Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • BigShort is like nothing I've ever found, there is so much valuable information, and it's presented with great UI. There is for sure a learning curve, part of which is unlearning your bad/losing habits. Once you get the hang of, you really develop confidence in your trades, and that, at least to me, makes all the difference.
  • ‪Scam!
  • ⁃ New regular feature updates. The latest feature, Net Option Flow, is just fantastic and incredibly predictive when combined with the rest of the platform. ⁃ Kind trading community and onboarding. I received a one on one onboarding with one of the founders, who took an hour to explain the platform to me. ⁃ Robust charts without all the noise of other platforms. I’ve spent a lot of time on Trading View, and I just feel indicator overload. I’ve also tried option order flow platforms, which just seems like a lot of noise to me and it’s hard to figure out what’s actually actionable. BigShort has found signals that work. ⁃ Market agnostic. Some platforms work fine in bull markets, but as soon as there’s a downturn, watch your portfolio shrink. Over the last few months, I’ve noticed the signals go either bullish or bearish, before the market moves in that direction.
  • Really works, it's no joke, it’s not a scam. The creator of the platform also gives out solid trading recs to paying users. They’ve all been winners so far.
  • Robust and reliable. Predictive and backtestable. Historical data for all tickers. Daytrading and swing trading signals.

Cons

  • I honestly can't say there is anything I don't like.
  • Hard to understand. ‪
  • ⁃ It takes some homework and studying to learn the platform. It took me a bit to wrap my head around their leading indicators, seeing them play out in real-time. But once you figure it out it really is something. ⁃ It’s pricier than the other platforms out there, but for good reason. Sounds like the creators are paying a lot for their data. And their system works well.
  • No signals for crypto or forex. I'm keeping my fingers crossed that there will be in future updates
  • The only con be the price for some people, but for what you get I think it’s very reasonably priced, and there’s a discount for the yearly subscription.

Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • Personally, I use BA to develop, test, and implement a portfolio of equity strategies, with the modest goal of providing my family a little extra income each year. Our results thus far have been terrific and, more importantly, perfectly in line with BA’s modeling. Needless to say, this technical and statistical “accuracy” reinforces my confidence in your product and in my own strategy development process. As an aside, the value that your randomness modeling and variance testing provides is incalculable, particularly in terms of the time and money these two “filters” save me by not having to further test deceptively promising strategies.
  • Extremely easy to test and build all my strategy ideas. I have even found new strategy concepts letting the machine learning build strategies for me. This has been a big time saver and would highly recommend this software to any serious trading system developer.
  • There are so many entry and exit signals and functions that it is nearly impossible to even list them all. I particularly like the non-price signals like market breadth, term structure, treasury spreads as have not found any other software to test these. These things impact the market environment and conditions and in a way all the price action anomalies. Build Alpha let's me test any combination quickly. Big time saver.
  • Very easy to use and generates reliable strategies quickly. Generated code is clean and works well on both TradeStation and NinjaTrader.
  • *Covers every market and timeframe *Tons of included data and ability to add my own *Flexible interface to add/exclude indicators *Super fast results and great stress tests *Reliable code and execution of generated code

Cons

  • While I’ve been a marginally profitable discretionary trader for many years, this is the first time I have ever made any money trading with algorithms, despite decades of effort. Only time will tell how permanent my results will be, but I’m convinced I’ve stumbled upon something special with BA.
  • At this point I do not have any cons or negative things to add
  • Would like to run the software on more than 2 PCs. However, Dave is very good about moving the software to new machines when requested. It is just the one downfall of desktop applications but not a knock at the software’s quality or my experience so far.
  • Limit to two PCs is difficult as I travel and want to have an install on a work PC.
  • *Desktop so limited to two PCs *Need to use virtual environment on Mac (Dave gave discount for Parallels purchase)
