The full detection and research engine runs on every account — pattern recognition, news confluence, on-chain signals, market regime analysis, AI reasoning previews. Free lets you see every signal the system generates and exactly why it would act. Upgrade to put execution on autopilot.
Day-trading is unlocked on Pro+ — with two safety rails.
Accounts under $25k are subject to FINRA's Pattern Day Trader rule. Thesis enforces a stricter 1-equity-entry-per-business-day cap on small accounts on every tier so you stay clear of the line. Pro+ adds the option to unlock full day-trading cadence once your account crosses $25k and you sign the in-app PDT acknowledgment. Plus and Pro accounts always run on small-account rules regardless of equity.
Crypto and cash accounts are not subject to PDT — full cadence on every tier, every account size. Read the PDT detail →
Existing Pro+ subscribers keep their original $149 price; the $199 rate applies to new signups only.

The algorithm, not the API. Thesis is a multi-stage decision engine, not a chatbot wrapper around a trading API. Pattern detection narrows thousands of candles to candidates. Confluence scoring filters by news sentiment, on-chain signals, and market regime — most candidates are eliminated here. Only the strongest setups reach the frontier reasoning model, which evaluates the full picture and returns a go/no-go with a confidence score. Plans differ in how many trades the engine executes per day — not in whether the intelligence runs. The system is thinking on every account. Paid plans let it act.
Annual billing. Pay for 10 months, get 12. Cancel anytime; partial months are not refunded.
Not a broker. Thesis is a software tool. It does not custody assets, offer advice, or make investment recommendations. Alpaca is your broker-dealer.
