Different Stages, Different Tools
Scanning vs Grading
Trade Ideas scans the entire market for candidates. SnapPChart grades the individual chart once you have a candidate. Both have value, but they solve different problems.
Specific Trade Plans
SnapPChart reads your chart screenshot and returns a specific entry price, stop loss, and two profit targets with R:R ratios. Trade Ideas does not generate individual trade plans.
Works Alongside Any Scanner
Use Trade Ideas, your broker scanner, or any watchlist to find the stock. Screenshot the chart and upload it to SnapPChart for an AI grade before you size up.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is SnapPChart a replacement for Trade Ideas?
No. Trade Ideas (Holly AI) scans the market in real-time and surfaces momentum candidates. SnapPChart grades the individual chart after you have a candidate. They work at different stages of your trading workflow. Many traders use a scanner to find the stock, then SnapPChart to decide whether the specific setup is worth entering.
Why is SnapPChart so much cheaper than Trade Ideas?
Trade Ideas runs a real-time data infrastructure with live market scanning, which requires significant compute and data feed costs. SnapPChart does not scan the market. You bring the chart screenshot, and the AI analyzes it. That is a fundamentally lighter operation, which is why pricing starts at $19.99/mo vs $118+/mo.
Can I use SnapPChart alongside Trade Ideas?
Yes. A common workflow: Trade Ideas surfaces a momentum alert in the morning. You pull up the chart, take a screenshot, upload it to SnapPChart, and get a grade and trade plan before you commit. You get the best of both tools.
Does SnapPChart replace Holly AI?
