Warrior Trading Alternative: Scanner + Simulator Without the Course

Warrior Trading bundles a course, a chat room, and a set of tools into one product. If you don't want the course and you don't want the chat room, you're paying for a lot you won't use. Tapeboard is tools-only — the scanner presets, Level 2, time & sales, and paper-trading simulator day traders actually touch — at $39–$79/mo.

• The scanner presets are the same ones a day trader expects — HOD momentum, gap-and-go, unusual volume, top gainers, most active — all streaming, all sortable, all clickable straight into a chart + L2 + time & sales without a second click.
• The simulator is honest. Market orders walk the live Level 2 book. Thin names get partial fills, fat-spread stocks pay slippage, and the performance analytics separate true edge from backtest fantasy.
• News recency indicators on every scanner row. A fire emoji marks tickers with breaking news (<1h) so you don't buy into a pump you haven't seen the press release for.
• Draggable order lines on the chart. TradingView-style — click and drag a limit or stop up or down. The order updates server-side on drop.

• You want to be taught. Warrior's course, chat room, and Ross Cameron's trade-alongs are the product. Tapeboard gives you tools; it will not teach you how to trade.
• You want a community. Day-trading is lonely. Warrior's chat room is a deliberate part of the offering.
• You already use DAS Trader + the Warrior add-ons and the bundle is working. Don't fix what isn't broken.

Does Tapeboard have a gap-and-go scanner?

Yes — it's one of the default presets, along with HOD momentum, unusual volume, pre-market movers, and low-float runners. All real-time, streaming, customizable.

Can I use Tapeboard with DAS Trader for execution?

Yes. Tapeboard is tools + research, not a broker. Run it alongside your DAS (or any other) execution platform. Many users keep Tapeboard as the scanner + research tab and DAS as the order-entry / hotkey tab.

Is there a free trial?

Free tier is always available. Every new account includes a free 7-day Pro trial with no credit card required. Upgrading to a paid Pro or Terminal plan mid-trial carries your remaining trial days through Stripe checkout; after the trial ends, paid plans start immediately.

What about Trade Ideas or Benzinga Pro?

Trade Ideas and Benzinga Pro are focused scanner + news products. Tapeboard overlaps significantly on scanner + news, adds research (filings, fundamentals, FRED) and a paper-trading simulator, and costs less. Try both free tiers side by side.

Does Tapeboard include a trading course?

No. Tapeboard is a tools-only product. If you want a structured course, Warrior Trading bundles one into their offering. Tapeboard's blog covers setups and daily market recaps for free, but there's no paid curriculum.
