Sam Trading Intelligence is in public alpha. Everything below is the honest current state of the product — including the parts that aren’t finished yet.
An intelligence desk for traders: it watches live markets around the clock, scores hundreds of strategies on real, timestamped outcomes (wins and losses), and teaches you with Sam Sensei while you practise in a paper (simulated) account. It is research and education software.
No. The alpha is paper trading only. Trades are simulated at live market prices. We never take deposits, never custody funds, and never place live trades. Nothing here is financial, investment, or tax advice.
Your account works. During the alpha, confirmation-email delivery is not switched on yet, so the “confirm your email” message cannot arrive and your account will show as unverified. Nothing in the alpha is blocked by that badge. When email delivery is switched on, you’ll be able to confirm from your account page with one tap.
Honest answer: self-serve password reset by email is not live yet in the alpha, because email delivery isn’t switched on (see above). If you’re locked out, contact us at the email address published in our Terms of Service and we’ll help you regain access. Tip until then: stay signed in on your device, and keep your password in a password manager.
Every screen labels its data honestly: live (under 5 minutes old), delayed (under an hour), or stale. If a feed pauses, we show the label rather than pretend the number is fresh. Prices in the paper book also show their source and age on every fill.
A strategy earns a verdict only after at least 30 scored trades, measured net of estimated costs. Below that, it is labelled “collecting data” — we would rather show you uncertainty than a confident guess. Strategies that prove out negatively are killed in public view, not quietly deleted.
No paid plan is on sale during the alpha. Billing runs in test mode with placeholder pricing; no card is charged. If that ever changes, it will be announced in the Terms before any charge.
In the app: Account → Delete account, then type DELETE to confirm. That permanently removes your account, paper ledger, watchlist, and onboarding progress. A pseudonymised record of the legal terms you accepted is kept, as described in the Privacy Policy.
Adults (18+) who are US residents, per the attestation at signup. The service is provided under the Terms of Service and Risk Waiver.
Email us at the contact address published in the Terms of Service / Privacy Policy. During the alpha we read everything; replies may take a couple of days. New to the app? Start with the guided welcome.

Connect with Sam on LinkedInSam Trading Intelligence is a solo, pre-revenue build that runs paper/shadow only. If the scoreboard helps you, a tip helps keep it running. A donation is a gift, not a purchase: it buys nothing - no equity, no returns, no advice - and it is not tax-deductible. This is not a charity.
Alpha software. Paper (simulated) trading only. Not financial, investment, or tax advice. Trading involves risk of loss. Data may be delayed or interrupted; labels on each screen say how fresh it is.
