The code is SAVE15TI. It’s published by Trade Ideas on its own promo page, takes 15% off a new subscription or a Premium upgrade, and was live when we checked in June 2026.
That’s the answer most people came for. But 15% off the first installment is not the biggest lever here. Annual billing saves more, the Test Drive costs $11.11, and two direct-access brokers will cover the subscription entirely if you trade enough size. This page covers every public route, with the math, ranked by how much each one actually saves.
Nothing here is an affiliate code. This site has no paid relationship with Trade Ideas or any broker mentioned; every route below is publicly available and verified against the official source linked next to it.
Every public way to pay less, ranked
| Route | What it saves | Who it fits |
|---|---|---|
| Free Trade Ideas via Cobra Trading or CenterPoint Securities | Up to the full $2,136/yr Premium cost | High-volume traders who clear the brokers’ thresholds |
| Annual billing + SAVE15TI | Premium first year: $1,815.60 vs $3,048 paid monthly | Anyone committing for a year |
| Annual billing alone | $456/yr on Basic, $912/yr on Premium | Anyone committing for a year |
| SAVE15TI on a monthly plan | $19.05 (Basic) or $38.10 (Premium), first month only | Trying the full product month to month |
| Test Drive | Premium access for 10 trading days at $11.11 | Deciding whether to buy at all |
| Free plan | $0; delayed data, browser dashboards only | Kicking the tires, not trading off it |

How the promo code actually works
SAVE15TI applies at checkout on the Trade Ideas pricing page. The official billing policy spells out the mechanics: unless a promotion states otherwise, a discount code reduces the first installment only, the first month on a monthly plan or the first year on an annual plan, and the subscription then renews at the normal advertised rate. That’s straight from the official billing policy.
So the dollar value depends entirely on which installment you discount. Current pricing, verified against trade-ideas.com’s pricing page in June 2026:
| Plan | Regular price | With SAVE15TI (first installment) | You save |
|---|---|---|---|
| Basic monthly | $127/mo | $107.95 first month | $19.05 |
| Premium monthly | $254/mo | $215.90 first month | $38.10 |
| Basic annual | $1,068/yr | $907.80 first year | $160.20 |
| Premium annual | $2,136/yr | $1,815.60 first year | $320.40 |
Put the code on a monthly plan and you’ve saved the price of a lunch. Put it on an annual plan and it’s $160 to $320. Same code, eight to ten times the value, because the installment it discounts is twelve times bigger.
You’ll also find 15% codes on third-party sites all over the search results. Those are partner and affiliate codes, the percentage is the same, and per the billing policy they work the same way: first installment, then full price. There’s no hidden deeper code circulating; when Trade Ideas runs a bigger sale, it publishes it.
Annual billing is the bigger lever
Before any code enters the picture, the annual plans already carry the largest standing discount Trade Ideas offers. Basic drops from $127/month to an effective $89/month ($1,068 billed once, $456 saved per the pricing page). Premium drops from $254/month to an effective $178/month ($2,136 billed once, $912 saved).
Stack SAVE15TI on top and the first-year math gets meaningfully better. Premium: $2,136 minus 15% is $1,815.60, an effective $151.30/month. Against twelve months of monthly billing at $3,048, that’s $1,232.40 less, roughly 40% off the pay-as-you-go path. Basic works out the same way: $907.80 first year against $1,524 paid monthly, $616.20 kept.
The catch: year two renews at the full annual rate, $1,068 or $2,136, charged automatically. Run your decision on the renewal price, not the discounted one. If Premium only makes sense to you at $151/month, it stops making sense in twelve months. The full tier-by-tier breakdown, including what Basic leaves out, lives on our Trade Ideas pricing page.
One more pattern worth knowing: Trade Ideas runs event-tied offers beyond the standing 15%. Its own site has hosted 25%-off pages for webinar attendees, and those expire within days of the event. If you’re not in a hurry, the deeper cuts cluster around its quarterly events and seasonal sales. If you are in a hurry, SAVE15TI is what’s reliably on the table.
The Test Drive: $11.11 for ten trading days
There’s no free trial of the full product; Trade Ideas states it can’t offer one because of exchange requirements around live real-time data. The substitute is the Test Drive, a quarterly event giving 10 full trading days of Premium access for $11.11, per the official signup page and the Test Drive FAQ.
The terms matter. It’s a fixed event: the start and end dates are set, you can’t shift them, and joining late gets you no extension. It ends automatically with no auto-conversion to a paid plan, so there’s nothing to cancel. You get the full Premium feature set with one stated exception, auto-trading through an external brokerage account. And the $11.11 is non-refundable, consistent with the all-sales-final policy.
As a discount route it’s small money. As a decision tool it’s the cheapest honest look at Holly and the backtesting before you commit four figures. Dates, the free delayed-data plan, and everything else trial-related are covered on our Trade Ideas free trial page.
Free Trade Ideas through your broker
The biggest discount is 100%, and it comes from brokers, not codes. Two direct-access brokers we cover run software programs that include Trade Ideas, both verified on their official program pages in June 2026.
Cobra Trading’s Cobra PRIME lists Trade Ideas Standard at 17 points and Trade Ideas Premium at 29 points in its benefits menu, per the Cobra PRIME page. Qualifying takes a $25,000 minimum account balance and 200,000 equity shares traded per month, maintained as an average; trade more and your point allowance grows. Cobra covers the cost while you qualify. Fall below the volume bar and the subscriptions get canceled, though Cobra states it can keep your access alive at a discounted rate. New clients become eligible after two months of trading. How many points your volume earns determines whether Premium is in reach, so confirm your credit count with Cobra before planning around it.
CenterPoint Securities’ Edge program includes free Trade Ideas access on its Active tier ($100,000+ account equity or 100,000+ shares per month) and Pro tier ($250,000+ equity or 250,000+ shares per month), per the CenterPoint Edge page. Base-tier clients ($30,000+) get three free months, and new clients start on the Active tier or higher for their first three months regardless. CenterPoint’s page doesn’t specify which Trade Ideas plan the benefit carries, so ask before you count on Premium. Eligibility runs on a three-month trailing average.
Be honest with yourself about the thresholds. 200,000 shares a month is real volume; a trader doing 500 shares a clip needs 400 round trips a month to get there. These programs reward traders who were already going to generate that activity. Opening a $25k+ direct-access account purely to dodge a $2,136 software bill is the tail wagging the dog, and commissions plus locate costs at that volume will dwarf the subscription anyway. If you already trade that size, though, paying retail for Trade Ideas is leaving money on the table.
The fine print that costs people money
Three lines from the official billing policy decide whether your discount stays a discount.
All sales are final. Trade Ideas does not issue refunds; it allows store credit or exchanges. That applies to the Test Drive’s $11.11 and to a $2,136 annual charge equally.
Subscriptions auto-renew at full price. The policy states Trade Ideas is not responsible if a client forgets to cancel, and that confirming the cancellation is the customer’s responsibility.
So the protection play is simple. Put a calendar reminder two weeks before your renewal date the day you subscribe. If you cancel, do it through Account Management, and keep the confirmation. On an annual Premium plan, a forgotten renewal is a $2,136 mistake with no refund path, which is a worse outcome than never finding a promo code at all.
When no discount is the right answer
A 15% code doesn’t change who this software is for. Even discounted, Premium’s first year runs $1,815.60 and renews at $2,136. If you trade the open most mornings and the scanner feeds your actual setups, that math can work. If you check the market a couple of times a week, it almost certainly doesn’t, and the discount is just a smaller version of the wrong purchase. Most day traders lose money before software costs enter the equation; the statistics are worth a sober read before any four-figure subscription.
Cheaper scanners and screeners exist, and some readers should choose one. We rank them honestly in our Trade Ideas alternatives comparison, and the wider field is covered across our trading software rankings.
What to do next
If you’ve decided to buy: pick your tier with the pricing breakdown, choose annual billing, enter SAVE15TI at checkout, and set the renewal reminder before you close the tab. If you’re still deciding: the Test Drive and free-plan details are the low-cost way to find out, and the full review tells you who should skip the product entirely.

FAQ
Is there a Trade Ideas promo code that always works?
SAVE15TI is the standing code, published on an official Trade Ideas promo page and live as of June 2026. It takes 15% off a new subscription or a Premium upgrade. Third-party partner codes circulate too, but they’re also 15% and follow the same rules.
Do promo codes apply to renewals?
No. Per the official billing policy, a code reduces the first installment only, the first month or the first year, and the subscription then renews at the normal rate. Plan around the full renewal price.
Can I use a code on the annual plan?
Yes, and that’s where it’s worth the most. On Premium annual, SAVE15TI cuts $2,136 to $1,815.60 for the first year, a $320.40 saving versus $38.10 on the first monthly payment.
Is there ever a discount bigger than 15%?
Trade Ideas has published deeper event-tied offers on its own site, including 25% off for webinar attendees, and those expire within days. Bigger cuts cluster around its quarterly events and seasonal sales rather than sitting available year-round.
Can I get Trade Ideas for free?
Two routes. The free plan offers 15-minute delayed data on browser-based dashboards, fine for exploring, not for trading. Full free access comes through broker programs: Cobra PRIME (a $25,000 minimum balance and 200,000 shares/month) and CenterPoint Edge (Active tier at $100,000+ equity or 100,000+ shares/month), both verified June 2026.
Does Trade Ideas offer refunds if I change my mind?
No. All sales are final; store credit or exchanges are the stated remedy. Subscriptions also auto-renew, and confirming a cancellation is the customer’s responsibility, so set a reminder ahead of your renewal date.
