Getting Started with Tradewink: Your First AI Trading Signals

New to Tradewink? Here's how to set up your account, understand your first signals, and start trading smarter with AI-powered trade ideas.

Welcome to Tradewink

Tradewink is an AI-powered trading signal platform that monitors markets, identifies opportunities, and delivers actionable trade ideas with full explanations. Here's how to get started.

Step 1: Create Your Free Account

Sign up at tradewink.com — the free tier includes macro alerts, weekly digests, and market outlook signals. No credit card required.

Step 2: Understand Signal Types

Tradewink generates several types of signals:

  • Momentum Breakout: Stocks breaking above resistance on high volume
  • Mean Reversion: Oversold stocks bouncing off support
  • Options Flow: Unusual institutional options activity
  • Insider Activity: Significant insider buying/selling
  • Macro Alerts: VIX spikes, regime changes, Fear & Greed extremes

Each signal includes: ticker, direction (bullish/bearish), entry zone, stop-loss, target price, risk/reward ratio, confidence score, and a full written analysis.

Step 3: Read the Analysis

Don't just look at the ticker and direction. Read the full analysis. It explains: - WHY the signal was generated - What catalysts are driving the opportunity - Where to enter, where to place your stop, and where to take profit - What could invalidate the trade thesis

Understanding the "why" makes you a better trader over time.

Step 4: Paper Trade First

Before risking real money, use your broker's paper trading mode to execute signals. Track your results over 20-30 trades to build confidence in the system.

Step 5: Manage Your Risk

When you start trading with real money: - Never risk more than 1-2% of your account per trade - Always use the provided stop-loss levels - Don't override the AI's risk/reward — if the R:R is 1.5:1, respect it - Start small and scale up as you gain confidence

Understanding Confidence Scores

Every signal has a confidence score (0-100): - **80+**: AI Conviction — highest confidence, multi-factor alignment - **70-79**: Strong signal — high probability setup - **65-69**: Standard signal — meets all minimum criteria

New users should start by following only 75+ confidence signals until they're comfortable with the system.
