Robert, I don't know how many symbols are supported. I remember selecting the exchanges (NYSE, AMEX, and NASDAQ), but I do not remember specifying a symbol list or number of stocks. I also remember getting way more alerts than I could handle. I used QuoteTracker at the time and since Trade-Ideas is integrated, I could click on an alert to instantly bring up a chart. Trade-Ideas is also integrated with several trading platforms like Scottrade, ETrade, RealTick, eSignal, and many others.
Drop an email to Trade-Ideas support ([email protected] <mailto:[email protected]> ) to find out if there is a max symbol list size.
