Trade Ideas Free Stock Market Dashboard: Every Channel Explained

On Friday, November 6, 2026, a three-dollar stock called Gogo finished the day up 75.72%, 451 stocks ran more than 15%, and 5,457 stocks were up on the day. The Trade Ideas Stock Market Dashboard showed all three facts on one free page, in a browser, with no download and no credit card.

The catch is that the dashboard has ten channels, and the useful parts are easy to miss. The heat map has eight different views, the stock card measures relative volumeRelative VolumeRelative volume (RVOL) compares a stock's current trading volume to its average volume for the same time of day, expressed as a multiple — a stock with 5x RVOL is trading five times more actively than normal, signaling unusual interest and Read definition → for you, and one channel even races a stock against its own competitors. This guide walks through every channel with real screenshots, explains what each number means, and ends with a five-minute routine for using it before the open.

The Trade Ideas Stock Market Dashboard is Trade Ideas' browser-based market monitor: ten ready-made channels that show what U.S. stocks are moving, how broad the move is, and why a stock might be in play. It runs in any browser, Mac included, and in a phone's browser. Trade Ideas says a phone app is in the works, but none exists yet.

Trade Ideas calls it the Web Dashboard to separate it from TI Pro, its full Windows platform. The dashboard trades depth for convenience: no setup, no scan building, just channels you click.

These are the ten channels in the sidebar:

Yes. A free Trade Ideas account opens every channel of the dashboard on 15-minute delayed data, and it only asks for your name, an email address and a password. The signup page itself says "Just an email. No card."

Trade Ideas' user guide describes three access levels:

The free account is the sweet spot for learning the market's daily rhythm. You can create a free Trade Ideas account here, and it takes about a minute.

Look at the header once you're in. A small "15 Min Delayed" badge sits next to the search box, and it's your reminder that every number on screen is a quarter hour old.

Live Market Pulse is the dashboard's home screen: an index strip, two scrolling lists of the day's biggest gainers and losers, a heat map, a stock card with a chart, a stock race and an advancers and decliners chart, all on one page. It answers two questions in seconds: what's moving, and is the whole market moving with it?

The top right corner shows the S&P, the Dow and the Nasdaq, each with a mini chart and its change on the day. Below the page title, two tickers scroll the biggest gainers and the biggest losers with price, dollar change and percent change. Click any ticker and it loads into the stock card.

The heat map (Trade Ideas also calls it a treemap) draws every top mover as a box: the bigger the box, the bigger the move in the view you've chosen. On November 6, Gogo led the default view at 76.46%.

The dropdown above the map is the most underused control on the page. It redraws the map by eight measures:

Switching from Change from Close to Last 15 Min on November 6 replaced the morning's gappers with a completely different set of names, led by CCEP at 23.97%. Same market, different question.

The stock card is the panel that loads whenever you click a stock anywhere on the page. For Gogo on November 6 it showed:

Relative volume is the number to read first. A stock moving on 27 times its normal volume has real participation behind it; a stock up 20% on normal volume often doesn't. Our lesson on relative volume (RVOL) explains how to read it.

Yellow tags under the stats flag earnings timing, so a report never catches you by surprise. The chart underneath uses 15-minute candles, tucks a daily chart into the corner, and measures the recent move for you: Gogo's badge read "+71.92% in 3+ days."

The stock race shows the biggest gainers as runners in lanes, each bar growing with its gain, so leaders pull ahead and laggards fall back while you watch. Flip the toggle to Replay Today and the race plays back the whole session in about a minute, which is the fastest way to see when a stock actually made its move.

Next to it, the advancers and decliners chart sorts every stock into buckets by its change on the day. On November 6 the buckets added up to 5,457 stocks up, 3,744 down and 544 flat, with 451 stocks up more than 15%. One glance tells you whether you're trading a broadly strong market or fighting a weak one.

My Stocks holds your watchlists beside a full stock card and chart, so a list of names becomes a quick review: click a symbol, read its card, check its chart.

The Stock Portfolio Tracker is built for paper trading: it shows balance, buying power, today's P&L, exposure, open positions and orders. The charts across the dashboard carry matching buttons: Trade Ticket, Flatten, 1/2, Double and Reverse.

One honest note: those buttons stay grayed out on a free account. Trade Ideas' user guide says paper trading from the dashboards requires switching to live data mode, and live data starts with a paid plan.

Stock Market Races puts two stock races side by side, biggest gainers on the left and biggest losers on the right by default. Above them sits a row of race presets, including gappers, S&P 500 movers and a group of big tech names, and you drag a preset onto a track to reload that race.

Click any runner and its details open below the races: price, volume, float, short float and a chart. The replay toggle works here too, so you can watch the day's leaders and laggards trade places.
