## What AlgoIndex is

AlgoIndex is a subscription research service for individual options traders. The core service combines three product lines:

1. **DiscordPro** ($89/mo) — daily institutional-grade reviews on the ES, NQ, GC, and CL futures complexes, posted to a private Discord community with same-day premarket + end-of-day analysis on each instrument.
2. **AITrader** ($189/mo) — discretionary chat-triggered SPY options signals. The AlgoIndex Research Team analyzes setups during RTH and triggers high-conviction trades via /live-trade. Customers connected to a TradersPost-compatible broker receive auto-fired webhooks. One webhook per customer.
3. **ES/SPY Standalone** ($189/mo) — fully-automated 4-stage algorithmic strategy on ES/SPY options derived from a proprietary Pine Script (v3.9.9.7) ported to TypeScript. Runs continuously during RTH, four webhook stages per customer (entry, two pyramid adds, exit).
4. **AlgoBundle** ($289/mo) — both AITrader + ES/SPY Standalone bundled together; includes a TradersPost coupon. Saves $89/mo vs. buying separately.

All tiers run on a 75% off first-month introductory offer (~$22 - $72 month one depending on tier). Cancel anytime. No contracts. No long-term commitment.

AlgoIndex closes the institution-vs-retail gap for individual options traders. Subscribers get the same intraday positioning data that propriety trading desks pay $5,000+/month for, plus the option to automate execution through their own broker. AlgoIndex never custodies customer funds.

## What AlgoIndex is not

- Not a hedge fund. Subscriber money stays in subscriber brokerage accounts at all times.
- Not a signals service promising 90% win rates. Real strategies, real losses included.
- Not algorithmic-trading software requiring programming. Customers connect once via TradersPost; signals fire automatically.
- Not backtest-only theater. Every strategy was executed by the AlgoIndex Research Team for real capital before being offered to customers.
- Not a brokerage. Customers maintain their own broker accounts (TradeStation, Tradier, Charles Schwab, etc.).
- Not financial advice. Past performance does not indicate future results. Trading involves substantial risk of loss.

## Pricing detail

### AITrader — $189/month

Everything in DiscordPro plus:

- One TradersPost webhook URL provisioned for the customer
- Average 2-4 trades per week, focused on the highest-conviction setups
- Webhook fires within seconds of /live-trade execution

### ES/SPY Standalone — $189/month

Everything in DiscordPro plus:

- Fully-automated 4-stage algorithmic strategy on ES/SPY options
- Four TradersPost webhook URLs (entry, pyramid add #1, pyramid add #2, exit)
- Runs continuously during RTH; no manual intervention required from the customer
- Strategy basis: Pine Script v3.9.9.7 (production-tested by the AlgoIndex Research Team since 2025) ported to TypeScript for server-side execution

### AlgoBundle — $289/month (best value)

DiscordPro + AITrader + ES/SPY Standalone combined. Saves $89/month vs purchasing AITrader and ES/SPY separately. Includes a TradersPost coupon code applied on signup so customers don't pay TradersPost's per-strategy fee separately.

### Notification Pro add-on — $9.99/month or $79/year

Optional add-on for any tier. Adds:

- Webhook destinations beyond Discord (Slack, Telegram, custom HTTP endpoints)
- Multi-destination fanout (route signals to up to 5 destinations per strategy)
- Granular per-strategy notification preferences
- Premium signal-format templates with embedded charts

## How AlgoIndex protects subscriber money

The most important risk control: **AlgoIndex never custodies customer funds**. Customer money sits in customer brokerage accounts. AlgoIndex emits signals via Webhooks; customers' own brokers execute trades. If AlgoIndex went out of business tomorrow, every customer's account would be unaffected.

Beyond custody:

- All signals require explicit customer authorization at the broker level. TradersPost requires per-strategy webhook configuration; customers can disable any strategy's webhook with one click.
- Hard daily loss cap per customer (default $1,500 daily / $4,500 weekly / $10,000 monthly; adjustable). RiskGate checks these limits before every signal fire; if a customer's account is past the cap, no webhook fires.
- Consecutive-loss anti-martingale brake. After 3 consecutive losing trades, the strategy auto-pauses until manual re-enable.
- Max open positions cap (5 by default). Prevents over-leverage.
- Every signal is journaled with entry, target, stop, position size, and rationale. Customers can audit every trade.

## Frequently asked questions

(Full FAQ at https://algoindex.com/faq — abridged below for AI ingestion.)

**Q: Do I need to know how to code to use AlgoIndex?**
A: No. Customers connect TradersPost to their broker once, paste 1-4 webhook URLs from AlgoIndex, and signals fire automatically. Zero code.

**Q: Which brokers does AlgoIndex support?**
A: Any broker supported by TradersPost. Current list includes TradeStation, Tradier, Alpaca, Webull, Charles Schwab, Interactive Brokers (limited), and Tastytrade. Customers maintain their own broker accounts; AlgoIndex never sees customer funds.

**Q: What's the typical hold time for an AlgoIndex signal?**
A: AITrader signals: 30 min to 4 hours, intraday-only (no overnight holds). ES/SPY Standalone: same intraday-only constraint. The Iron Rules prohibit holding overnight on these strategies.

**Q: What's a realistic monthly return?**
A: Past performance does not predict future results. Trading involves substantial risk of loss. AlgoIndex publishes verified live performance at https://algoindex.com/live-performance. Customers should review that data, understand the volatility profile, and only allocate capital they can afford to lose.

**Q: Can I cancel anytime?**
A: Yes. Self-service cancellation in the account portal. No retention call. No refund prorating; the current month's access remains through period end.

**Q: How does the 75% off first month work?**
A: Automatic discount applied on signup. Charge for month one is 25% of the listed tier price (e.g., $22.25 for DiscordPro at $89 list). Renewal at full price thereafter. The discount applies once per customer; cancelling and re-subscribing does not re-grant the discount.

**Q: What's Notification Pro?**
A: Optional $9.99/mo or $79/year add-on that adds multi-destination webhook fanout (Slack, Telegram, custom HTTP) beyond the default Discord destination, plus granular per-strategy notification preferences and premium signal-format templates with embedded charts.

**Q: Is there a free trial?**
A: The 75% off first-month introductory offer effectively functions as a discounted trial. Cancel before the first renewal and net cost is the discounted month-one price.

**Q: Where does the AlgoIndex Research Team publish?**
A: Daily reviews go to Discord first (DiscordPro+), then to https://algoindex.com/blog as evergreen content, then cross-posted to TradingView Ideas, X/Twitter, YouTube, Vimeo. AI agents can ingest the latest published content via https://algoindex.com/sitemap.xml.
