Day Trading / Swing Trading
Humbled Trader day-trades premarket gappers and swing-trades daily-chart pullbacks, scanning in Trade Ideas and executing through Interactive Brokers. In 2026 she started building her own AI scanner and trade dashboard with Claude and Codex. Here is her full stack, what it costs, and the cheaper tools that do the same jobs.

Her saved small-cap scan looks for stocks up 10% or more with 20,000+ shares traded before the open.
Avg views per video is total channel views divided by public video count, the channel average. Stack range runs from the Free Start bundle to the priciest bundle. All figures 2026.
Market focus
Holding period
Preferred conditions
Premarket gap above 3%, price above $3, market cap at least $1 billion, and strong premarket relative volume.
The exact trigger, stop, and exit are not publicly detailed for every variation.
A gap above multi-month resistance on a meaningful catalyst, preferably above the 200 SMA.

A large cap above $1 billion breaks its daily downtrend on unusually high volume, preferably reclaiming the 200 SMA.
She allows occasional entries below the 200 SMA, so treat it as a preference, not a rule. More sources: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i37xXd_wI5k&t=918s · https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i37xXd_wI5k&t=961s
Weeks of selling below the 200 SMA on a negative catalyst she judges temporary.
More sources: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i37xXd_wI5k&t=1133s · https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i37xXd_wI5k&t=1166s
Shay trades the short side too. Her 2026 AI dashboard tracks day-long, day-short, overnight, and swing trades as separate groups so she can compare them.
Specific short-entry rules are not publicly detailed in the reviewed videos. Short access and locates come from her broker (see Execution and Short Locates). A fixed account-risk percentage is not publicly detailed; she wants acceptable reward relative to the distance to support (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i37xXd_wI5k&t=2139s).

The Full Stack
Their pick on the left. Same job, different tool on the right. Prices sit side by side so you can do the math.
Scanner recipe
Two saved Trade Ideas scans plus one tutorial alert, dated 2026-02-25. The swing scan runs midday and is reviewed on daily charts.
Each scan is dated and stays separate. Gap, change from close, premarket volume, and total-day volume are different fields, and vendors calculate relative volume differently. A scan is a candidate list, not a trading command. From her 2026 record review, she favors liquid names with ADR above 4%. That is her preference, not a tested universal threshold.▶ 5:00

Their pick
Standard $127/mo or $1,068/yr ($89/mo equivalent); Premium $254/mo or $2,136/yr ($178/mo equivalent)
Her plan tier is not public. Premium adds AI signals and backtesting.
Why they use it. Separate saved scans for large-cap gaps, small-cap gaps, and new highs, with custom columns and several setup windows.
Affiliate link
Their pick
Built with her AI subscriptions (see AI Assist); TradingView plan separate
A demonstration, not a confirmed part of her daily routine.
Why they use it. Runs her filters at 8:30 a.m., then every 30 minutes through 2:00 p.m., and sends candidates to review by hand.
Same job, different tool
$0 platform + $4.50/mo for selected U.S. consolidated L1 (tapes A/B/C)
Replaces. Gap, price, cap, and volume candidate scans inside her broker

$39.50/mo or $299.50/yr
Replaces. Real-time extended-hours stock screening
What you give up. No tape or broker routing; exact relative volume and alert match not verified
Affiliate link
Keeping Trade Ideas makes sense if you rely on its event library and multiple setup windows. If you need AI signals or backtesting, check Premium's features before choosing Standard.

Affiliate link
Their pick
$0 platform; her data package is not public
Priced example: tapes A/B/C $4.50 + Nasdaq TotalView $16.50 = $21/mo (non-professional).

For DAS
$0 platform + $21/mo selected non-professional stock data
Replaces. Execution platform, charting, depth, and tape
What you give up. Different hotkeys, routing, and broker connectivity; Nasdaq depth is not every venue's book; short locates stay broker-specific

Paper-test the execution layout first. Keep a specialist broker or DAS setup if locating hard-to-borrow shares or a specific routing and hotkey process is essential. Charts alone do not create short inventory.

Affiliate link
Same job, different tool
$20/mo or $200/yr

Affiliate link
Same job, different tool
$0
Replaces. Email delivery for the morning report (3,000 emails a month, 100 a day)
What you give up. Needs an authenticated sender and domain; a new domain is a separate cost
Affiliate link
Keep Claude Max if you need its higher usage capacity. A second model is a cross-check, not an independent verification service.

Stock and swing execution, with VWAP and a daily 8 EMA on her charts. Same job, different tool: Native TWS with Nasdaq TotalView + tapes A/B/C at $0 platform + $21/mo selected non-professional stock data.
For scanning, Humbled Trader uses Trade Ideas (used in 2026; Standard $127/mo or $1,068/yr ($89/mo equivalent); Premium $254/mo or $2,136/yr ($178/mo equivalent)); AI-built scanner (Claude, TradingView and Python, alerts to Telegram) (experiment 2026; Built with her AI subscriptions (see AI Assist); TradingView plan separate).

Shay of Humbled Trader exports her broker trades into a dashboard built with Claude and Codex, then compares day, overnight, and swing trades by side and holding period. The goal is simple: find the mistakes you keep repeating in your own record.
Watch on YouTube23:29 · 2026
Shay swaps her 6 a.m. routine for Claude and Codex cross-checking an emailed premarket report, including a gap scan for moves over 3%, price above $3, and $1 billion-plus market caps. The scan is only a candidate list, so trend, catalyst, and key levels still get checked first.
Watch on YouTube32:45 · 2026
Shay walks through her Trade Ideas setup: separate saved scans for large-cap gaps, small-cap gaps, and new highs, with custom columns and several setup windows. Before the open, every hit still gets checked for catalyst, levels, and liquidity on the live chart, Level 2, and tape.
Watch on YouTube25:07 · 2026
Shay's beginner course covers her execution setup, with VWAP and a daily 8 EMA on the charts plus depth and tape panels. The habit worth copying is confirming liquidity on depth and tape before an entry, and using a broker that gives you short access.
Watch on YouTube37:37 · 2026
Shay lays out three swing setups: pullbacks near the daily 8 EMA, high-volume breaks of a daily downtrend, and bottoms entered only after a daily close above the 8 EMA. Stops go at structural support, not the average alone, and profits come off in quarter-size partials into resistance.
Watch on YouTube31:20 · 2026
Shay builds an AI scanner with Claude and TradingView that runs her filters at 8:30 a.m., then every 30 minutes until 2 p.m., and sends candidates to Telegram. Treat it as a demo, not her confirmed routine, and note every alert still gets a manual review.
Watch on YouTube48:23 · 2025
Shay sets up Interactive Brokers TWS charts, order entry, scanner, and layout, with VWAP and a daily 8 EMA on her charts plus depth and tape panels. The platform costs nothing, so budget for market data and use those panels to confirm liquidity before entry.

Shay itemizes her 2022 trading costs, from a direct-access platform for execution, depth, and tape to Benzinga Pro, Briefing, and FlashSEC for squawk, earnings calls, and SEC filings. It is a dated snapshot, so check current prices and whether she still uses each one.

Shay tours her 2021 desk: two LG 38-inch curved ultrawides stacked vertically, replacing four 24-inch displays, on a VIVO tall mount and an Autonomous SmartDesk. It is a dated snapshot with gifted monitors, and you do not need this hardware to trade her strategy.

Shay's beginner lesson covers how to read Level 2 and time and sales for day trading. It also links a free written trade review, a useful habit, though that link does not confirm how she journals today.
