MOMO Pro, from Mometic, is a browser-based momentum scanner that starts at $27 a month. Mometic publishes a side-by-side table against Trade Ideas, and many of its Trade Ideas rows were wrong when we first read it. This page puts each of those rows next to the facts, dated October 13, 2026, then compares what the two products actually do.

The short answer
Pick MOMO Pro if you want a low-cost momentum stream in a browser tab or as an installed web app, with the 4 a.m. to 8 p.m. ET session covered and a seven-day free trial to judge it.
Pick Trade Ideas if you want Holly AI Signals every trading day, each with an entry and a stop to manage risk, plus OddsMaker on TI Premium. Ask the AI Assistant for any scan or screen in plain English, or build it yourself in a point-and-click menu with no code, choosing from 310 alerts and 249 filters. Need something that isn't there? Write your own filter in the Formula Editor, then use OddsMaker to test it against every event it would have flagged.

Setting the record straight
MOMO Pro's Trade Ideas column, checked
Mometic's comparison center has a “Trade Ideas vs MOMO Pro” table. When we first read it, on October 13, 2026, its Trade Ideas column was wrong on prices, opening range alerts, streaming, Mac support, news and market meters. We published the facts. Mometic has since rewritten that column; its page now says “Provider documentation checked October 20, 2026.”
On Oct 13, MOMO Pro's table said
What it says now (checked Oct 28, 2026)
Pricing: “TI Standard: $118.00/mo. TI Premium: $228.00/mo.”
“Standard $127/month; Premium $254/month. Annual billing: $1,068 and $2,136.” Correct.
“Trade Ideas does not have ORB support”
“Opening-range breakout and breakdown alerts, including five-minute ranges.” Correct; there are 14, at 1, 2, 5, 10, 15, 30 and 60 minutes, such as ORU5 and ORD5.
“Trade Ideas does not provide streaming”
“Streaming Alerts update in real time; this is also a live scanner.” Correct.
“Doesn't support mobile devices or Mac”
“TI Pro desktop software and web dashboards.” Correct; the Web Dashboard runs in any browser, Mac included.
AI: “an AI chatbot for support”
“Holly AI Assistant; Premium adds AI signals and OddsMaker backtesting.” Correct.
A few rows still say “Not specified” for things Trade Ideas documents:
Real-time news. Trade Ideas has an integrated news feed for the headlines behind a move.
Market meters. Market Pulse in the Web Dashboard gives a read on the whole market.
Squeeze scan. See the squeeze scanner page for the full setup.
One row is right: Trade Ideas has no public API or webhook. Alerts, Top Lists and the AI Assistant run inside Trade Ideas' own apps, and so do Brokerage Plus and, on TI Premium, Money Machine.

The open
Opening range alerts
Key point
On October 13, 2026, Mometic's table said Trade Ideas had no ORB support; it now lists our opening range alerts. Trade Ideas has fourteen of them: a breakout and a breakdown for each of seven windows, the first 1, 2, 5, 10, 15, 30 and 60 minutes. The 1-minute breakout spots the fastest moves, the 5-minute breakout and 5-minute breakdown cover the classic first candle, and the 30-minute and 60-minute versions wait for a wider range. Each alert fires the first time price trades past that range, and each has a help page that explains the math.
Trader tip
MOMO Pro offers its own ORB tool on the Ultra tier, where you define opening ranges in 5-minute steps. In Trade Ideas the opening range alerts come with both plans, and you can narrow them with any filters, such as relative volume, float or gap size, or pair them with a bullish opening power bar in the same window.
Building scans
How many scans you can build
A TI Pro screen during the session.
MOMO Pro's table lists five alert types: VWAP % change, HOD/LOD, % change, Halt and Unusual Volume. Its Pro+ tier adds an 18+ parameter screen builder. The Trade Ideas help documents 310 alerts and 249 filters, each on its own page, and any alert can be paired with any set of filters, every filter taking a minimum and a maximum.
The arithmetic: 310 alerts times 30,876 possible pairs of filters is 9,571,560 alert-and-two-filter combinations, before a single min or max is typed. Add values and alert settings, and the number of scans is effectively unlimited. You do not have to program any of it; the AI Assistant can also build the window from a sentence.

Mac and browser
The Web Dashboard on a Mac
The Trade Ideas Web Dashboard is browser-based, so there is nothing to download and it runs on a Mac. It has Top Lists (Screeners), Races, TreeMaps, Market Pulse with Compare Count and streaming tickers, charting with Picture in Picture, stock details and news, and an Unusual Options Activity channel.
Trader tip
TI Pro is the Windows app. It adds Streaming Alerts, the AI Assistant, and on TI Premium, Holly AI Signals, OddsMaker and Money Machine. On a Mac you can keep the Dashboard open in the browser and run TI Pro through Parallels when you want the full desk. To try the Dashboard first, open a free account.
AI
AI in each product
Key point
Mometic describes Aura, on MOMO Pro Ultra, as an AI trade advisor with agents that work on MOMO's live data. Trade Ideas has two separate AI tools. The AI Assistant, in every TI Pro plan, turns a plain-English request into a live Alert window or Top List (Screener) and answers questions about the market.
Holly AI Signals work from a bank of strategies. Each night Holly backtests them and keeps the ones that qualify; during the session a signal fires with the symbol, an entry and a stop to manage risk. They come with TI Premium, along with OddsMaker, which tests any alert you build as the event.
Past results, including backtests, don't guarantee future results.

Why consider Trade Ideas over MOMO Pro?
Here is our side of the MOMO or Trade Ideas question.
Settings
MOMO Pro is a low-cost momentum scanner that runs in a browser. Trade Ideas names its data: every US exchange, plus off-exchange trades and the NBBO. It has 14 opening range alerts, Streaming Alerts (Scanner) on hundreds of events, and Top Lists (Screeners) you set with a min and max, no code needed. The AI Assistant builds windows from plain English in both plans. TI Premium adds Holly AI Signals and OddsMaker backtesting, which MOMO Pro's plans page doesn't list. Start with a free account, just an email, no card.

Pricing
What each one costs
Prices checked October 2026
MOMO Pro: Pro, $27 a month or $225 a year. Pro+, $47 a month or $395 a year. Ultra, $67 a month or $560 a year. Paid plans have a seven-day free trial that needs a payment method.
Key point
Trade Ideas: TI Standard is $127 monthly or $1,068 yearly (about $89 a month), with real-time data, Streaming Alerts, Top Lists (Screeners), 310 alerts and 249 filters, paper trading and the AI Assistant. TI Premium is $254 monthly or $2,136 yearly (about $178 a month) and adds Holly AI Signals, OddsMaker and Money Machine.
Against MOMO Pro's $27 to $67 a month, the extra covers what runs underneath: a database Trade Ideas built itself and has refined for more than two decades, alerts that can trigger on any single trade, Top Lists re-ranked every 15 seconds, and 191 alerts with their own settings on top of the filters.
A live Stock Race from October 9, 2026.What is better, MOMO or Trade Ideas?
It comes down to how you trade, so here is what Trade Ideas brings to the table. It reads every US exchange plus off-exchange trades and the NBBO. Streaming Alerts (Scanner) fire in real time, often several times a second on a busy stock, and Top Lists (Screeners) rank the movers every 15 seconds. The Channel Bar gives you ready-made scans in one click, and the AI Assistant comes with both plans. TI Premium adds Holly AI buy and sell signals and OddsMaker backtesting. You can open a free account with just an email, no card, and size it up next to MOMO yourself.
Is Momo Meter the same as MOMO?
No. MOMO and MOMO Pro come from Mometic, and that is what this page compares. Momo Meter is a separate small-cap momentum alert tool with its own site, momometer.com (checked October 13, 2026), so the MOMO Pro facts here do not apply to it. If small-cap momentum is your game, Trade Ideas covers it too, with Streaming Alerts (Scanner) across every US exchange and a free account that needs no card.
Is MOMO Pro cheaper than Trade Ideas?
Yes. On October 13, 2026, MOMO Pro listed $27, $47 and $67 a month for its Pro, Pro+ and Ultra tiers. Trade Ideas lists TI Standard at $127 a month or $1,068 a year and TI Premium at $254 a month or $2,136 a year. The $118 and $228 figures Mometic's comparison page showed on October 13 were not Trade Ideas prices; Mometic has since corrected them.
Does Trade Ideas have opening range breakout alerts?
Yes. Trade Ideas has opening range breakout and breakdown alerts for the first 1, 2, 5, 10, 15, 30 and 60 minutes of the session, fourteen alerts in all. Each one has its own help page, for example the 5-minute opening range breakout (ORU5) and the 15-minute opening range breakdown (ORD15).
Does Trade Ideas stream alerts in real time?
Yes. Streaming Alerts can fire on every trade, so an event reaches your Alert window as it happens, and Top Lists (Screeners) re-rank every 15 seconds. Both run on Trade Ideas live market data.
Can I use Trade Ideas on a Mac or without a download?
Yes, with the Web Dashboard. It runs in your browser, needs no download and works on a Mac, with Top Lists, Races, TreeMaps, Market Pulse, charting with Picture in Picture, stock details and news, and an Unusual Options Activity channel. TI Pro, which adds Streaming Alerts, Holly and OddsMaker, is a Windows app that also runs on a Mac through Parallels.
Is the Trade Ideas AI only a support chatbot?
No. The AI Assistant, in every TI Pro plan, builds live Alert windows and Top Lists from a plain-English request and gives you a market readout. Holly AI Signals, on TI Premium, come from strategies Holly backtests and reselects each night, and each signal arrives during the session with an entry and a stop to manage risk.
Does Trade Ideas let me write my own scan rules?
Yes, without programming. Pick any of 310 alerts, add any of 249 filters, and type a minimum or maximum for each filter in the configuration window. The Formula Editor is there if you want a custom formula, and the AI Assistant can build the window from a sentence.
Can I send Trade Ideas alerts to a webhook or another app?
No. Trade Ideas offers no public API or webhook, and third-party services cannot connect to or act on its data or alerts. Streaming Alerts, Top Lists and the AI Assistant all work inside Trade Ideas' own apps. For orders, Trade Ideas Pro sends one-click and automated orders to IBKR, TradeStation, E*TRADE, Alpaca and more, through Brokerage Plus and Money Machine on TI Premium.
