Pricing and trial
How much does CoTrader cost?+
$30/month for Solo, after a 7-day free trial. Mentorship is a separate add-on on top of Solo, at $500 or $1,000/month depending on cadence.
Is there a free trial?+
Yes — 7 days free on Solo. Your card isn't charged until the trial ends.
Can I cancel anytime?+
Yes, cancel anytime from your billing portal. Canceling stops future charges, but we don't offer refunds for the current billing period.
Getting started
Do I need Interactive Brokers?+
Yes — right now CoTrader only supports Interactive Brokers (IBKR). Other brokers aren't supported yet.
How long does setup take?+
A few minutes. Connect your IBKR account and you're live — fills start syncing automatically.
Is my trading data safe?+
CoTrader can't execute trades on your behalf. It only reads your account activity through IBKR — it can never place, modify, or cancel an order.
The product
What exactly does CoTrader track?+
Your trades sync automatically from IBKR — entries, exits, size, timing. Plan trades when you want to, journal your reasoning, and review your week.
What are Callouts?+
Twelve deterministic rules that scan your trade history for real patterns — a standout symbol, a weak day of the week, revenge trading, and more. They only fire when your own data shows something real, not generic advice.
Does it work on mobile?+
Yes — CoTrader is a responsive web app, so it works in your mobile browser. There's no separate native app right now.
Mentorship
What's the difference between Solo and Mentorship?+
Solo ($30/month) is the core app — plan, sync, journal, review. Mentorship ($500 or $1,000/month) is 1:1 coaching layered on top of Solo, not a replacement for it.
If I cancel Mentorship, do I lose Solo too?+
No. They're separate subscriptions — canceling Mentorship only cancels Mentorship. Your Solo access keeps running.
Is mentorship investment advice?+
No. Mentorship is educational — coaching on process, discipline, and risk management. It's not investment advice.
