Frequently Asked Questions

TrueTrader is a professional trading desk environment for retail traders. We provide proprietary scanners, structured strategy systems, a daily livestream trading desk, and a collaborative trading community. Our focus is on reversal trading strategies around the market open.

TrueTrader is built for retail day traders who want a structured, professional approach. Whether you're newer to trading and want to learn a proven methodology, or an experienced trader looking for better tools and a collaborative environment, TrueTrader fits into your workflow.

A trading desk is a group of professional traders working together to monitor markets, identify opportunities, and execute trades in real time. Instead of trading alone, traders share information, discuss setups, and manage risk collaboratively as market conditions evolve. Most trading desks are supported by specialized technology that scans markets for unusual activity or high-probability setups. TrueTrader brings this same structure to retail traders — a collaborative environment backed by proprietary scanners, where decisions are made faster, with more context and discipline than a lone trader typically has.

Three things set us apart: (1) Every trade is called ahead of time on the livestream — no hindsight calls. (2) Our proprietary TrueRadar scanners detect setups objectively — no guesswork. (3) Each Strategy System is a complete toolkit (scanner + indicator + training), not loose tools you have to figure out how to combine.

Some basic familiarity with stock trading is helpful, but our Masterclass course library teaches the complete methodology from scratch. Many successful members started with limited experience and built their skills through the structured training and daily livestream.

A Strategy System is a complete trading toolkit for a specific setup type. Each system includes a TrueRadar scanner (to detect setups), a TradingView indicator (to visualize them on charts), strategy training (to learn the methodology), and livestream examples (to see real executions). Currently available: Gap-to-Close, Spike Reversal, Pivot Reversal, V-Reversal, HullX, Tops, Godlines, and Colinator — 8 systems total.

Your Essentials membership includes the core systems and scanners (Gap-to-Close Pro, Spikes, Standard Pivots, Pre/Post Market). The five advanced systems — Godlines, Tops, Colinator, HullX Pro, and V-Reversals — are available together as the Advanced Scanner Suite add-on.

The Gap-to-Close System is the most popular starting point. It's our highest-frequency setup and the foundation of the TrueTrader methodology. Spike Reversal and Pivot Reversal are also great core systems. V-Reversal and HullX are labeled "Advanced" as they require faster decision-making. Tops, Godlines, and Colinator round out the suite with additional pattern detection.

No. Strategy Systems work independently — you get the scanner, indicator, and training. But the Trading Desk adds the live collaborative environment where you can see setups being called and discussed in real-time. Most members find the combination significantly more valuable.

Every market day, experienced traders run a live trading desk session. You'll see trade discovery using our scanners, hear the reasoning behind each setup, watch risk management decisions, and observe executions — all in real-time, ahead of time. It's like sitting on a professional trading floor.

The Trade Pit is our real-time chat room modeled after professional trading floors. Members discuss setups, share analysis, ask questions, and collaborate during market hours. Moderators provide guidance and keep discussions focused and productive.

The Morning Wire is a daily pre-market briefing published before the bell. It includes key S&P 500 levels, economic calendar events, earnings reports, and opening trade plans. It's designed to get you fully prepared before the session starts.

About 1 hour. The Morning Wire lands in your inbox at 9:15 AM ET with key levels and trade plans. The Professional Trading Desk goes live at 9:25 AM ET and the session runs to roughly 10:30 AM — trading through the open, then member questions. Our TrueRadar scanners handle the heavy lifting — no need for hours of pre-market prep like other approaches. Many members fit TrueTrader into their morning routine before their regular workday.

Squawk is our audio alert system. It delivers real-time audio callouts for setups detected by scanners, market-moving events, and trade alerts from the desk. Think of it as having a professional squawk box on your desk.

TrueTrader Essentials is $195/mo, $1,995 for 12 months (about $166/mo), or $3,499 for 24 months (about $146/mo) — everything included at every term. A 3-day trial is $45. The Advanced Scanner Suite add-on is $1,500/yr or $2,400/2yr. See our pricing page for full details.

Yes. Monthly memberships cancel anytime with no penalties or cancellation fees. Term memberships (12/24 months) run through their term at the locked-in rate.

Not a free one — we offer a paid trial: $45 for 3 trading days of full Essentials access (weekends and market holidays don't count). It is a one-time charge, not a subscription: it does not auto-renew, your card is not charged again, and there is nothing to cancel. If you want to carry on afterwards you pick a membership yourself.

We accept all major credit cards processed through our secure payment gateway. Subscriptions are billed monthly or annually based on your preference at checkout.

TrueRadar is our proprietary scanner suite built over 3+ years to detect specific reversal trading conditions in real-time. Each Strategy System includes its own TrueRadar scanner tuned to detect that specific setup type.

Our TradingView indicators are included with each Strategy System and provide visual overlays for entry zones, stop levels, and targets. A TradingView subscription (free tier works for basic use) is needed to use these indicators.

TrueTrader tools are designed to work alongside your existing broker and charting platform. Scanners run in your browser, indicators work on TradingView, and the Trading Desk is accessible from any device. We're broker-agnostic — use whatever execution platform you prefer.
