Being able to find dependable trading aids can help any trader who wants to improve their trading acumen. The trading aids offered on Real Time Markets are designed to provide additional information and help users find the best trades available. The idea is to help users incorporate these trading aids in their daily routine and come up with a series of smart, safer trades.

These trading aids are especially clear on Real Time Markets in the market pulse, news roundup, market scans and alert sections. These areas on Real Time Markets are designed to push users toward finding the sort of stock and options trade that meet the safe and sensible guidelines produced by BetterTrades, the stock market education company that markets the tool.

Market pulse allows the user to put their finger on how the stock market is moving that day. It identifies the big gainers and big losers, based on price, percentage or volume. Such information can be especially helpful to someone who is interested in trading the news. It is presented as a snapshot and updated several times each hour. Users can get information from the New York Stock Exchange, the American Stock Exchange, the NASDAQ, and other assorted exchanges and through various filters.

The news roundup allows a user to keep up with any breaking news on the market. The page is alphabetically designed and flows the current and updated news onto the site as it comes in from the various sources. This trading aid is another that will be particularly helpful for anyone who wants to embark on a little news trading.

The market scan feature is perfect for enabling the user to identify stocks that meet specific criteria (price, volume, etc.) that can be used to find and potentially trade.

The alerts feature permits a user to instruct Real Time Markets to send an e-mail or a text message when a stock meets a specific price. This may signal a good time to enter or exit a trade and you can find out about it through this trading aid.
