In Warrior's own words
What Day Trade Dash is
Warrior Trading describes Day Trade Dash as "the same tools that expert trader Ross Cameron uses each and every day," designed by Ross and built by his team. It has three parts:
Scanners. "There are 24 Scanners to Choose From!" Warrior lists watch list scanners such as Top Gainers, Top Losers, Top Relative Volume, Top Penny Stocks and Top Large Cap Stocks, and alert scanners such as Small Cap Momentum, Large Cap Momentum, Running Up, Reversals and Halt.
Charts. "Powered by Trading View," with features such as 10-second charts.
News. A feed built for active day traders instead of an endless headline stream.
Key point
Warrior's pitch is simplicity: it "works, right out of the box," with predefined layouts and indicators and simple customizations, and its scanners are meant to "filter out the action that isn't important." Warrior's support center says Ross pairs it with Lightspeed for order entry. All real-time market data is included in the subscription.

The software
Day Trade Dash vs Trade Ideas
This is what a working TI Pro screen looks like.
Day Trade Dash is the software side of Warrior Trading. It puts preset scanners, TradingView-powered charts and a news feed in your web browser. It costs $197 a month, or $147 for Warrior Starter and Pro members. Real-time market data is included. In Trade Ideas, that work is divided between two tools.
Alerts as they happen. Day Trade Dash has alert scanners such as Small Cap Momentum, Running Up and Halt. Trade Ideas Streaming Alerts are the scanner. Each alert arrives the moment the event happens.
Ranked lists. Among its watch list scanners are Top Gainers and Top Relative Volume. Trade Ideas Top Lists (Screeners) are the screener. They rank every stock that meets your filters and update every 15 seconds.
Ready-made on day one. Both work without setup. Every Trade Ideas plan has the Channel Bar in TI Pro. There is no need to configure anything.
Room to grow. Warrior's Day Trade Dash pages list simple customizations. They don't list a backtester. In Trade Ideas you can open and change any scan. OddsMaker tests it against past trading days. Holly AI Signals bring you daily trade ideas. OddsMaker and Holly AI Signals are on TI Premium.
Trade Ideas is a good fit for a beginning trader who wants the premium experience. There is no need to configure anything. You see the speed and power of the market as it moves. Momentum shows up on screen as it builds.
The Channel Bar. It works like Netflix. Channels are already set up around themes a beginner wants to watch, such as big momentum movers or S&P 500 stocks moving up fast. Click one to watch live Alerts and Top Lists (Screeners). You get it in TI Pro with every Trade Ideas plan.
Stock Races.Stock Races put the market on screen as a live race. You can see which stock has the most momentum at a glance.
The free Trading Room. Barrie Einarson leads the Trade Ideas Trading Room. A whole community of traders learns live with him.
The AI Assistant. Every TI Pro plan includes AI Assistant. Describe the scan you want in plain English, and it builds the Alert window or Top List for you.
Practice first.Paper trading lets you practice with pretend money on live prices. OddsMaker lets you test a setup against past trading days.
Trader tip
The same software grows with you. When you are ready, you can build your own scans, test them in OddsMaker, automate them with Money Machine and add Holly AI Signals. New to trading? Start with our guide for beginners.
Room to grow
Ross's scanner types, rebuilt from Trade Ideas building blocks
A preset scanner is a set of rules someone else chose for you. That is a good thing when you are learning a specific strategy. The catch is that you can't easily see or change why a stock made the list, or check whether those rules still work in this month's market. With Trade Ideas you can start on the Channel Bar and go further whenever you like. Trade Ideas gives you the parts so you can build the same kinds of scans and then adjust them. These are the closest Trade Ideas pieces to the scanner types Warrior lists, not copies of Warrior's rules:
When none of the 308 alerts and 249 filters says exactly what you mean, the Formula Editor lets you script your own filter, or you can describe the scan in plain English to the AI Assistant.
Each of those building blocks is documented in our help: 308 alerts and 249 filters. Any alert can be combined with any filters, each with a min and max, and 191 alerts have a setting of their own, such as the minimum dollar move on Running Up Now or the volume ratio on a 1-minute volume spike. The open has its own set: opening range breakouts and breakdowns at 1, 2, 5, 10, 15, 30 and 60 minutes, such as the 2-minute breakout, and the bullish opening power bar. Multiply 308 alerts by the 30,876 ways to pick two filters and you get 9,571,560 pairings, so the scans you can build are effectively unlimited.

Test it first
Check a setup in OddsMaker before you trade it
Keep in mind
The Day Trade Dash page doesn't list a way to test a scanner against past data. That matters when you are copying a style: Ross's results come from Ross's judgment, and a scanner alone doesn't tell you how its alerts played out without him. OddsMaker replays your alert and filters across all stocks over past trading days, with your own entry, stop and exit rules, and reports the trades, win rate and profit factor. If your small-cap momentum scan only works in the first 30 minutes, OddsMaker shows you that before your account does.
Past results, including backtests, don't guarantee future results.
AI and automation
Holly brings you trades; Money Machine can take them
Keep in mind
Holly AI Signals fire during the trading day with a symbol, an entry and a stop to manage risk. Holly is designed to look for stocks with large long-term potential. Many signals won't work out. You choose whether to exit the same day or hold, based on your risk.
Holly isn't limited to one style. It picks its strategies by running OddsMaker-style tests every night, so it isn't tied to a single small-cap momentum playbook. See Holly AI Signals.
Settings
When you want rules to run without you, Money Machine trades from your own Top Lists (Screeners) and Streaming Alerts, sets a stop and target for each stock from its volatility, and sends orders through Brokerage Plus to a connected broker. Its Simulated Mode lets you watch it trade before real money is involved.
Real time
Both are real-time. Trade Ideas shows you more of the market
Keep in mind
Day Trade Dash includes real-time market data, and momentum trading doesn't work without it. Streaming Alerts use Trade Ideas' own live market data. They can fire on every trade, sometimes more than once a second. If you are okay with static non-refreshing data, Trade Ideas is probably not your best choice.
Keep in mind
Trade Ideas also monitors unusual options activity across all stocks, through a dedicated channel that runs in TI Pro and in the Web Dashboard. Day Trade Dash's page doesn't list options activity.

Why consider Trade Ideas over Warrior Trading?
Key point
Picking Warrior Trading or Trade Ideas is your call, so here are the facts on our end.
Trader tip
Warrior Trading pairs training with its Day Trade Dash scanners. Trade Ideas also gives beginners ready-made scans in the Channel Bar, on every plan, plus a free daily Trading Room. You can rebuild Ross-style scanner types from Trade Ideas building blocks and check a setup in OddsMaker on TI Premium before you trade it. Holly AI Signals, also on Premium, bring you finished trade ideas. Data comes from every US exchange, plus off-exchange trades and the NBBO. The AI Assistant is in both plans, and a free account is just an email.

Honest take
Who Day Trade Dash is better for
Change from the open, ranked in real time.
Warrior Trading students who want to see exactly the scanners Ross calls out in the room, so lessons and live trading line up.
Small-cap momentum specialists who are happy with one proven style and don't need to test others.
Traders who like TradingView charts with 10-second bars inside the same subscription as their scanner.
Practice-first traders who want the simulator with Level 2 bundled in.
Trader tip
Warrior Trading knows Trade Ideas well. Its own Trade Ideas review, last updated in March 2025, rates it 4.8 out of 5 and says, "When it comes to AI scanners, there is nothing else that compares." So the honest comparison isn't Warrior against Trade Ideas. You can start on either without building a scan first. Trade Ideas adds themed channels, a free Trading Room, OddsMaker and Holly AI Signals.
