    Although its not right 100% of the time, (nothing is!!), it has worked well for me in the past and I would like to pass it along to you all...

    iStockAlerts makes “buy,” “sell,” and ”hold” recommendations for stocks based on 9 technical indicators and a proprietary algorithm we developed. iStockAlerts runs these 9 indicators through our unique algorithm and weighting system to ultimately come out with a composite score for each stock and therefore give the user a “buy,” “sell,” or “hold” recommendation.

    Users can create a customizable watchlist of up to 20 stocks and iStockAlerts will track, monitor, and alert the user when a recommendation changes. iStockAlerts does all the work, so users don’t have to. After clicking on a stock in your watchlist, users are brought to a 4-day chart of the stock, along with a breakdown of which indicators determined how the overall recommendation was made. iStockAlerts is perfect for short term traders or anyone interested in the stock market.

    iStockAlerts has been featured in local news, as well as Crain’s Chicago Business and it soon to be featured as an exclusive on CBS Orlando.

    Really great app to be honest!
    Imagine if some professionals helped with that app, it could be something even better than it already is xD

    As always, good to conduct your own due diligence before dropping some money into something. In any case, even just out of pure curiosity it can be intriguing to see how well this works.

    I'll check it out, much appreciated.

    Great way for investors, especially beginners, to get a hang of the trading game. They can review the suggestions made by this app, and study as to exactly what were the reasons behind the manifestations of these choices, and henceforth the novice investor can either heed the advice as given by the app or make his/her own decision as to what feels best, in a more informed way

    Depending on the cost of the app, this good be a great tool. I would use just because a teenager made it. He hasn't been too tarnished by this game yet. Thanks for posting. I'm going to check it out.
