--- title: "Join the waitlist ยท Trado Strategy Lab" description: "Join the Trado Strategy Lab waitlist for 500 launch credits, early access by invitation and referral rewards. Launch: 1 November 2026, 00:00 IST." canonical: "https://algo.trado.trade/waitlist" lastModified: "2026-10-06" --- # Join the waitlist. Get in first, and get more. Trado Strategy Lab opens on 1 November 2026, 00:00 IST. Waitlist members get 500 launch credits on top of the welcome credits, a Founding member badge and early access by invitation. Add your email, and your WhatsApp number if you want the launch message there. ## What founding members get The benefits attach when you create your account with the same e-mail address you used on the waitlist and verify it. Joining the waitlist after launch gives no founding benefits. - **500 launch credits**, on top of the 25 welcome credits every account gets (525 in total at Bronze). They are valid for 90 days from the moment your e-mail is verified. - **A Founding member badge** on your account. - **Early access:** Early access by invitation, about a week before launch. Invitations go out as addresses are approved, so there is no exact date to promise. - **A first month at the Starter price:** your first paid plan order for any monthly plan above Starter costs the Starter price. It applies to the first paid plan order only, never together with a coupon, and is available until 7 January 2027. ## How it works 1. **Join.** Add your email, and your WhatsApp number if you want the launch message there. 2. **Share your link.** You get a personal link as soon as you join. Send it on WhatsApp or anywhere else. 3. **Move up.** Each friend who joins with your link moves you up 5 places and counts toward your level. ## Move up the list by sharing it Your position is your join order. Each friend who joins with your link moves you up 5 places, and referral levels add credits on top of the launch credits. The level you hold at the moment your e-mail is verified is the one that counts. - **Bronze:** 1 referral. - **Silver:** 3 referrals, adds 250 credits. - **Gold:** 10 referrals, adds 1,000 credits. - A referral made from your own browser does not count, so the list stays fair. ## What we ask for, and what we do with it Only your email is required. We use it to confirm your place and to tell you when the Lab opens. Your WhatsApp number, if you give it, is stored unverified and used for the launch message only. Your name and how you trade are optional and help us decide what to build first. We never publish the list, and the form does not say whether an address or number is already on it. A temporary-mail address is not accepted. ## Waitlist questions ### When does the Lab open? On 1 November 2026, 00:00 IST. Early access is by invitation, about a week before launch, as addresses are approved. ### Do I have to sign up with the same e-mail address? Yes. The benefits attach only when the account is created with the e-mail address you used on the waitlist and that address is verified. Joining the waitlist after launch gives no founding benefits. ### What happens if I join twice? Nothing changes. An address that is already on the list gets its own place back. ### Do I have to give a WhatsApp number? No. It is optional. If you add one, use the international format, for example +91 98765 43210; ten-digit Indian numbers get +91 by themselves. ### Does joining cost anything? No. Joining is free and does not commit you to anything.
