Trade Ideas plans: Free vs Basic vs Premium

Don't buy a plan based on "more features". Buy a plan based on the workflow you're trying to run.



If you just want the answer

  • If you’re still learning the UI: start cheaper.
  • If you’re trying to automate or you care about serious backtesting: you’ll usually end up on the top tier.

Quick pick (by your situation)

Type 1: New to Trade Ideas

Start with the cheapest option that lets you learn the UI. Your first goal is not advanced features. Your first goal is one clean workflow.

Use this path: - Start here - First time in Trade Ideas - Top List Window

Type 2: You have TI but it's noisy

Don't upgrade out of frustration. Fix the lane first.

Do these pages in order: - Filters that matter (lane) - Alert Window tips (reduce noise) - Symbol Lists



What changes by plan (high level)

I keep this high level on purpose, because inclusions change. Use the official page for the exact feature list.

In practice, you're choosing between: - learning / basic workflow - full-time scanning + alert workflow - advanced testing/automation workflow

The plan mistake that wastes the most money

People buy more plan than they need and still feel lost. Because they never built: - a lane - a ranked list - an alert window they can tolerate

If you build those three, the plan decision becomes obvious.
