What Is TC2000

TC2000 is a charting and screening platform developed by Worden Brothers, known for its fast scanning capabilities and clean interface. It offers real-time charting, customizable stock scans, watchlists, and a proprietary condition-based scanning language called EasyScan. TC2000 also has a brokerage arm (TC2000 Brokerage) that allows manual order placement from within the platform. Plans range from $9.99 to $89.98 per month.

TC2000 is one of the few analysis platforms that includes a brokerage component, which means you can go from scan to chart to manual trade without switching applications. However, TC2000's automation capabilities are limited. You can set price and condition alerts, but the platform does not offer true automated strategy execution. There is no equivalent to TradeStation's EasyLanguage for building and deploying fully automated trading systems. The scanning is powerful, but every trade still requires your manual intervention to place, size, and manage.

What Is TradeExecutor.ai

TradeExecutor.ai is a brokerage-agnostic strategy monitoring and execution platform, built on the same rules-based EasyLanguage strategy logic. It does not send you alerts or charts to interpret. It does not require you to make a decision. It reads the market, identifies qualifying setups, calculates position size, places the order, manages the stop, and closes the trade. Every step is rule-based. Every step is automated. Monitoring costs $9.99 a month; execution requires a paid Execute tier and your connected brokerage's authorization.

Where TC2000 gives you charting, scanning, and alerts, TradeExecutor.ai gives you execution. That is the fundamental difference between the two products. One expects you to act on the information. The other acts for you, based on rules you own.

Feature Comparison

Cost Comparison

TC2000 costs $9.99 to $89.98 per month. Over 12 months, that is a recurring expense that compounds regardless of whether you act on the information or not. Over 3 years, the total cost can exceed several thousand dollars for a tool that still requires you to manually execute every trade.

TradeExecutor.ai is free to create an account and monitor. Monitor is $9.99/month; Execute plans (connect a brokerage and authorize automated execution) start at $199/month. There are no long-term contracts -- switch tiers or cancel from inside the platform at any time. The Switch Calculator shows the real cost comparison for your specific situation.

Beyond the dollar comparison, there is a deeper cost to consider: the execution leak. Every time you hesitate, override a signal, move a stop, or miss an entry because you were away from the screen, that is a quantifiable cost. TC2000 cannot solve that problem because it still depends on you to execute. TradeExecutor.ai eliminates that variable entirely.

The Real Question

The comparison between TradeExecutor.ai and TC2000 is not really about features. It is about a fundamental choice: do you want better information, or do you want better execution? Most traders already have enough information. What they lack is consistent, rule-based execution that removes hesitation, emotion, and human error from the process.

If you have been paying for charting, scanning, and alerts tools and still find yourself second-guessing entries, moving stops, or missing trades, the problem is not the information. The problem is the execution layer. TradeExecutor.ai is built to solve that specific problem. Learn more about the automated vs manual execution difference.
