So far I've paid about a thousand dollars for premium scanners and stock alert systems. All of them seem lacking in some way for practical actionable trading. Has anyone found an alert system which instantly sounds as soon as a stock has (for example) increased more than 10 or 20% on the premarket open?
So far I've tried Tradingview premium, Momo Pro, Warrior trading, Benzinga and Trading Ideas.
I suspect some of these scan the market only once a minute, so the average delay is 30 seconds, which is far too late.
Warrior trading settings are fixed, with some scanners linked to volume or other criteria which delays the alert.
Trading view will alert immediately if an indicator setting or line is broken on a specifically chosen stock, so it can be done. Unfortunately I need a scanner covering all low float US stocks which tells me which one meets the criteria. Their screener can in theory be set to show the top gainers, but to update you need to keep refreshing, and there's no audible alert for the screener anyway.
Benzinga provides verbal tickers which meet criteria, but the ticker quickly disappears from the written list.
A trader on YouTube suggested the free Think or Swim scanner could be configured like warrior trading. This means setting up an account with them though.
I might try Trading Ideas again which everyone says is fast, but the last time I tried it seemed to give me false positives beyond what I had set, which deluged me with alerts.
