Frequently Asked Questions — NorthStar Trade

Common questions about NorthStar Trade, our AI-powered technical analysis education platform for TSX, US, and cryptocurrency markets.

What is NorthStar Trade?

NorthStar Trade is an AI-powered technical analysis education platform. It scans supported TSX (Canadian), US, and cryptocurrency markets for model-scored setups to review and helps you learn technical analysis. It is not a brokerage or a source of investment advice.

Is NorthStar Trade a brokerage?

No. NorthStar Trade is an educational and analytical tool. We do not execute trades, hold funds, or provide brokerage services.

Does NorthStar Trade provide financial advice?

No. NorthStar Trade is for educational purposes only. The AI-generated analysis, trade setups, and indicators are learning tools — not buy/sell recommendations.

What markets does NorthStar Trade cover?

NorthStar Trade covers TSX Canadian equities, supported US equities, and supported cryptocurrency pairs. Availability can vary with the selected plan and data-provider coverage.

Can I try NorthStar Trade for free?

Yes. The free interactive demo uses illustrative examples, saved scanner snapshots, or synthetic fallbacks. It is not a live market-data feed, and it does not require an account or payment information.

What is AI market scanning?

AI market scanning applies the platform's models and technical-analysis rules to supported instruments. Results are model-scored items for your review, not buy or sell recommendations.

What is backtesting?

Backtesting lets you apply a strategy to historical market data and review simulated metrics. Historical results do not account for every real-world condition and do not predict future performance.

What subscription plans are available?

NorthStar Trade offers monthly Silver ($20), Gold ($50), and Diamond ($100) tiers. The tiers differ in available tools and data access; Diamond includes real-time US and crypto feed access when available. Review the pricing page and checkout for current terms before subscribing.

How often is market data updated?

TSX displays end-of-day or periodic data. US and crypto streaming access depends on the selected plan, provider availability, and applicable market hours. Check the source and observation-time label beside displayed data.

Do I need trading experience to use NorthStar Trade?

Not at all. NorthStar Trade is designed for traders at all levels with a Learn section covering fundamentals like technical analysis, candlestick patterns, indicators, and risk management.
