### "No Customer Service" — 1.0/5

> **Joseph** | *August 7, 2026* | Financial Services Software | Recommendation rating: 0.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: It's not that expensive for the tools you get. Very flexible in establishing trading strategies and tracking them when it works
> 
> **Cons**: Cumbersome, complicated, non-existent customer service. I have to run it on Windows, I have to restart each strategy every day. So you need to have access to your pc or you're out of luck.
> 
> Customer support non-existant&#10;I'm trying to use this complicated software is hard  enough. There are a lot of resources available but extremely cumbersome. I've been trying to get a simple answer on the strategies and why I'm losing association of positions to strategies. Probably a simple answer, but I've tried emailing, calling over and over and get no response. I have a pro account and to about 20-40 trades a day. The software is unusable if this keeps happening. Go somewhere else. After spending several months with this I make more on trades on my own than with this software.

### "Best scanner on the market" — 4.0/5

> **Nicolas** | *October 20, 2025* | Business Supplies & Equipment | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: The software is really made for traders. The user interface is easy to use and to configure and most important very stable. Data management is very powerful.
> 
> **Cons**: The "weakness" is the charting area, there are lacking of some basic indicators (SAR, EMA, OBV, FINONACCI).
> 
> My overall experience is very positive, using the tool every day for scanning the market and identifying buying signals. Customer support is very efficient as well\!

### "Trade Ideas: It's what's for dinner\!" — 5.0/5

> **elijah** | *March 23, 2024* | Entertainment | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: The live real time scanners. Sense etrade got rid of strategy scanner there's nothing else you can use to build real time live scanners. I mean at this point you don't even need to keep advertising it. You're literally all there is.
> 
> **Cons**: I hate those giant race things that take up most of the screen. You need to make those adjustable in size. It's also overly complex to build a docked layout. A non docked window layout is easy, but a docked one is hard, and I flip between multiple screens so I'm constantly minimizing things down and pulling them pack up. That's a serious pain in the butt when it's not a docked layout.
> 
> It fills the roll of strategy scanner that got removed from etrade pro which was absolutely critical to the kind of trading I do. And don't get me wrong, I do LOVE trade ideas, it's an absolutely invaluable service. It's completely customizable, easy to learn, especially if you used to use strategy scanner because it's the same thing even the alert and filter icons are the same graphics lol.
