A plan for every trade, before you take it.

Each part is marked with the first plan that includes it: Free, Tools or Pro. Each paid plan includes everything in the plans before it.

A trading day with Clear Tape

  1. Before the open

    Read the market

    Today sums up fear & greed, the indices, yields and the VIX, with the news and the day’s calendar. On Pro, Clear Tape’s pre-market analysis with key levels comes first.

  2. During the session

    Find stocks worth a look

    Clear Cut cards, the daily Discover lists and Filters narrow the market to a short list; your watchlist keeps the stocks you follow.

  3. Before the entry

    Plan the trade

    Plan trade records the entry, stop and target, with the risk in dollars, as a share of your account and as reward-to-risk, before you place the order.

  4. After the close

    Signals and review

    Your trading systems scan your watchlist and you log the day’s fills. The journal measures each closed trade in R, and the AI score grades how closely you followed your rules.

Research tools

Market data, news and stock discovery in one dashboard. Much of it is free; Tools opens every tool with its full data.

  • Markets Free

    Fear & greed, the indices, yields and the VIX, a sector heatmap, crypto prices and the SPY, QQQ and IWM options cards. Tools adds market breadth and the fear & greed components; options analysis for any stock is Pro.

  • News and calendar Free

    Releases from official sources, SEC filings for the stocks you follow, and the earnings and economic calendar in your time zone. Tools adds the X monitor and Reddit heat.

  • Discover and Clear Cut Free

    Clear Cut shows one stock card at a time: left to pass, right to add it to your watchlist, up to follow it closely. Three lists are screened every trading day: Unusual volume, Profit turnarounds, and Improving & undervalued. Free: 10 cards and 3 picks per list a day; Tools and Pro: no card limit and 15 picks per list.

  • Unusual volume, with a measured record Free

    Ordered by activity rank, a measure of how unusual the day’s trading was, not a buy rating. Every live pick is measured against SPY over the next 1, 5 and 20 trading days, after costs, and the record is published with the list.

  • Filters Tools

    Hundreds of liquid US stocks screened after every close against a published set of rules, with every rule spelled out.

  • Trading systems Free

    Eleven preset systems, each with its entry, stop, target and parameters spelled out, and a builder for your own rules. Tools and Pro add signals on your watchlist after every close, drawn on the price chart.

  • Backtests Tools

    Replay a system on daily prices with your own fills, risk and costs: Tools 20 a day, Pro 50. The holdout test judges the rules on 2000–2014, then runs them unchanged from 2015 to now against holding the same stocks, with costs and survivorship bias disclosed; parameter sweeps are judged on the training period only. Saved studies are re-checked every month: Tools 3 sweeps a day and 10 saved studies, Pro 10 and 50, with a notification when a verdict changes.

Trade journal Free

Keep every trade next to its plan. Clear Tape never connects to your brokerage account: you enter trades by hand or import your broker’s CSV export.

  1. Plan. Press Plan trade on a stock’s chart, a Clear Cut card, a list or a system signal: entry, stop and target, with the risk in dollars, as a share of your account and as reward-to-risk.
  2. Log. Enter the fill when you take the trade, or import your broker’s CSV.
  3. Review. Statistics in R: win rate, expectancy, profit factor and drawdown, an equity curve, and your own weekly review.
  4. AI score. Claude grades each closed trade’s plan, setup, entry, risk, management and discipline against your own rules, never the P&L: free 1 a day, Tools 10, Pro 30. AI period reviews: Tools 2 a week, Pro 7.

Trading Academy Free

Six structured courses, free on every plan: price action and Wyckoff, trend following and breakouts, swing trading, growth stocks and relative strength, options income, and the new Quantitative trading course on testable rules, honest backtests and holdout periods. Every lesson is open to read; with a free account you also study real chart examples, practise with each course’s question bank and keep a wrong-answer book.

AI tools

The AI explains the data in front of you. It doesn’t trade for you, tell you what to buy or sell, or predict returns, and it can be wrong. Each tool has its own allowance; a request that fails isn’t counted.

  • System check Free

    Runs one stock through one of your trading systems and explains the result in plain language. Free 1 a day, Tools 10, Pro 30.

  • Q&A Tools

    Answers questions from the dashboard’s data, and on Pro from Clear Tape’s analysis and key levels too. Tools 10 questions a month, Pro 20.

  • Stock read Tools

    Jev, a decision model by TypeSafe, returns probabilities for direction, setup quality and risk on any stock. Tools 5 a day, Pro 20; still in trial.

  • System coach Pro

    Turns how you trade into rules you can check and backtest, and talks a saved backtest study through with you. Pro: 5 conversations a month.

  • Options AI read Pro

    One summary of a stock’s options page: where the stock sits, the levels that matter, an up and a down scenario, and the risks. Pro: 5 a day.

Clear Tape’s analysis and trade alerts Pro

Pro shares how Clear Tape trades, as it happens: where the market is strong, what is bought, where the trade would be wrong and where profits are taken. Every alert carries its exit plan: the stop and the target are set before the entry, not after.

  • Before the open: the pre-market analysis with key levels, the sector map and the names on watch in each group
  • During the session: open, add, trim and close alerts, each with the price, position size, stop and target
  • While a position is open: its P&L and its distance to the stop and the target, with an alert when the stop moves

Sample alert, for illustration only.

An append-only track record

Every alert is logged the moment it’s posted. Posts are only ever added: a correction is a new post, never an edit. The track record is calculated from that log: win rate, average return and R multiples, losses included.

Alerts reach you where you are

Turn on notifications in Settings, on each phone or computer you use, and trade alerts and the published analysis reach you even when Clear Tape is closed. Telegram and email alerts are planned.

Free calculators, templates and MCP server Free

Open to everyone, without an account.

  • : position size, risk/reward and R multiple, expectancy, ATR stop, drawdown recovery, the Kelly criterion, trading costs and losing streaks, run in your browser.
  • and : spreadsheets for Excel, Google Sheets and LibreOffice, to download without signing up.

What Clear Tape isn’t

It isn’t personal financial advice, and we aren’t a licensed investment adviser. The tools, courses and AI are for research and education, and Pro shares Clear Tape’s own trades and their risk for the same purpose. Size every position for your own account and your own tolerance for risk. .
