Everything GenZTrade does, in plain English. Use this as a reference any time you're not sure what a tab or feature does.
New to the platform? Start with the Quick Start below.
GenZTrade is a real-time trading intelligence platform for active traders. We surface high-probability technical setups across stocks and ETFs by running market data through six independent signal detectors, then push alerts to your browser the moment a setup fires.
What you get:
Your live dashboard. Six panels in one view: Market Context banner (trend, VIX, breadth), Stacked Conviction (multi-strategy agreement chips), Scalp Alerts (1-min triggers), Tracked Trades (your open positions + automatic stop/target monitoring), Buy The Dip (relative-strength opportunities when SPY is red), and Hedges (suggested protective trades during macro events).
Auto-refreshes every 30 seconds during market hours. Alerts also push instantly via Server-Sent Events when they fire — no need to wait for the next poll.
The multi-strategy scanner. Four tabs:
Each ticker gets a 0–100 score; you can filter to high-quality setups only.
The purple panel in the Cockpit. Six independent detectors run on 1-minute bars for the top 50 high-liquidity tickers, looking for setups that historically resolve in 5–30 minutes. When any detector scores ≥ 75, you get a centered popup banner with sound, plus the alert lands in the side feed.
Click any alert chip to open the chart modal. Click "📍 TRACK" on the popup to start monitoring the position with automatic stop/target alerts.
What each detector looks for:
Click any scalp alert chip → centered modal opens with TradingView Lightweight Charts. Shows the last ~200 1-min candles with VWAP overlay (yellow), Bollinger Bands (BB(20,2), blue), and the BB midline. Resizable, responsive, ESC to close. Use this to confirm the setup before clicking TRACK.
AI-driven trade idea generator. Feeds your watchlist + open positions + market context into an LLM and asks "what's the best trade right now?" Returns structured ideas: ticker, direction, entry/target/stop, position size, hold horizon, win-rate estimate. Pro plan includes 5 calls/day; Elite includes 25.
Daily portfolio review by AI. Reads your tracked positions, P&L, recent trades, and the day's market context. Produces a written game plan: what to hold, what to cut, what to add, sizing adjustments. Best run Sunday evening for weekly planning, or daily at the open for tactical review.
Finds stocks that aren't on your watchlist but are moving big. Filtered to >$50B market cap (no microcap noise). Run this when the morning news isn't enough — discovery catches the names institutional flow is moving without warning.
Live momentum scanner over your top-30 high-liquidity universe. Includes pre-market and after-hours sessions with adjusted thresholds. Useful for finding the day's leaders before they hit the major news.
2–3 month large-cap investment ideas. Less frequent signals, longer hold horizons, focused on quality compounders with strong momentum + reasonable valuation. Run weekly, not daily.
Catches stocks moving in the pre-market (4 AM–9:30 AM ET) and after-hours (4 PM–8 PM ET) sessions. Earnings reactions, news catalysts, gap-up/gap-down setups. The earnings-reaction detector tags WHICH earnings just dropped and HOW the stock is responding.
Log every trade you take — entry, exit, P&L, notes, setup type. Build the habit of reviewing weekly. The Cockpit's "Tracked Trades" can auto-close into the journal when stops/targets hit.
Upload your Fidelity (or other broker) positions CSV to get a Recovery Manager view: P&L by position, percentage from cost basis, suggested next actions (hold/add/cut), earnings dates for each holding. Helpful when you've been hit and need to decide where to take action.
Single-page dashboard run at 8 AM CT: pre-market futures, sector heatmap, top news headlines, today's earnings, macro events, top 5 catalysts to watch. Free for everyone — great pre-market read with your coffee.
FOMC meetings, CPI/PPI releases, NFP, GDP, Fed speeches — everything that moves markets. Color-coded by impact (high/medium/low). The Cockpit's Macro Awareness ribbon also shows the next high-impact event so you don't get caught holding spreads through it.
Share your referral link. When a friend signs up and stays past their trial, you both get $10 credit toward your next month. Stackable up to $50/month off.
Change password, manage your plan (upgrade/downgrade), update notification preferences, configure WhatsApp/Telegram alert push, export your data (GDPR), delete account. Access via the avatar menu (top-right) → "Account settings."
By default GenZTrade polls Yahoo Finance for 1-minute bars at 60-second intervals. Real-time WebSocket feed via Polygon.io reduces alert latency from ~60s to ~2s. Subscribe to Polygon's "Stocks Starter" plan ($199/mo), set POLYGON_API_KEY in your environment, run pip install websockets, and restart. The adapter is dormant by default — no code changes needed to activate.
Each detector includes a 0–100 score based on the strength of the setup (multiplier of volume vs average, distance from VWAP, slope strength, etc.). We push popup alerts only for score ≥ 75 to minimize noise. Backtests on the 6 detectors range from 58% to 72% win rate depending on the pattern; that doesn't mean any individual trade will win, only that over a large sample you'd expect those rates.
Yahoo Finance only serves 1-minute bars during regular trading hours (9:30 AM–4 PM ET, weekdays). Outside RTH, the cache returns empty so detectors have nothing to run on. If you subscribe to Polygon, pre-market and after-hours alerts work too.
Yes — Account Settings → Watchlist (or via API). Trader plan: up to 50 tickers. Pro: up to 100. Elite: up to 200.
With Yahoo Finance polling (default): ~60-second latency from a bar closing to an alert. With Polygon.io WebSocket feed (optional, $199/mo): ~2-second latency.
Account Settings → Plans & Billing → "Manage Subscription" → opens Stripe Customer Portal where you can cancel any time. 14-day money-back guarantee.
No. Your watchlist, tracked trades, and alert history are stored in our database and never sold or shared. We use Stripe for billing (they see your card, we don't) and Resend for email. See Privacy Policy.
The single-user open-source mode is available on GitHub if you self-host. The hosted SaaS at genztrade.ai is the paid product.
