Is StocksToTrade Worth the Cost? <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I won’t keep you in suspense. While StocksToTrade has its strengths, it’s very<\/em> expensive \u2014 nearly $2k per year \u2014 and it’s really only suited for active day traders. <\/strong>If you don’t mind holding overnight or longer, DIY research using quant ratings systems like Zen Ratings<\/a>, and\/or subscribing to a stock-picking newsletter like Zen Investor<\/a>, are a whole lot cheaper \u2014 and potentially more effective.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Let’s talk about it. In this detailed StockstoTrade review, I\u2019ll walk you through everything the platform has to offer, from its Lead Trainer, Tim Bohen, to the much-discussed Oracle tool and the educational offerings from StocksToTrade University. <\/p>\n\n\n

What Is StocksToTrade?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

StocksToTrade is an all-in-one stock screener and community for day traders. The platform was launched in 2009 and co-founded by popular penny stock trader Tim Sykes. (Check out our Tim Sykes review<\/a> too, if you’re interested.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sykes is responsible for developing the platform’s primary feature: The scanner. (Some people simply refer to it as the “Tim Sykes stock scanner,” as it’s Sykes’ primary tool for finding stocks.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Over the years, StocksToTrade has evolved into more than just a scanner \u2014 it’s a comprehensive platform featuring advanced charting, news integrations, and even broker connectivity.<\/p>\n\n\n

One of the platform\u2019s leading figures is another Tim \u2014 Tim Bohen, the Lead Trainer who advocates a “KISS” (Keep It Simple, Stupid) approach to trading. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bohen is known for his no-nonsense yet warm and welcoming Midwestern style, and his ability to distill complex trading concepts into digestible bites. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bohen is the force that elevates StocksToTrade from another trading tool to a full-fledged educational ecosystem.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
