About Tradewink
Build a watchlist. Understand every signal. Decide for yourself whether a setup deserves more research, paper tracking, or nothing at all.
Less noise, more context
Traders do not lack data. They lack a clear way to decide what is relevant to the tickers they follow, what would invalidate an idea, and where the uncertainty remains.
Tradewink combines market research, watchlists, explainable signals, and paper tracking. A signal is context to inspect—entry, stop, target, reasoning, and risk—not a trade instruction or a promise.
Meet Winkie
Winkie is the 8-bit owl you will see across Tradewink, and the voice of the in-app assistant (“Ask Winkie”). Review the published setups and available screening decisions: Winkie walks you through the setups that passed, the ones the rules turned down, and the reason for each.
Winkie is a character, not a forecast. It does not predict prices, promise returns, or know more than the data in front of it. Public subscriptions are paper-only; separately approved private beta accounts may submit live broker orders.
Research and tools by market
Coverage varies by account and configuration. Start by learning and evaluating the market you follow. Practice runs in a simulator or a paper/sandbox account. Public subscriptions are paper-only; separately approved private beta accounts may submit live broker orders.
Stocks
Momentum, mean-reversion, breakout, VWAP, and opening range strategies, with a micro-account mode (fractional shares) for accounts under $1,000.
Options
Multi-leg strategies, Greeks-aware sizing, IV rank routing, and exercise/assignment handling.
Futures
ES, NQ, RTY, YM and their micro counterparts with continuous contracts and auto-rollover.
Crypto
24/7 coverage of major pairs, with crypto-specific risk limits and paper tracking.
Forex
Major and minor pairs via OANDA with session-aware screening and pip-based risk management.
How We Approach This
Your broker account stays yours
You do not need to connect a broker to use watchlists, signals, education, or paper tracking. Broker connections are limited to paper or sandbox accounts, and Tradewink cannot withdraw funds. Public subscriptions are paper-only; separately approved private beta accounts may submit live broker orders.
Signals show their work
Signals present the setup, supporting context, risk levels, and limitations so you can evaluate the idea instead of receiving a black-box call.
Transparent, not a black box
We publish methodology, limitations, and negative findings. A signal can be useful context and still be wrong, stale, or unsuitable for your situation.
Paper Autopilot stays inside your limits
Paper Autopilot is off until you turn it on, runs only in a simulator or a paper/sandbox account, and follows the limits you set. It does not replace your own judgment or risk process.
Reviewable improvement, not autopilot
We inspect outcomes, errors, and limitations to improve the product. That process does not turn a historical result into a forecast, and it does not make a signal personalized advice.
Product maintenance
We use production monitoring and reviewable change requests to investigate reliability issues before they become product changes.
Adaptive strategy selection
Market context can change which research lenses are useful. We expose that context as information to inspect, not a substitute for independent validation.
Recent product changes
- September 2026: rebuilt the Trading and Signals workspaces under one navigation, with holdings first, a filterable trade history, and your plan status in every workspace header. Its charts show reported trade records, not live account equity.
- August 2026: an evidence-first review workflow: record a private review decision on each signal, get a decision brief, and come back to paper reviews. Saving a review never creates an order.
- July 2026: a public accuracy methodology page (methodology only, no live trading results).
- April 2026: removed unused market-data vendors to simplify the data stack.

How we keep the research grounded
Market data comes from providers such as Polygon.io (with yfinance as a fallback), Finnhub, FRED, SEC EDGAR, and CoinGecko for crypto. We use multiple sources and monitoring to identify stale or inconsistent inputs where possible.
Models can summarize and organize information, but they can be wrong. Tradewink keeps model routing explicit and shows the context, risks, and limitations around published signals.
Broker connections are optional and limited to paper or sandbox accounts for paper trading. Public subscriptions are paper-only; separately approved private beta accounts may submit live broker orders.
Credentials for supported paper or sandbox connections are encrypted and used only for the paper actions you configure. You can keep the full product research-first by not connecting an account.
