A modern Robinhood alerts alternative
Robinhood is great for executing trades. Its alert system is built around the same simple price-cross model that brokerages have offered since the 1990s — useful but limited. Tickerbot adds multi-condition alerts, fundamentals, ratings, and macro on top, and works alongside Robinhood (or any other brokerage).

Where Tickerbot wins
Multi-condition alerts that brokerages can't do
Brokerage alerts are limited because they were never designed to be the main event — they're an afterthought to the trading product. Tickerbot is built around alerting from the start, so you can write a sentence describing any combination of conditions and have it run continuously.
Brokerage-agnostic
Robinhood alerts only work on your Robinhood account. Tickerbot is independent of any brokerage — set up alerts once, get them on your phone, execute the trades wherever you want.
