pro includes charts, financials, screening, options mentoring, and a powerful calendar suite to get a trading edge.

Our Trade Ideas review uncovers an excellent stock scanner, an AI-powered trading signal platform with 30 channels of trading ideas and auto-trading. Three automated Holly AI systems pinpoint trading signals for day traders. Trade Ideas promises and delivers the nirvana of market-beating returns.

While TradingView is great, Benzinga Pro is a better alternative for real-time news, Trade Ideas is best for AI-powered day trading, and Stock Rover is better for long-term investors. For chart pattern recognition TrendSpider is better than TradingView, and Finviz is a good free alternative.

This TradingView review finds it is great for traders wanting global coverage of stocks, Fx, and cryptocurrencies. TradingView automatically identifies chart patterns, Elliott Waves, and Candlestick patterns. Excellent backtesting and the world's best trading community make TradingView a great choice for chart traders.

There are four proven TradingView subscription discounts. The annual subscription 16% discount, the Pro trial 25% discount, the Premium trial cancellation 50% discount, and the monster Black Friday 60% discount.

Trendspider uses AI to plot trendlines, chart patterns, Fibonacci, and even analyzes stocks for you. TrendSpider is unique, reliable, and innovative, but is it the best?

Our Stock Rover review reveals an excellent stock screening, research, and portfolio tool for long-term US value, income, and growth investors. Easy to use yet incredibly powerful, Stock Rover is the best stock screener available for US investors.

Our Finviz review testing reveals an effective free stock screener, fast market heatmaps, and stock chart pattern recognition. Finviz Elite includes real-time data, interactive charts, and backtesting.

This review finds VectorVest is expensive overall, and considering the big pitch is their stock recommendation system, it has no demonstrable proven track record of success. VectorVest provides some benefits to traders and investors, primarily simplifying finding stocks based on the VectorVest proprietary system and providing general bullish/bearish signals.

This MetaStock review and test reveal an excellent technical analysis charting platform for traders, with 300+ charts and indicators for stocks, ETFs, bonds & forex globally. Metastock has innovative backtesting and forecasting, and Refinitiv/Xenith provides powerful real-time news and screening.

Our Portfolio123 review reveals powerful portfolio management, a 10-year screening database, flexible reporting, and fast backtesting. Portfolio123 offers a unique mix of technical and fundamental signals, but it will take time to learn.

This Scanz review reveals it is unique, offering Level I/II streaming price, volume, and dollar volume data. Real-time news scanning, including SEC filings, enables you to effectively review and trade news events. While Scanz is a solid product offering, it is somewhat limited in its scope, and for the premium price point, one might expect more.

This TC2000 review shows it is an excellent platform for US stock traders and investors who value robust stock charting, customizable indicators, real-time stock scanning, and a low price starting at $0.

This eSignal review shows that it excels at stock market scanning, and provides technical analysis charting and stock screening. eSignal offers the analysis of Stocks, Futures, Forex, and Options. The entry-level service is higher than competitors starting at $54 to $192 for the best plan. 

This AAII review discovers membership might be worth it if you seek curated stock portfolios or beginner education in stock market investing. Advanced investors seeking to develop specific technical trading strategies should look elsewhere.

This Optuma review reveals it is developed for professional technical analysts in financial institutions but is also available to retail investors. Optuma specializes in exotic charts such as Gann & Relative Rotation Graphs.

This QuantShare review recommends this software to quantitative analysts who develop powerful automated systems and value a huge selection of shared user-generated systems and powerful technical analysis tools.

After 2 years of independent research and testing this Motley Fool Stock Advisor review confirms their excellent performance track record of beating the market. The service provides incredible value for long-term growth investors.

Our Tickeron testing reveals an impressive AI-driven investing platform combining trading Bots, portfolio management, and chart pattern recognition. Best of all, the automated trading algorithms have audited and backtested performance results.
