Unlocking Smarter Trading with TrendSpider Sidekick
Artificial intelligence is changing the way traders approach markets. Charting, scanning, and research once took hours — now it can happen in seconds.
TrendSpider’s new AI assistant, Sidekick, is the clearest example yet of how powerful and practical trading AI can be.
This isn’t just another chatbot bolted onto a platform.
Sidekick is built natively into TrendSpider, using real market data, charts, and fundamentals in real time. That means no hallucinations, no scraping random websites — just clean, actionable insights.
And here’s the exciting part: this is exactly the type of cutting-edge tool we’ll be diving into over on my new Substack, AI Trend Trader, which officially launches next week.

Now, let’s dive into this new AI feature so you can get a taste of what you can expect from our new newsletter.
Real Data, Real Time
Sidekick has direct access to TrendSpider’s data feeds — everything from technicals, earnings, and fundamentals to insider and institutional activity.
Ask it to summarise Apple’s latest quarter, or to highlight unusual options flow, and you’ll get answers in seconds.
The best part? Sidekick isn’t relying on the open web. It’s plugged straight into TrendSpider’s own database, which means fewer errors, less fluff, and more precision when it counts.
Chart Awareness
This is where Sidekick separates itself from other “AI assistants.” It can literally see your charts. If you’ve drawn support lines, set indicators, or marked fib retracements, Sidekick takes those into account when giving feedback.
It’s like having a trading buddy who knows exactly what you’re looking at and can point out.
Honestly, this stuff is so useful I’m just afraid it’s going to make me seriously lazy.
Personalities That Fit Your Style
Trading isn’t one-size-fits-all, and Sidekick gets that. You can choose from different AI personas depending on what kind of perspective you want:
Warren — the patient, long-term investor.
Simon (Data Dude) — laser-focused on numbers and facts.
Karen the Skeptic — challenges every assumption, keeping you honest.
Graham the Stoic — calm, rational, level-headed.
Wall Street Dominator — brash, bold, high-energy analysis.
Bit of a gimmick, no doubt, but I’m looking to have some fun with this.
Visual Clarity
Markets are overwhelming. Earnings calls, balance sheets, options chains — it’s a firehose of data. Sidekick cuts through the noise with clean visuals: charts, tables, and side-by-side comparisons that make complex analysis digestible in seconds.
Need to compare Tesla and Rivian’s revenue growth?
Or line up NVIDIA’s margins next to AMD’s?
Sidekick will lay it out neatly so you can focus on the trade, not the homework.
Deep Analysis on Tap
Beyond charts, Sidekick can comb through SEC filings, earnings transcripts, and fundamentals.
It can run backtests on your strategies and tell you where they might break down
.It can flag seasonality trends, highlight insider buying, or recap an entire earnings season in a few sentences.
Instead of juggling ten tabs, you just ask Sidekick — and you’re done.
Always in Your Pocket
In August 2025, TrendSpider rolled Sidekick out to mobile. That means the same AI assistant that knows your charts and your workflow is now with you wherever you are.
Waiting in line for coffee? Pull out your phone and have Sidekick recap your portfolio’s news in under a minute.
It’s like carrying a trading desk in your pocket.
The Future of Trading Is Here
AI isn’t about replacing traders. It’s about giving them tools that amplify their edge.
With Sidekick, TrendSpider has built an assistant that understands charts, speaks your language, and adapts to your trading style.
And this is just the beginning.
At AI Trend Trader, launching next week, we’ll be exploring Sidekick and countless other AI-powered tools, strategies, and workflows.
Even better, we’ll roll out AI-enabled trading signals — designed to take this technology from theory to practice, so you can see exactly how it performs in real markets.
Whether you’re a day trader, swing trader, or long-term investor, Sidekick doesn’t just give you answers — it gives you confidence. And in the markets, confidence backed by data is priceless.
So if you’ve ever wished you had a second set of eyes on your charts, or a sceptical friend reminding you to double-check your thesis, Sidekick is here.
And if you want to stay ahead of the curve on AI in trading, make sure you’re subscribed to AI Trend Trader — because the future of trading isn’t coming, it’s already here.
