Getting the most from Ivy

Ivy is powerful, but like any great tool, you get out what you put in. Here’s how to make your sessions with Ivy as productive as possible: Ask specific questions. The more context you give Ivy, the sharper the answer. Instead of “find me stocks to trade,” try “find me large-cap stocks with earnings in the next five days and implied volatility above 40.” Specificity unlocks Ivy’s full research capability. Complete your risk profile. Ivy uses your risk profile to tailor suggestions to your trading style and tolerance. Take a few minutes to fill it out so her recommendations actually fit how you trade. Use scans as a starting point. Ivy’s pre-built scans — like Scalping, Gap & Go, Mean Reversion, and Inside Bar Volume Surge — are ready to run the moment you log in. Start with one of those to see how scans work, then customize or build your own as you get comfortable. Review AI signals, don’t just follow them. Ivy surfaces opportunities and insights, but the final call is always yours. Use her analysis as a starting point for your own research — ask follow-up questions, check the chart, look at the options — before you pull the trigger. Follow up and refine. If Ivy’s first answer isn’t quite what you were looking for, just say so. Tell her to filter differently, focus on a different sector, or explain her reasoning. The conversation is a two-way street.
