### "User unfriendly zero support no reliable tut" — 2.0/5

> **Keyvan** | *12 July 2024* | Commercial Real Estate | Recommendation rating: 0.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: If you can figure it out it have good scanner but extremely hard to set up and use. Worse than coding.
> 
> **Cons**: It was malfunctioning from the start. I tried three different credit cards, each time encountering a different error, and I ended up giving the card information through a chatbot with a live support to make it work. Once you have access, it is extremely hard to use or to save chart designs or any changes. There won’t be any live support for products only for pay\!

As for Holy AI, the same issues persist. You can't see what it is trading. When you email them, they send you to their YouTube channel. When you call, they never answer their phone. It's a hit-and-miss way to do business. They should care about new customers and at least offer a 30-minute walkthrough. Instead, they again email you a link to YouTube. Their YouTube tutorials are said to be by an AI, and it's not easy to listen to—machine vs. man.

Overall, they charge you $250 per month for hard-to-use software and do not provide a proper user manual.
> 
> Zero support, zero welcome new customers, zero trying to keep you for next month. Not a customer freindly business

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

> **Nicolas** | *20 October 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** | *23 March 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.
