Frequently Asked Questions

What is TradeAI News?

TradeAI News is an all-in-one market intelligence platform for traders: gamma exposure, insider activity, unusual volume, short interest, analyst ratings and a trade journal that knows the market conditions behind every trade. Market events from 11 named news and regulatory feeds sit next to that structure. Coverage is US-listed equities. We measure significance and magnitude, never direction.

How are market events detected?

TradeAI News reads 11 named news and regulatory feeds — every one is listed on the features page — and uses keyword and phrase rules to detect events about US-listed companies. Detected events appear in the market events feed of the dashboard, and through the REST API on the Elite plan. An internal routing value orders them; it is not shown to users and has not been validated as a predictor of price moves.

Is TradeAI News financial advice?

No. TradeAI News is an informational platform that provides market intelligence. Nothing on the platform — market events, gamma exposure, the trackers, journal analytics or commentary — is financial advice, investment advice, or a recommendation about any security. All trading decisions are yours alone. Trading involves significant risk, including the possible loss of your entire investment. Past data does not guarantee future results. We recommend consulting a licensed financial advisor before making investment decisions.

What markets does TradeAI News cover?

TradeAI News covers US-listed equities, in premarket, regular and aftermarket sessions: 558 distinct tickers had at least one detected event in the 30 days to Oct 2, 2026 (1,412 events, about 2 per hour on average). Gamma exposure is built from the options chain for the tickers in our gamma universe, unusual volume from public market data, and market events from 11 named feeds — every one listed on the features page, with the date we last measured it. Crypto, forex, futures and international equities are not covered.

Can I cancel anytime?

Yes. Cancel at any time from your account settings, or by contacting support. You keep access until the end of the period you already paid for, and then the account moves to the Free plan. Cancelling part-way through a period does not refund that period, except in the cases set out in section 7 of the Terms: billing errors and, for consumers in the EU and the UK, the 14-day right of withdrawal. No cancellation fees and no lock-in.

Do you offer a free trial?

Yes. When you sign up without choosing a paid plan, your account starts with a 21-day Pro trial. No credit card is required, and when the trial ends your account moves to the Free plan unless you subscribe. When you choose a paid plan: first month free. You add a card at checkout and the first charge is 30 days later ($29/month for Basic, $59/month for Pro and $99/month for Elite). Cancel from your dashboard before then and you will not be charged. One free trial per person.

What options data does TradeAI News use?

TradeAI News does not ingest OPRA transaction data, so trade-level options flow — sweeps and blocks, which are only visible on the reported trade tape — is outside what it sees. What it computes instead is relative volume on the underlying — how far a ticker's traded volume sits above its own recent baseline — together with Estimated Gamma Exposure built from the options chain, which is shown on its own charts.

Does TradeAI News show off-exchange trading data?

No. TradeAI News does not ingest off-exchange trading data (dark-pool, ATS). What it measures instead is unusual volume: how total traded volume in a ticker compares to its own baseline (RVOL), from public market data — shown in the Unusual Volume view and used as one input to the internal ordering of detected events. For context on the term itself: off-exchange venues are private trading venues where large orders are executed away from public exchanges, and those trades are reported after execution rather than appearing in public order books. That venue-level data is sold by dedicated providers, and we are not one of them. The term is explained at tradeainews.com/learn/off-exchange-trading.

What is the REST API and who is it for?

The TradeAI News REST API gives Elite subscribers programmatic access to the market-events feed, the largest movers and the volume ratio at detection, for their own tools, spreadsheets or dashboards. It is authenticated with API keys (X-API-Key header) and limited to 60 requests per minute per key. Full documentation at tradeainews.com/api-reference.

How do I get API access?

API access requires the Elite plan ($99/month). Once subscribed, go to My Account → API Keys in the dashboard to create keys: up to 3, each with a name, and you can revoke any of them at any time. Each key is shown only once, when it is created, so copy it then. Send it in the X-API-Key header of each request. Base URL: https://api.tradeainews.com.

What is a market event?

A market event is news that can change how the market values a stock: earnings results, FDA decisions, SEC filings, analyst rating changes or merger announcements, for example. TradeAI News shows the event next to the structure around the ticker; it does not predict how far, or in which direction, the price will move.

Does TradeAI News cover premarket trading?

Yes. Event detection runs around the clock, so events published before 9:30am or after 4:00pm ET are picked up as well and appear in the market events feed with their time. The financial calendar lists scheduled macro releases.

How is TradeAI News different from Benzinga Pro?

Benzinga Pro is primarily a news terminal. TradeAI News is an all-in-one market intelligence platform: gamma exposure, insider activity, unusual volume, short interest, analyst ratings and a context journal, with market events next to that structure. REST API access is on the Elite plan. The full comparison is at tradeainews.com/tradeai-news-vs-benzinga-pro.
