Not Fit For Purpose
IBD products are no longer fit for purpose as CAN SLIM investment tools using William O’Neil’s methodology. SwingTrader is particularly poor - a fast way to lose money…. a sea of red. For example, the last 25 positions closed with 24 losing money, the solo winner gained a paltry 1.5%
Trades on app 20 minutes late
The app is slowed update trades. Sometimes it takes 10 to 20 minutes. You get notifications on the email 10 minutes before getting them on the app. in order to get the trades in a timely manner you have to check between the website the app if you use the VPN Jay Howard will cancel your account.
Poor performance relative to market
Day 1 of subscription and I log into the dashboard to see the YTD performance of Swing Trader is 2% vs 14% (SP500). Perhaps IBD should stick to position trading. What a waste of $50.
Why Push Notifications missing Stock Symbol?
way too many emails and push notifications that say "a new position was added in a stock." Always list the symbol in all alerts please!
Money loser! Save your money
The trading strategy that they use at IBD does not work for swing trading. Tried this app twice in two years, and lost money both times. Leaderboard might be better, but even that app wasn’t great. Save your money and stay away from this app.
