Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know before getting started.
What markets does NordTraders cover?
We scan 267+ liquid Nordic stocks across Stockholm (OMX), Copenhagen (CSE), Oslo (OSE), and Helsinki (HEX) exchanges.
Does NordTraders execute trades for me?
No. NordTraders is advisory only. It generates trade ideas with exact entry, stop loss, and target prices. You execute trades through your own broker.
How does the 14 day free trial work?
You get full access to all features for 14 days without entering a credit card. After the trial, you can subscribe for 149 DKK/mo or your account will downgrade.
What trading strategies are used?
Our engine combines four legendary trading philosophies: Ed Seykota (trend following), Nicolas Darvas (box breakout), Richard Wyckoff (accumulation/distribution), and Jesse Livermore (pivot points).
What is the difference between Scan watchlist, ProPicks, and the morning run?
Scan watchlist is the strictest: it only scans your watchlist with every master gate enabled and saves ideas to your inbox — it does not trade. ProPicks runs a strategy on the pre-scored universe and may save an idea after a live recheck, or skip if math fails. The morning run (06:00 UTC weekdays, ~07:00 CET) generates scheduled ideas for opted-in users with fresh prices from the engine. ARM Evaluate for execution is separate: it applies ARM risk rules and may open a trade. The homepage ticker is illustrative only; it is not your scan output.
Does NordTraders generate short ideas?
Yes. In strict mode, the engine goes short when the market condition is trending_down. Darvas breakout rules apply to longs only. Ranging markets (normal) are skipped. A quiet week may show mostly longs because filters are strict, not because shorts are disabled.
What if I get zero ideas during my trial?
That is often normal. NordTraders rejects most symbols every day. An empty Ideas tab usually means nothing passed risk, structure, or philosophy gates today, not that the product failed. Morning scan runs on weekdays when daily morning is on in Settings. Read the guide
Should I cancel if week one of my trial had almost no ideas?
Not necessarily. Many subscribers almost cancel on day five, then stay after they paper trade the first Full Report and read how the filter is supposed to behave. See our quiet week case study for an anonymized trial story. Read the case study
Can I use the API for my own applications?
Yes. After signing up, go to Account → API Keys to generate a key. Pass it in the X-API-Key header.
Is my data safe?
We use industry-standard security practices: HTTP-only cookies, bcrypt password hashing, and Stripe for secure payment processing. We never store your broker credentials.
How do I cancel my subscription?
Go to Account → Manage Billing to cancel anytime through the Stripe customer portal.
Who built NordTraders?
NordTraders is built by a solo developer focused on rule-based, non-discretionary trading for the Nordic markets.
