Why I built an alternative to Warrior Trading
Warrior Trading is a substantial product with a deep feature set, including 15+ scanner types, real-time charts, an active chatroom, and Ross Cameron's daily livestream. I paid $197/month for Day Trade Dash for several months. In my experience, the platform was built around the education first, the scanner second; the scanner came as part of a bundle with chatrooms, courses, and live trading streams that I didn't need.
The float data was where I personally ran into trouble. On the trades I checked, the float numbers didn't match SEC filings on record. I can't speak to whether that's still the case today or whether other Warrior users have the same experience. I can only say that for my style of trading, accurate float was non-negotiable. PureTrace cross-checks SEC filings against a market data API and surfaces discrepancies rather than hiding them.
$49.95 a month. Or $197.

Why this Day Trade Dash alternative exists
Two years into trading small-caps, I was paying $197 a month for Warrior Pro. In my experience, it gave me charts I already had, AI noise I didn't need, and float data that was sometimes wrong by orders of magnitude.
On a $2 stock running 80% on a press release, that's the difference between a trade and a disaster.
So I built PureTrace. Three scanners. SEC-verified float. Catalyst inline. One plan, full access.
I run it every session. The comparison above is from that experience. If you trade small-caps during US market hours, you'll know in a day whether PureTrace is for you.
