Free signals for watchlist review and paper evaluation
Start with the stocks you want to follow. The free sampler provides up to 3 delayed signals a day, each with an entry, stop, target, confidence, and written rationale. A broker connection is not needed; optional broker-connected workflows are a separate beta.
Updated August 2026
What you can evaluate on the free plan
Up to 3 delayed signals per day
Review a bounded sampler of signal types with an entry, stop, target, confidence, and stated rationale.
Watchlist-first workflow
Keep up to five names in focus, then inspect the context behind each signal instead of scanning a generic feed.
No broker required
Build a watchlist and review or paper-evaluate ideas without API credentials or a deposit.
Dashboard or Discord delivery
Choose where to review signals, then compare current plan limits if you need broader coverage or delivery options.
What the free sampler is—and is not
This is a bounded research workflow. It helps you inspect a setup; it does not predict outcomes, provide personalized advice, or place trades from the free plan.
| Part of the workflow | What the free sampler provides |
|---|---|
| Build a watchlist | Up to five tickers to keep the review focused on names you follow. |
| Review a signal | Up to three delayed daily sampler signals with an entry, stop, target, confidence, and stated rationale. |
| Paper-track an idea | A way to evaluate a thesis and its invalidation conditions, not evidence of live performance. |
| Connect a broker | Not required. Separate optional beta workflows have eligibility and setup requirements. |

Signals are informational and can be wrong. Review the evidence, limits, and risk disclosures before acting on any idea.
Evaluate the workflow before risking capital
Use the sampler to see how a signal is framed: what would support it, what would invalidate it, and how its stated levels compare with later market movement. Paper tracking can make that review concrete, but it is research—not a recommendation or a substitute for your own risk process. Broker-connected beta workflows, where available, have separate eligibility and setup requirements.
Free sampler limits
| Limit | What it means |
|---|---|
| Daily signal limit | Up to three delayed sampler signals per day. |
| Watchlist | Up to five tickers for a focused review workflow. |
| Signal context | Entry, stop, target, confidence, and written rationale; seven days of history. |
| Broker connection | Not required. Optional broker-connected workflows are separate, eligibility-gated beta features. |
| What it cannot do | Place trades from the free plan, guarantee results, or provide personalized investment advice. |
Why start with a sampler?
A short, focused flow makes it easier to separate a signal's stated thesis from the outcome. Build a watchlist, inspect the rationale and invalidation conditions, and paper-track the idea before you decide whether it is useful for your own process.
The free sampler is deliberately limited. If your needs grow, compare the current plan details and any broker-feature eligibility requirements; don't infer live performance from a preview.
Free signal sampler FAQ
What should I look for in a free trading tool?
Look for clear limits, the reasoning behind each signal, and a way to evaluate ideas before risking capital. Tradewink's free sampler provides up to 3 delayed signals per day with an entry, stop, target, confidence, and written rationale. It is designed for review and paper evaluation, not a promise of returns or hands-free trading.
Does the free plan place trades for me?
No. The free plan is for building a watchlist and evaluating signal reasoning. Broker-connected workflows are an optional beta for eligible paid accounts; they require separate setup and are never required to use Tradewink.
Is Tradewink really a free AI trading bot?
The free plan is a signal sampler, not a self-driving trading account. It has no card requirement or expiration and includes up to 3 delayed signals per day across 4 signal types, a 5-ticker watchlist, and 7-day signal history. Paid plans add delivery and analysis features; broker-connected workflows remain optional and eligibility-gated.
What's the catch with free AI trading bots?
The free sampler is capped: it provides up to 3 delayed signals per day, a 5-ticker watchlist, and 7 days of history. It is a way to evaluate the research workflow before considering a paid plan. Tradewink does not custody customer funds.
Do I need to deposit money to use the free bot?
No. You can build a watchlist and evaluate signals without a deposit or a broker connection. Paper workflows are for evaluation only and do not establish how a live order would perform.
Do I need to connect a broker?
No. The core watchlist and signal-review workflow does not require a broker. If you later explore broker-connected features, check the supported-broker page and current eligibility requirements before providing API credentials.
What AI models does the free plan use?
Model assignments can change as providers and plans change. The useful output is the signal context: its entry, stop, target, confidence, evidence, and stated invalidation conditions—not an unqualified model label.
Is it safe to use a free AI trading bot?
No trading tool is risk-free. Tradewink starts with signal review and does not require broker access. If you later use an eligible broker-connected workflow, review its limits, paper mode, and the relevant risk disclosures before enabling it.
