Before you subscribe

The practical billing terms are summarized here so you can review them before checkout.

Recurring monthly billing

Your selected plan renews monthly until canceled. Applicable taxes may be calculated and collected during checkout where required.

Cancellation and access

Manage or cancel through the account billing portal. Unless the portal states otherwise, cancellation stops the next renewal and paid access continues through the end of the current paid period.

Refunds

Refunds are not promised except where required by law or stated for a specific transaction. Review the full Terms before purchase.

EDGE credits

Unused credits do not roll over, have no cash value, and reset or expire with the applicable subscription billing period.

Paid features end when the account no longer has an eligible subscription status. See the Terms of Service and Privacy Policy for the complete terms.

No tokens to decode

EDGE credits, in plain English

EDGE credits count successful assistant requests. Different phases use different amounts because code generation requires more processing than analysis or conversation.

1

One successful Evaluate assistant request

Design

3

One successful Design assistant request

Generate

15

One successful NinjaScript or supported Pine Script generation request, including deterministic validation and bounded repair

Evolve

1 Evaluate + 1 Design request.

Full initial EDGE pass: 24 credits

1 Evaluate + 1 Design + 1 Generate + 1 Evolve request.

What the monthly allowances mean

Pro

Up to 41 minimal four-phase passes

20 examples using two requests in each phase

These are transparent request-count examples, not promises of finished or profitable strategies. Additional questions, revisions, and generations use additional credits.

You pay only for successful assistant requests

If a request cannot be completed or safely saved, its reserved credits are refunded automatically. Generate’s 15-credit cost includes the platform’s automated static-check repair pass; it is not native compilation, execution, or backtesting.

Everything included in Pro

One subscription covers the complete four-phase EDGE workflow.

Where backtesting happens

The workflow stays connected, but testing remains independent

Generate returns NinjaTrader 8 NinjaScript after automated checks for known source and platform issues; TradingView Pine Script remains available as a secondary output. Those checks are not native compilation, execution, or backtesting. You independently compile and validate the NinjaScript in NinjaTrader 8 using your own market data, trading-hours template, commissions, slippage, and settings. Then upload one or multiple CSV, XLSX, PNG, JPG/JPEG, or WEBP backtest files to the same Strategy Project so Evolve can analyze the evidence and propose the next controlled test.

Pricing and usage FAQ

The questions you should not have to leave this page to answer.

What exactly counts as an EDGE credit request?+

Credits are charged per successful request sent to an EDGE assistant. Follow-up questions, revisions, and additional generations are new requests charged at that phase’s published rate. You never need to understand or purchase AI model tokens.

How many credits does one full EDGE pass use?+

One successful request in each phase uses 24 credits: Evaluate 1 + Design 3 + Generate 15 + Evolve 5. A more iterative example with two successful requests in every phase uses 48 credits. Your actual usage depends on how many follow-ups and revisions you choose.

What happens if a request fails?+

The platform reserves the phase cost when a request begins. If the assistant cannot complete the request or safely save the response, those reserved EDGE credits are automatically refunded. Generate’s automated static-check repair pass is included in its 15-credit request cost. These checks are not native compilation, execution, or backtesting.

Does The Strategic Edge AI run the backtest for me?+

No. The primary workflow generates NinjaTrader 8 NinjaScript for you to compile and backtest independently in NinjaTrader with your own data, session template, commissions, slippage, and settings. TradingView Pine Script remains available as a secondary workflow. You can then upload supported CSV, XLSX, PNG, JPG/JPEG, or WEBP evidence for Evolve to analyze.

What happens when I run out of credits?+

New paid EDGE assistant requests are blocked until your next subscription billing-period reset. Your existing Strategy Projects and saved work remain available. You can review your plan through the account billing experience.

Do unused credits roll over?+

No. EDGE credits reset with each subscription billing period, do not roll over, and have no cash value.

What is included in the $99 plan?+

Pro includes Evaluate, Design, Generate, and Evolve, 1,000 EDGE credits per billing month, persistent Strategy Projects, and Beginner + Intermediate Mastery. Basic and Elite are no longer offered to new subscribers. Existing subscriptions retain their current billing and entitlements unless the subscriber chooses a change.

Is there a free trial?+

There is no free trial currently configured. Before subscribing, you can watch the 4:54 NQ NinjaTrader workflow, inspect the NinjaTrader evidence packet, and read the public NinjaTrader backtesting guide. The BTC/Pine case study remains available as secondary-platform evidence.

Pro is a $99 USD monthly subscription for educational strategy-development tools. Existing monthly subscriptions keep their agreed billing and entitlements. Cancel future renewal through Manage Billing; access continues through the paid period. The Strategic Edge AI does not provide live trading signals, investment recommendations, brokerage execution, or guarantees of performance.

Risk Disclosure: Futures and forex trading contains substantial risk and is not for every investor. An investor could potentially lose all or more than the initial investment. Risk capital is money that can be lost without jeopardizing ones’ financial security or lifestyle. Only risk capital should be used for trading and only those with sufficient risk capital should consider trading. Past performance is not necessarily indicative of future results.

Hypothetical Performance Disclosure:

Hypothetical performance results have many inherent limitations, some of which are described below. No representation is being made that any account will or is likely to achieve profits or losses similar to those shown; in fact, there are frequently sharp differences between hypothetical performance results and the actual results subsequently achieved by any particular trading program. One of the limitations of hypothetical performance results is that they are generally prepared with the benefit of hindsight. In addition, hypothetical trading does not involve financial risk, and no hypothetical trading record can completely account for the impact of financial risk of actual trading. for example, the ability to withstand losses or to adhere to a particular trading program in spite of trading losses are material points which can also adversely affect actual trading results. There are numerous other factors related to the markets in general or to the implementation of any specific trading program which cannot be fully accounted for in the preparation of hypothetical performance results and all which can adversely affect trading results.
