Money Machine trades from your Top Lists and Streaming Alerts. It sets and adjusts stops for each stock, and it can retry or reverse a trade based on your rules.
Past results, including backtests, don’t guarantee future results.
Top Lists (Screeners) and Streaming Alerts (Scanner)
Not alerts alone — Top Lists (Races / Tree Maps) keep you in the top runners.
Custom risk per stock
Key point
Each name gets its own stop and targets from that stock’s volatility — not one blunt rule.
Retry. Reverse. Hybrid.
Retry and reverse under pressure — plus your own tickets and Price Alerts while it runs.
Power tool, not a promise.
How the Trade Ideas Money Machine works, step by step
It trades from your Top Lists (Screeners) and Streaming Alerts
Keep in mind
Money Machine is the automated trading part of Trade Ideas. It does not pick stocks at random. It trades from the Top Lists and Streaming Alerts you already use, so the stocks it works on are the ones your own scans put in front of you. Top Lists, including Races and Tree Maps, keep it focused on the top runners instead of on alerts alone. For the full picture, from signal to order, see how AI automated trading works.
Money Machine strip: positions, orders and P&L in one place.
Each stock gets its own stop and target
Money Machine sets a stop and a target for every stock from that stock's volatility. A fast-moving stock gets room to move, and a quieter stock gets a tighter stop. It does not apply one blunt rule to every name, and it adjusts stops as the trade develops.
It retries and reverses when the trade pushes back
Settings
When a trade pushes back, Money Machine can retry the entry or reverse direction, based on how you set it up. You choose the rules, and it follows them the same way every time.
Simulated Mode now, live trading coming soon
Money Machine places and manages its trades in Simulated Mode, so you can watch automated trading work without risking real money. Sending its orders to a live broker account is coming soon. For trades you place yourself, Brokerage Plus, the order and position window in Trade Ideas Pro, connects to IBKR, TradeStation, E*TRADE and Alpaca. See the brokers page for details.
Pick a strategy channel, then let Money Machine follow it.
You stay in control while it runs
Settings
You are never locked out. You can place your own tickets and set Price Alerts alongside the automated trades, and step in whenever you want.
A power tool, not a promise
Money Machine automates the work of entering and managing trades from your own scans. It does not remove market risk, and your results depend on the rules you set and the market you trade.
