TC2000 Free Trial: Plans, Features, and the 30-Day Money-Back Guarantee

TC2000 offers a free trial of any paid plan plus a separate 30-day money-back guarantee on the first paid month. Here is how the trial works, what each plan includes, what the optional add-on data feeds cost, and how to apply a $25 partner discount when you decide to subscribe.

Key Takeaways

• The TC2000 free trial lets you use the platform without charge during the trial period; you can cancel at any time by calling 1-800-776-4940. Both the trial and the 30-day money-back guarantee are reserved for new users or accounts inactive for at least 12 months, limit one per household per year.
• TC2000 sells three paid tiers: Basic ($24.99/month), Premium ($49.99/month), and Premium+ ($99.99/month). Real-time US stock data is bundled into all three. EasyScan, chart drawing tools, and personal criteria formulas start at Premium.
• Real-time US options data is a separate $9.99/month add-on (not bundled into any tier). TC2000 does not chart futures, forex, or cryptocurrency on any plan.

Can You Actually Use TC2000 for Free?

TC2000 offers two no-risk ways to use the platform without paying out of pocket, both governed by Worden Brothers’ published terms of use. The first is the Free Trial Policy: you sign up, use the platform during the trial period, and cancel at any time by calling 1-800-776-4940 to pay nothing. The trial is reserved for new users or for accounts that have been inactive for at least 12 months, with a limit of one per household per year.

The second is the 30-Day Money-Back Guarantee on a paid subscription. Subscribe to a plan, use it for up to 30 days, and call 1-800-776-4940 to request a full refund for any reason. Worden processes the refund within roughly 24 business hours of the call. Like the trial, the guarantee is reserved for new users or accounts inactive for at least 12 months, limit one per household per year. Both policies can apply to a new user, so the trial and the guarantee together give extended risk-free access to the paid feature set.

There is no permanent free tier on the paid plans. Any “TC2000 free” search result on Google or Bing is referring either to the free trial period or to TC2000’s limited delayed-data preview that lets you look around the platform before signing up.

What the Free Trial Includes

The TC2000 free trial unlocks the same features the paid plan you select normally provides. If you start the trial on Premium, you get Premium-level features for the duration of the trial. If you start on Premium+, you get the full Premium+ feature set. The most-used features the trial activates:

• Real-time US stock data feed (bundled into all three paid tiers)
• Stock and option charting with hundreds of built-in indicators (RSI, MACD, Ichimoku, volume at price, moving averages)
• Live streaming watchlists synced between the desktop and web platforms
• Customizable layouts and real-time financial news
• Practice paper trading on the live data feed
• EasyScan Wizard, Personal Criteria Formulas (PCFs), and chart drawing tools (Premium and Premium+ only)
• Real-time Market-Pulse Gauges, intraday performance columns, and 1,000 tracked alerts (Premium+ only)

What the trial does not include are the optional data feeds that TC2000 sells separately. Real-time US options data is a $9.99/month add-on (not bundled into any tier), and so are real-time US indexes ($9.99/month), Dow Jones data ($1.50/month delayed or $2.50/month real-time), and the consolidated tape ($14.99/month). If you need those feeds during the trial to evaluate a specific workflow, you have to add them on the same checkout.

Asset classes TC2000 does not support at all are not unlocked by the trial either. The platform does not chart futures, forex, or cryptocurrency on any plan, so the trial cannot give you access to those markets. If you trade those asset classes, the trial is not the right test.

The 30-Day Money-Back Guarantee, Explained

Separate from the free trial, TC2000 backs every paid subscription with a 30-Day Money-Back Guarantee. The exact wording from the TC2000 terms of use is: “Cancel at any time within the first 30 days after purchasing a data package for any reason and you’ll receive a prompt, 100%, no questions asked refund.”

To request a refund, call 1-800-776-4940. Worden processes refunds within 24 business hours of the call. Eligibility matches the free trial: new users or accounts inactive at least 12 months, limit one per household per year.

The guarantee is the path for testing features the trial may not cover comfortably in a short period: the depth of Premium+ scanning (1,000 tracked alerts, real-time Market-Pulse gauges, intraday performance columns) or one of the optional data feeds. Subscribe, run it through 30 days of real market hours, and request the refund inside the window if it does not earn its keep.

TC2000 Plans: Basic, Premium, Premium+

TC2000 has three paid tiers. Pricing shown is as of 2026 from tc2000.com/pricing; confirm on the live page before subscribing because Worden adjusts pricing periodically.

Basic ($24.99/month) is the entry tier. It includes the real-time US stocks data feed, stock and option charting, live streaming watchlists, customizable layouts, real-time financial news, and practice paper trading. EasyScan, PCFs, chart drawing tools, and alerts are NOT in Basic, so traders who scan setups daily will outgrow this tier quickly.

Premium ($49.99/month) adds the features most active traders need: real-time scanning and sorting, the EasyScan Wizard, Personal Criteria Formulas, chart drawing tools (trend lines, Fibonacci, etc.), stack/group/hide columns, multi-monitor support, history columns, the Most Watched and Trending Stocks lists, the Morning Pre-Buzz, and tracking for 100 alerts. The free trial defaults to Premium-level features so you can evaluate the most-used tier without committing.

Premium+ ($99.99/month) layers on real-time Market-Pulse Gauges, real-time Market-Pulse Indicators, live auto-refreshing filters and sorts, intraday performance columns, and 1,000 tracked alerts (up from 100 on Premium). The 30-day money-back guarantee is the cleanest way to test whether Premium+ depth is worth the upgrade over Premium for your style.

Worden also offers a Pre-Payment Plan with bonus access months added at the end of the paid period. The published example is “Buy 10 Months, Get 2 Months Free”, which gives you 12 months of access for the price of 10. If you cancel a Pre-Payment Plan early, Worden refunds the remaining paid months but the bonus months are forfeited.

The $25 partner discount applies to the first paid month on any tier when you enter the pricing page through the Financial Tech Wiz link.

Optional Add-On Data Feeds

TC2000 sells several optional data feeds and alert packs as monthly add-ons on top of any paid tier. Pricing as of 2026:

The add-on most options traders look at first is the $9.99/month real-time US options feed; the base tiers include real-time US stock quotes but options quotes default to delayed unless this add-on is enabled.

How to Activate the Free Trial

The TC2000 free trial activates entirely on tc2000.com:

1. Visit tc2000.com and click Pricing.
2. Click Start Free Trial under the plan you want to evaluate (most users start on Premium).
3. Complete the signup flow with your email and password. Confirm the trial details on the signup page itself, since trial duration and signup requirements can change.
4. Download the desktop client from the link emailed to you, or click into the web platform from the same email.

If the goal is to evaluate scanning during live market hours, register the morning of a trading day so the full trial period falls on active sessions. If you plan to keep the subscription after the trial and want the $25 partner discount on your first paid month, enter the pricing page through the Financial Tech Wiz partner link before checking out. The discount applies automatically in the cart. The full mechanics of the partner discount, including which plans it applies to, are in the TC2000 discount code walkthrough.

How to Cancel TC2000 (Trial or Paid Subscription)

TC2000 does not offer in-app cancellation. To cancel a trial or a paid subscription, call 1-800-776-4940. The line is open seven days a week. If you cancel during the free trial period, you pay nothing.

For paid subscribers inside the 30-day money-back window (counted from your data package purchase date), request the refund during the same call. Worden processes it within 24 business hours and the charge reverses to the card on file. Outside the 30-day window, cancellation stops future billing but does not refund the current month. Per the TOS, cancellation during a Monthly Subscription billing period stops the subscription at the end of that billing period, and you can reinstate later without penalty.

TC2000 vs the Permanent Free Alternatives

If you want a real-time charting tool you can use forever without paying, TC2000 is not the right fit. The free trial and the 30-day refund window are temporary, and there is no permanent free tier for the paid feature set. The closest forever-free alternatives with real-time data are TradingView’s free plan (the most full-featured permanent free charting tool, real-time data on most US tickers, multi-asset coverage including futures, forex, and crypto), StockCharts’ limited free tier (delayed data, basic indicators), and broker-bundled platforms like thinkorswim (free with a funded Schwab account) and E*Trade Power E*Trade.

The decision usually comes down to one feature: EasyScan. TC2000’s scanner is the reason most traders end up paying. If EasyScan-style scanning is the workflow you need, the free trial plus the 30-day refund window are the right path. If you mostly want clean charts, indicators, and multi-asset coverage without a scanner, TradingView’s free tier handles that without a payment.

If you are comparing the two before committing to either trial, the TradingView vs TC2000 comparison breaks down charting depth, scanner behavior, and pricing head-to-head. TradingView’s own trial mechanics are detailed in the TradingView free trial guide.

Whichever charting tool you pick, the trades you place on it still need to be tracked separately. Once the trial ends and you start logging real trades, the Financial Tech Wiz Trading Journal tracks performance by symbol, time of day, asset type, and hold duration across every broker.

Who TC2000 Is Not For

TC2000 is built specifically for US equity and options traders, and that focus means three groups should look elsewhere. Futures traders will not find futures support on any TC2000 plan; NinjaTrader, TradingView, or thinkorswim handle futures charting and execution. Forex traders need a different platform entirely (TradingView, MetaTrader, or a broker-native platform). Crypto traders are similarly out of scope; TradingView’s free tier or a broker like Coinbase or Kraken covers crypto charting natively.

Day traders who depend on Level 2 order book data should also evaluate other platforms. TC2000 surfaces basic Level 1 quotes during the trial, but heavier order-flow workflows are better served by thinkorswim, DAS Trader, or Sterling Trader Pro.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is TC2000 free forever?

No. TC2000 has no permanent free tier on the paid plans. The free trial and the 30-day money-back guarantee on a paid subscription are the only no-risk paths, and both are limited to one per household per year for new users or accounts inactive for at least 12 months. After those windows close, continued access requires a paid subscription.

How long is the TC2000 free trial?

The trial duration is shown on the TC2000 signup page at the time you start it. Per Worden’s terms of use, you can cancel at any time during the trial by calling 1-800-776-4940 and pay nothing. Confirm the current trial length on tc2000.com before signing up; Worden has the right to adjust trial length.

How do I cancel my TC2000 trial or subscription?

Call 1-800-776-4940. TC2000 does not offer in-app cancellation. The line is open seven days a week. If you are inside a free trial, cancellation stops the trial and you pay nothing. If you are inside the 30-day money-back window on a paid plan (counted from your data package purchase date), ask for a refund during the same call and it will post to your card within 24 business hours.

What is the TC2000 free trial discount code?

TC2000 does not run a straight discount code on the free trial itself because the trial is already free. A $25 discount applies to the first paid subscription when you enter the pricing page through the Financial Tech Wiz partner link. The discount shows up in the cart automatically.

Does the TC2000 free trial include real-time options data?

Real-time US stock quotes are bundled into all three paid tiers and into the free trial of those tiers. Real-time US options quotes are NOT bundled; they are a separate $9.99/month add-on. If you need real-time options data during the trial to evaluate a specific options workflow, you have to add the feed at signup.

What assets can I chart during the TC2000 free trial?

US stocks and options. TC2000 does not support futures, forex, or cryptocurrency on any plan, so the trial does not unlock those asset classes either. If you trade futures or crypto, TradingView or thinkorswim is a better charting choice.
