Questions, answered straight

No. TapeDash provides educational and informational tools only — trade alerts, setups, flow, and analysis. Nothing we provide is financial, investment, legal, or tax advice, or a recommendation to buy or sell any security. You make your own decisions, and you're responsible for them. See our Disclaimer.

Two ways. First, discipline — our alerts fire only when a setup clears every gate, so you get fewer, higher-conviction signals instead of a firehose. Second, honesty — every alert is graded win or loss automatically, and the record is published. Most groups can't or won't show you that.

Yes, and it's graded automatically against what actually happened — not screenshots, not hand-picked wins. We publish weekly, monthly, and all-time numbers, including the losing months. You can watch it build in the open and judge for yourself. Past performance never guarantees future results, but at least the past is honest.

It helps, but the tools are built to teach as much as signal. The setup scans explain the "why" behind each read, and the AI coach reviews your process to make you sharper over time. That said, options trading carries real risk — you should understand what you're doing and only trade capital you can afford to lose.

Two plans. Investor is $24.99 a month ($249 a year) for investors: Quant Ratings, Smart Money Score, Why It's Moving, 13F, insider and Congress trades, the earnings calendar, macro, portfolio tools, up to 10 price alerts and the Model Portfolio one day delayed. It does not include options flow, trade alerts or the AI Assistant. Pro is $99.99 a month ($999 a year) and adds live options flow, graded trade alerts, Squawk, Pre-News Flow, the AI Assistant, scanners and screeners, earnings history, options positioning and every trading tool. The first 200 people to join the waitlist and confirm by Black Friday (November 27) lock Pro at $69.99 a month on their account, even if they cancel and come back later. The first 100 other members to join during the Black Friday soft launch lock the launch price of $79.99 a month on their account, even if they cancel and come back later. OnlyOptionsTrades members get 25% off the regular price of either plan (verified by connecting your Discord on the Account page; no code needed); it doesn't stack with the Founding or launch price, and you get whichever is lower. Full details are on the pricing page.

The soft launch opens on Black Friday, November 27, 2026, at 9:00 AM ET. It's for the Founding 200 and the first 100 other members to pay at the $79.99 launch price; when the 100 are gone it closes, and memberships open to everyone on January 1, 2027. Until then the way in is the waitlist, and everyone on it hears first.

Yes, any time, with Switch plan on the Pricing page. If you have a Founding or launch price, switching back to Pro monthly brings it back. Upgrades start right away and you pay only the prorated difference; downgrades start right away and the unused part of your plan becomes a credit. There are no contracts.

Yes, from January 1, 2027. Pro at the regular price starts with a 3-day free trial for new members. A card is required; cancel before the trial ends (Account & billing, then Manage billing) and you won't be charged. If you keep it, your card is charged when the trial ends and the plan renews from then on. One trial per member. Trials start January 1, 2027; the Founding 200 and launch prices don't include one.

Cancel any time from Account & billing (Manage billing, then Cancel plan), or email support@tapedash.com. You keep access until the end of the month or year you already paid for, and you are not charged again. Payments are non-refundable, with one exception: if your plan renews and you ask within 48 hours, and you haven't used TapeDash since it renewed, we refund that renewal. Billing mistakes are always fixed. Full details are in the Refund and Cancellation Policy.

We focus on liquid U.S. equities and their options — a curated universe of names with enough volume and options activity to trade cleanly. The setup scans read these across multiple timeframes; the flow scanner surfaces unusual options activity market-wide.

Yes, and we want you to. Every page in the member area has a Feedback box (Something's broken, Confusing, Idea, I like this), and you can also use Contact support or email support@tapedash.com. Bugs get fixed first. Ideas are reviewed, and if one fits and we can build it well, we do: many of the changes made during beta testing started as member suggestions. Every change is listed in What's new in the member area. TapeDash is built with its members, and it will keep growing around the tools you actually use.

No — membership is for individual use. Sharing, reselling, or redistributing access or content isn't permitted. See our Terms of Service for the details.

Join the waitlist from any page on the site. Founding members can join from 9:00 AM ET on Black Friday, along with the first 100 other members to pay at the launch price (see below). Everyone else on the list gets an email to pick a plan on January 1, 2027.

The first 200 people to join the waitlist and confirm their email by 11:59 PM ET on Black Friday, November 27, 2026 lock TapeDash Pro at $69.99 a month (regularly $99.99) on their account, even if they cancel and come back later, plus the limited founding tee. Get 3 friends to join with your invite link and confirm, and your spot is guaranteed even outside the first 200.

From 9:00 AM ET on Black Friday you can join with the same email you used on the waitlist: you pay your first $69.99 and get access right away (no free trial on the Founding price). Your spot is held until you join, and we'll email Founding members a short form for shirt size and shipping. The Founding price is monthly Pro only and doesn't combine with the OOT discount or the launch price. Full details: Founding 200 rules.
