Is TradeClever worth it for your research?
It depends on the question you bring. TradeClever is built for screening US stocks with rules you can read, then studying the matches on daily charts. The quickest honest test is to run one real research question in it and check whether the rules, the data dates and the result columns answer it.
| Strengths | Limits |
|---|---|
| Scan rules stay readable and editable: manual filters and CleverScan lead to the same result table. | Data comes from published daily sessions; it is not a real-time trading terminal. |
| Scan as of runs a rule on an earlier session and names the session it used. | Charts show daily candles; there are no drawing tools or intraday bars. |
| Daily charts with SMA, EMA, Bollinger Bands, RSI and MACD. | It does not place orders and is not connected to a brokerage account. |
| Sector Heatmap of the S&P 500, Market Movers, watchlists and alerts on saved scans. | Scans are built from filters, templates and CleverScan rules; it does not write scans from text descriptions. |
Pros and cons depend on the workflow: a technical screener with transparent rules suits a trader who wants to see exactly why a stock matched; someone who needs streaming quotes or broker integration needs a different tool.
Who TradeClever suits: beginners, swing traders and long-term investors
The same workspace serves different horizons; what changes is the rule you write and the columns you read.
- Beginners: start from example scans, templates in the CleverScan Editor’s Scan Library and the step-by-step guides. Every rule is readable, so you can see what each condition does.
- Swing traders: rules on 20 and 50-session moving averages, relative volume, RSI(14) and ATR, daily charts for timing, and alerts on saved scans evaluated on published sessions. See the breakout screen and pullback screens.
- Long-term investors: the 200-session trend, 6 and 12-month performance and the 52-week range for context, watchlists to follow companies, and company research pages that point to the filings behind the fundamentals.
Access, plans and pricing
Stock analysis with charts works without an account. Without one, the stock screener previews the first 50 stocks of its default scan and of the Scan Library presets, and the heatmap shows the 1D market map. Your own scans, more result pages, comparisons, CSV export, other heatmap periods and sector views, and saving scans, watchlists, notes, chart layouts and alerts need a free TradeClever account. Signing up asks for a name, an email address and a password; it does not ask for payment details.
- Without an account you can run example scans, see the S&P 500 ranked by daily change and open the market overview example.
- Any access terms that apply are presented when you create the account; there is no separate trial to start or cancel.
