Trading journal, AI coaching and market analysis in one place. TIC brings a trading journal, AI coaching, paper trading, market research and a trader community into one workspace. Plan your next decision, record what happened and learn from your own trading history across forex, gold, indices and crypto. JOURNAL YOUR TRADES. UNDERSTAND YOUR HABITS. Keep trades, notes, tags and chart screenshots together. Organise your setups with Playbooks, explore journal analytics and use AI Trade Review to examine patterns in your recorded trades. Export supported journal data to CSV and build a record you can learn from. AI ADVISOR AND WEEKLY COACHING Ask the AI Advisor about a chart, market context or trading discipline. With Elite, Chart Vision helps examine chart screenshots, while Weekly Coach reviews your recorded activity and follows up on your previous focus. Coaching requires sufficient trading history. AI can make mistakes; check its output before acting. CONNECT YOUR ACCOUNTS View supported MT4/MT5 account balances, equity, positions and history with Elite. Automatic imports help bring closed trades into your journal. Supported Binance, Bybit and IBKR connections are available across plans. Connections are read-only; TIC does not place broker orders. Import coverage and availability vary by provider. PRACTISE AND REPLAY Use paper trading and a virtual portfolio to practise without placing real-money trades. Join the Trading League or use Elite's Backtest Lab to replay historical charts and work through decisions candle by candle. Simulated results are not actual investment returns. DISCUSS SETUPS WITH OTHER TRADERS Pro and Elite members can join the discussion room, share chart images, ask questions, react and reply in threads. Stay involved with reply and TIC Team notifications according to your settings. Discuss individual trade ideas and join “Ask Ahmed” every Sunday. Free members can preview conversations. YOUR DAILY MARKET WORKSPACE Follow watchlists, price alerts, charts, market sentiment, the economic calendar and market sessions. Explore market analysis, price scenarios and confidence breakdowns where available. Trade ideas include timeframes, reasoning, opposing factors, entry, stop and three targets. TIC Desk brings your tools together on mobile and desktop, with access based on your plan. RISK, CAPITAL AND DISCIPLINE Use position-size, pip, margin and compound-growth calculators. Elite adds capital planning and Prop Guardrails to help monitor configured daily-loss and drawdown limits using available account data. These tools cannot prevent losses or guarantee compliance with a provider's rules. LEARN AT YOUR OWN PACE Build your knowledge with Trading Academy lessons and quizzes. Learn, practise and review your trading at your own pace. START FREE. CHOOSE WHAT YOU NEED. Start with free tools, manual journaling and paper trading. Pro adds AI and journal capabilities plus member discussions. Elite adds weekly coaching, Backtest Lab, Chart Vision, broker account tools and more. Features, usage limits and prices are shown in the app. English, Arabic with right-to-left support, and other languages are available. TIC provides educational tools and market commentary, not personalised investment advice. Trading involves risk and you can lose money. Past performance does not guarantee future results. Market data and alerts depend on providers and connectivity. Pro and Elite are paid auto-renewing subscriptions. Prices, billing periods and limits appear before purchase. Payment is processed by Apple. Subscriptions renew unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the current period ends. Manage or cancel in your Apple Account settings.

Setup Ai reads a price chart the way an analyst would, and says what it sees in plain words. Pick an instrument and in a few seconds the AI reads the 4-hour, 1-hour and 15-minute charts and answers in plain words: what the price is doing, where to enter and why there. The trade plan is drawn on the chart - entry, stop loss and target, each with the distance from the current price. When there is no clear entry, the read-out says so. WHAT IS INSIDE • Read-out of any instrument: forex, crypto, stocks - more than 1,000 in the catalogue • Trade plan on the chart: entry, stop and target • Important US dollar news for the next 24 hours, right under the read-out • Macroeconomic calendar, so a release does not catch you inside a position • Courses from the basics to strategies, written for reading rather than watching HOW IT WORKS Candles and indicators are calculated by code from market data. The AI looks at three charts the way a trader would, picks the entry and the stop and explains the decision without jargon. The program keeps the stop at about one and a half 15-minute candles and sets the target at exactly two stops. HONESTLY The app does not execute trades, is not a broker and does not hold client funds. It gives no personalised investment advice. Trading on financial markets carries a risk of losing your capital, and past results of any signal do not guarantee future returns. The decision is always yours. SUBSCRIPTION PRO opens unlimited read-outs, the full trade plan and all courses. Weekly or monthly, with three free days on the weekly plan for those who have not subscribed before. The subscription renews automatically; it can be cancelled at any time in Apple ID settings.

Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: TIC at 100% against Setup Ai's 0%. Setup Ai's advantage is update cadence (every 2 days vs every 6 days) and rating (4.9 vs 4.7). On price, ratings volume, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. TIC sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $29.99 per month and Setup Ai sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $8.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Setup Ai holds the better App Store score, 4.9 against 4.7. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 15 and 7 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 100% of TIC's written reviews are positive against 0% of Setup Ai's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
TIC ships an update every 6 days, Setup Ai every 2 days. The most recent releases landed on October 19, 2026 and October 16, 2026 respectively.
