Frequently asked questions

TradeNova is a quantitative options-research service. We run a multi-strategy system that screens a curated universe of liquid U.S. equities and ETFs every trading day, hunting for short-term options setups with favourable risk/reward. Most candidates are filtered out at the first gate — the few that pass every check are published to subscribers as ranked, time-stamped trade ideas with a clear rationale.

No. TradeNova is a research and signal service, not a broker-dealer or registered investment advisor. We do not hold customer funds, take custody of accounts, or place trades on your behalf. You execute every idea yourself in your own brokerage account using your own judgement.

Depending on plan: ranked daily picks delivered through the trading session, real-time alerts via email and (on paid plans) SMS, a performance dashboard with realised P&L on every published signal, weekly forensic recaps, and access to the methodology documentation. Higher tiers add deeper signal-attribution views, priority support, and read-only API access.

Email is included on every plan. Paid plans add SMS for U.S. mobile numbers and the in-product dashboard with live updates. Additional channels (Discord, Telegram, WhatsApp) are on the public-rollout roadmap.

Independent signal generators look at the market from fundamentally different analytical angles — flow, catalyst, and structure — and feed a diversified set of trading strategies. A multi-stage quality gate enforces liquidity, premium-efficiency, and risk filters before a candidate is even eligible for publication. A multi-agent AI consensus layer reviews every survivor. A final ranking stage publishes the top ideas of the session. Anything that does not survive every gate is dropped. We do not disclose scoring weights, thresholds, or per-filter parameters; the published idea is the output, not the recipe.

The platform runs a diversified strategy stack tuned to different opportunity classes — short-term tradable structure, ticker-specific downside setups, asymmetric upside in calls, and small-allocation lottery-style positions. A meta layer fires only when independent strategies converge on the same name; historically this is the highest-conviction setup the platform produces. We deliberately do not publish a strategy-by-strategy breakdown of parameters or thresholds.

Yes — but as a confirmation layer, not as the primary signal source. A multi-agent AI consensus layer reviews every candidate idea independently, and the system only publishes when the agents reach sufficient consensus. Separately, a closed-loop learning layer reads from realised outcomes and trims strategies that under-perform. We deliberately avoid 'one giant LLM picks stocks' style architectures — they are unreliable in production and impossible to forensically audit.

A curated universe of liquid U.S. equities and ETFs across all major sectors — mega-cap tech, semiconductors, software, fintech, energy, biotech, consumer, media, AI infrastructure, and selected catalyst-driven names. The universe is rebuilt each morning before the open against fresh liquidity and event-proximity filters. Exact ticker counts, sector weightings, and selection rules are intentionally not published.

Continuously throughout the trading session — pre-market scans, regular-hours scanning at high cadence, and after-hours sweeps. Ranked picks are published multiple times per session at curated points in the day. Exact scan cadence and publication timestamps are intentionally not disclosed; mirroring our publication clock would erode the alpha for everyone.

No. The output is the product. We publish the ideas, the rationale framework, and the realised P&L; we do not publish proprietary thresholds, scoring weights, classifier names, or per-strategy parameters. Any service that does either has nothing worth keeping private — or a parameter set that won't survive being widely known.

The performance page is rolling out alongside public sign-ups. We publish realised P&L on every signal — winners and losers — together with peak-realised, capture efficiency, average hold time, and strategy-level attribution. We do not publish hypothetical backtests or curated highlight reels; only what actually printed.

Every published idea ships with a hard pre-set stop and a multi-tier scaled profit ladder so paper-gains turn into realised P&L. At the operating layer we enforce a daily-loss circuit breaker, portfolio-heat caps, correlation gates, max concurrent positions, and a per-strategy sizing budget. A learning layer vetoes ideas with a high probability-of-loss profile before they ever reach you. Exact stop percentages, ladder breakpoints, and cap thresholds are intentionally not published.

Yes — every signal is tracked. Hiding losers is the single most common pathology in retail trading services and we refuse to do it. The dashboard shows the full trade tape, peak-realised vs final-realised, and a forensic note on every meaningful loss.

Three plans: a free Watcher tier with weekly digests, a Trader tier at $99/mo with the full real-time signal feed and SMS alerts, and a Desk tier at $299/mo with deeper attribution views, custom alert thresholds, and read-only API access. Public sign-ups are opening soon. See the Pricing page for the full feature breakdown.

The Watcher tier is free forever — you receive a weekly digest with the top signal of the week and a rolling performance snapshot. It is the cheapest, lowest-pressure way to evaluate whether the methodology suits how you trade. Upgrade to Trader or Desk any time.

Subscriptions bill monthly in USD via Stripe. You can cancel at any time from your account dashboard; there are no contracts or lock-ins. Refund eligibility is described on the Refunds page.

Yes — cancel any time from the account dashboard. Your access continues until the end of the current billing period. We do not retain payment details after cancellation beyond what is required for tax and compliance.

No. TradeNova publishes research and educational content. Nothing on this site or in any signal we publish is personalised investment advice, a recommendation tailored to your circumstances, or a solicitation to buy or sell any security. Options trading involves substantial risk and is not suitable for every investor. Read the full Disclaimer.

Yes — options can lose 100% of premium and, on certain structures, more than the initial outlay. Our entire methodology is built around acknowledging this: small per-trade allocation, hard pre-set stops, scaled profit-taking, and a daily loss circuit breaker. We will never tell you a trade is 'safe' or guarantee a return. If options are unfamiliar to you, the OCC's Characteristics & Risks of Standardized Options is required reading before you trade.

No. Anyone guaranteeing returns in options is either lying or selling something illegal. Past performance is not indicative of future results, and we publish that statement loudly because we mean it.

TradePilot is our upcoming trade-mirroring product, currently in phased early access. It mirrors the live TradeNova book into a connected brokerage account in seconds — options included, exits included — through OAuth broker connections, a per-account risk governor, and the same limit-ladder fill engine the desk itself trades with.

It is not yet available to the public: the stack is being proven on the desk's own accounts first, and automated execution in customer accounts will launch only where and when the required registrations, authorizations and broker agreements are in place. See the TradePilot page for the full breakdown, or email support to join the early-access list.

TradePilot launches with three connections: Robinhood and Webull through secure OAuth brokerage aggregation, and Alpaca through a direct official API (the lowest-latency path in the stack).

Options-execution support varies by broker and by your account's options approval level, and is verified per broker in sandbox before launch. Where a connection is read-only or equities-only, TradePilot skips the trade rather than substituting something you didn't subscribe to. Additional brokers join only after passing the same verification.

No. Your funds stay at your broker, in your account, in your name. Connections are OAuth-only — you authenticate directly with your broker or through an aggregation partner, and TradePilot holds a revocable token, never your credentials. You can disconnect at any time from either side, and kill switches let you stop mirroring globally, per strategy lane, or per account instantly.

Disclosure-tracking apps mirror public filings — trades that happened two weeks to 45 days earlier — into equities only, with market orders and rebalance-based exits. TradePilot mirrors a live, time-stamped options book with a target of seconds from leader fill to follower order; exits are mirrored as first-class events; orders use a patient limit ladder instead of crossing the spread blind; and a per-account risk governor enforces buying-power checks, options-level gating, pattern-day-trade counting and premium caps. Tracking error versus the leader book is measured and reported per lane rather than hidden.

Public sign-ups are opening soon. The free Watcher tier launches first, followed by Trader and Desk for paid subscribers. Click 'Get started' in the top-right to be added to the launch list — we'll email you the moment registration opens.

We collect the minimum needed to run an account: email, billing details (held by Stripe, not us), and product-usage telemetry. We do not sell, rent, or share user data with third parties for marketing. Full details — including retention windows and your access/erasure rights — are in the Privacy Policy.
