Getting Started

Start with a watchlist, not a broker connection

Build a focused list, inspect the context behind each signal, and decide later whether an optional broker-connected beta fits your process. No broker is required to begin.

How does Tradewink work?

Tradewink starts as a research workflow. Build a watchlist, then inspect each signal's entry, stop, target, confidence, evidence, and invalidation conditions. Use that context to evaluate an idea or paper-track it as part of your own process; it is not a trading instruction or a promise of performance.

Step 1

Build a focused watchlist

Start with the names you want to understand. A focused watchlist makes signal review more useful than a broad, generic feed.

Use the web dashboard

Add the tickers you follow first. Keep the list small enough that you can inspect the context behind each signal.

Build your watchlist

Or in Discord

/watchlist add SPY NVDA

Use `/watchlist show` to review the list and `/watchlist remove NVDA` to keep it focused.

A watchlist gives you a deliberate starting point. You can use it without a broker connection.

Step 2

Review the signal context

Inspect the stated entry, stop, target, confidence, and rationale before treating a signal as an idea worth evaluating.

Use the web dashboard

Read the context and invalidation conditions. Signals are research inputs, not trading instructions or promises of performance.

Review signals

Or in Discord

/signals latest

Use the latest signal as a starting point for your own research and paper evaluation.

Paper tracking can help you evaluate an idea, but it does not establish how a live trade would perform.

Step 3

Consider broker access later—only if it fits

Broker-connected workflows are optional, eligibility-gated beta features. They are separate from watchlist building and signal review.

Use the web dashboard

Check the current broker routes, eligibility, and risk disclosures before you decide whether to provide API credentials.

Read broker requirements

Or in Discord

/help broker

Use the help flow to understand available setup guidance; it is not required for the research workflow.

Do not connect a broker just to get started. Make an informed decision only after you understand the workflow and its limits.

After your first review

Review a few signals against the thesis and invalidation conditions they state. Keep the work at the watchlist or paper-evaluation stage unless you independently decide an eligible broker-connected beta is appropriate for your process.

Review the signal feed to compare each thesis with the available context.

Getting-started FAQ

How to start with research, what the free sampler includes, and when broker access is optional.

What should I do first?+

Build a short watchlist, then review the context behind a few signals. The useful question is whether the stated thesis, levels, and invalidation conditions are clear enough for your own research process.

How much money do I need to start?+

None to build a watchlist and review signals. A broker connection and any trading decision are separate from the free research workflow. Only risk capital you can afford to lose.

How long does setup take?+

Adding a few tickers and reviewing a signal can take minutes. Optional broker workflows can take longer because they have separate eligibility and setup requirements.

Do I need to know how to code?+

No. The web dashboard and Discord commands cover everything. Tradewink ships an MCP integration and REST API for power users on Pro and Elite, but they are optional.

Can I run on paper trading first?+

You can paper-track a signal idea as part of your own evaluation. Paper results do not establish how a live order would perform, and they do not require a broker connection to start the research workflow.

Do I need to connect a broker?+

No. Watchlist building and signal review do not require a broker. Broker-connected workflows are optional beta features with separate eligibility and setup requirements.

What does the free plan include?+

The free sampler includes up to three delayed daily signals, a five-ticker watchlist, and seven days of history. Compare current plan details if you need broader coverage or delivery options.

What if I do not use Discord?+

The web dashboard supports everything Discord does — settings, watchlist, broker keys, live signal feed, billing. Discord is optional.
