Tradewink vs Tickeron
Tickeron is a broad AI research suite with screeners, trading robots, and chart-pattern scans. Tradewink narrows down to AI signals you review, paper trading, and an MCP server you can use from Claude or Cursor. Public subscriptions are paper-only; separately approved private beta accounts may submit live broker orders.

The Core Difference: Broad vs Focused
Tickeron gives you every AI research tool under one roof. If you want scanners, pattern detectors, and robots in a single interface, it delivers breadth.
Tradewink goes narrow and deep: AI signal generation, paper trading only, in a simulator or a paper/sandbox account, and MCP for Claude / Cursor. Public subscriptions are paper-only; separately approved private beta accounts may submit live broker orders. The fewer surfaces mean a faster ramp and tighter integration with how AI assistants work.
Choose on workflow: if you live inside a research dashboard, Tickeron. If you live inside Claude or Discord, Tradewink.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is Tradewink a replacement for Tickeron?
Partial. Tickeron is a broad AI research suite — screeners, trading robots, chart pattern scans, time-machine backtests. Tradewink focuses on three things: generate signals you can review, let you paper trade them with Paper Autopilot in a simulator or a paper/sandbox broker account, and expose your watchlist, strategies, and paper account to Claude via MCP. Public subscriptions are paper-only; separately approved private beta accounts may submit live broker orders. Trustpilot reviewers have noted Tickeron packs 'too much information and tools' into one UI; Tradewink chose to ship fewer surfaces and integrate with AI clients instead.
Does Tradewink scan for chart patterns like Tickeron?
Tradewink's technical analyzer covers support/resistance levels, VWAP, volume zones, and momentum indicators, and AI conviction scoring evaluates those setups in context. It does not present a dedicated chart-pattern gallery (head-and-shoulders, cup-and-handle, etc.) the way Tickeron does. If you rely on visual pattern browsing, Tickeron is the specialist.
Do either work with Claude or Cursor?
Tradewink ships an MCP server (the @tradewink/mcp bridge, with OAuth 2.1 + PKCE sign-in) that works with Claude Desktop, Cursor, VS Code, and other MCP clients. Order tools return a preview by default, need your explicit confirmation, and place paper trades only. Tickeron does not publish an MCP integration — its interface is web-first and API-based.
Which brokers are supported?
Tradewink's public offering is paper trading only. Broker connections are paper or sandbox accounts only — Alpaca paper, Tradier sandbox, Interactive Brokers paper, TradeStation simulated, OANDA practice, and NinjaTrader sim — and broker connections are limited to paper or sandbox accounts. For public-plan users, any real trade is your own decision, placed by you at your broker. Tickeron integrates with multiple brokers for its auto-trading robots as well — consult their docs for the current roster.
Pricing comparison
Both offer free tiers. Tickeron's paid plans scale per feature bundle (screeners, robots, education). Tradewink's paid tiers from $19/month (Starter includes a 7-day free trial) unlock real-time signals and email and webhook alerts, with deeper analysis routing on Pro and Elite. Every public Tradewink plan is paper trading only. Pick based on whether you want broad scanning or focused AI signals.
Can I use both?
Yes. Some traders use Tickeron for discovery (pattern scanner, screeners) and Tradewink for AI-scored setups and paper trading. The two workflows don't conflict: Public subscriptions are paper-only; separately approved private beta accounts may submit live broker orders.
