Free for life.
Your broker pays — not you.
The full platform is free for everyone — no card, no trial clock, no broker required. What keeps it free: when you trade through a partner broker, the broker pays Elave an introducing-broker rebate on the spreads you’d pay anyway. There is no Elave subscription, for anyone, ever.
How it works
Open a partner broker account
Pick the broker that fits how you trade and open a normal brokerage account through the link below. Same KYC, same regulated broker, same spreads you'd pay anyway.
Trade as you normally would
Nothing about your trading changes. You keep full custody of your funds with the broker — Elave never sees or holds your money.
The broker pays Elave — not you
The broker pays Elave an introducing-broker rebate on your activity. That rebate is what keeps the platform free for everyone. Fund the account with $1,000+ and the TradingView indicator unlocks too.
How access works
There are no tiers and nothing to subscribe to. The full platform is free for everyone; one deposit threshold unlocks the TradingView indicator; the Strategy EA is by application.
Free for everyone — full platform, no card.
Sign up and the whole terminal is yours: the full ranked daily picks, charts, screeners, scanners, journal with broker auto-sync, AI coach, news, calendar, and education. No trial clock, no degraded preview. It stays free because partner brokers pay Elave an introducing-broker rebate — you are never the one paying.
A $1,000 deposit with a partner broker unlocks the TradingView indicator.
Open an account through a partner broker and fund it with $1,000 or more. The broker reports the deposit, your account flags automatically, and you request the TradingView invite from the platform. The deposit stays in your own brokerage account — it is your trading capital, not a payment to Elave. If the deposit doesn't register within one trading day, write to support and we reconcile it manually.
The Strategy EA is by application only.
An automated execution engine for a small number of traders running real capital. Sold by application, never self-serve — you book a call, we look at the fit, and if it isn't right we say so and point you back to the free platform.
The partner brokers
Pick the one that fits how you trade. Each is a regulated broker you open an account with directly — Elave is the introducing party, never the custodian of your funds.

Broker availability depends on your country of residence. Elave does not hold client funds, execute trades, or provide investment advice. Trading carries risk, including the loss of capital.
Brokers pay to acquire active traders. When you open an account through Elave, the broker pays us an introducing-broker rebate on your trading activity — the same way price-comparison sites and cashback apps are paid by the merchant, not the customer. You trade the spreads and commissions you would pay anyway; nothing is marked up to fund Elave. That is the entire business model. The only paid product Elave sells is the Strategy EA, offered by application to a small number of high-volume traders.
Common questions
Is it really free?+
Yes — for everyone, with no card and no broker required. There is no Elave subscription. The platform is funded by introducing-broker rebates the broker pays us on your activity — not by charging you.
Do I pay wider spreads to cover the rebate?+
No. You trade the broker's standard spreads and commissions. The rebate is paid out of the broker's own acquisition budget; it is not added on top of your costs.
Can I use my existing broker?+
Yes. The full platform is free with any broker, or none. The one thing that requires a partner broker is the TradingView indicator — a $1,000 deposit there unlocks it, because that introducing relationship is what funds the platform.
What if I never deposit?+
Nothing changes — you keep the full platform free forever. The only thing you won't have is the TradingView indicator, which unlocks with a $1,000 partner-broker deposit. The Strategy EA is separate and by application only.
Does Elave touch my money?+
Never. Your funds stay with the regulated broker in your own account. Elave is the introducing party and an analytics layer — it cannot deposit, withdraw, or trade on your behalf.
Elave is a trading-analytics and education platform, not a broker, investment adviser, or custodian. Trading leveraged products carries a high risk of loss and is not suitable for everyone; you can lose more than your deposit. Past performance does not indicate future results. Broker partnerships are introducing-broker arrangements — broker availability, account terms, and regulatory protections depend on your jurisdiction and are set by the broker, not by Elave. Read each broker’s own risk disclosures before opening an account.
