SwingTrader by IBD

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.

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.

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!

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.

推送不及时，建仓完全不遵循CANSLIM理念。

This app is supposed to give you alerts on swing ideas by the geniuses at IBD. However multiple times during the day it kicks you out and logs you off without notice and you have to retype your password. It also slams this weird thing in your face where you have to hold your thumb on the screen to ‘prove’ that you are human, randomly throughout the day. Supposing the app hasn’t logged you out, when there is an alert, you have to play a game of where’s Waldo to actually see what the alert symbol is. It may take you 1 to 2 minutes of fiddling on the app and jumping from screen to screen to see what the genius idea from IBD is. The alerts are not timely if I’m getting them 2 minutes after it’s been sent. All this supposing there is actual value in their alerts. We’re not in 2020 anymore and you have to struggle to see a difference between performance of IBD swing ideas and a random basket of Nasdaq/S&P stocks.

What a terrible app! Lacks basic functionality like notifications, easy navigation. The email button is not doing anything.

Awesome app. If you know how to manage your risk, this will consistently make you money without having to think. A great “passive” side gig!

Marketing material on their website shows a slick looking full screen app on an iPad. Such a thing does not exist. App is phone size, looking anything but slick as such. It’s not 2007 any more. If IBD can’t be bothered to provide a full screen iPad app … they don’t deserve subscription dollars. Others indicate alerts are delayed. Swing trading relies heavily on timing. A delay is alerts is unacceptable.

I’m not sure why the issues with this app have not been addressed. Constantly logs you out and the “email us” link in the concierge doesn’t do anything.The last update was 11 months ago
