4 points by Afrah123 3y ago

Hey traders and investors, I'm launching a new microblogging platform focused on discovering top performing traders (Verified). The platform allows users to subscribe to you and see what you're buying and/or selling. We need beta testers to help shape our platform's future. Why beta test with us? - Early access to our platform. - Influence the development of a tool for traders and investors. - Connect with like-minded individuals in the trading/investing community. - A chance to make a difference and shape the future of financial trading/investing. So if you buy or sell U.S stocks, we need you! Oh and it's free! Interested? Email: ishipcode@gmailcom Twitter: @afrahtweets

Cool idea. I was looking for something where if I find a top trader and they use thinkorswim or IB and they say trade, I want to get in and out at the same time as them. Like synced through their API/account and that it would get in when they enter and exit when they exit. Is that the goal here also?

  Exactly, you've captured the essence of our goal! I appreciate your interest, feel free to send me a message on Twitter (@afrahtweets), and I'll be thrilled to get you started as a beta user to explore this functionality firsthand.

There's already a platform that does this well, integrated with the huge trading community on Discord. It's called Trade Hub, they actually just released "v2.0" and named it NVSTly.

  You should reach out to them, they're looking for developers with background in the markets.

    I would love to reach out to YOU (if possible). I’m not looking to join an existing company. I’ve already built my platform. I’m looking for users to beta test for me.

Legitimate top traders would not need people to follow their trades. In fact, the best ones would advise you against it. Trading is a redistribution of wealth from the bad traders to the good ones. You might make this idea work but it sounds shady. I don’t see how this has any value to legitimate traders. Let me know if I misunderstood though.

  Your concern is valid. For top traders, the platform provides an additional revenue stream ($$$) through subscriptions from users who value their expertise. At the same time, less experienced traders can access valuable insights, creating a win-win dynamic where "legitimate traders" are rewarded for their knowledge, and others gain insights/real time trades to enhance their trading skills. Would you like to try out the platform?

    The original description sounds like it’s about subscribing to buy/sell signals. Your response here still sounds like a more carefully worded version of that. Reacting to real time trades easily leads to emotional decisions and that’s one of the biggest things traders struggle with. It just goes against everything I appreciate about trading so no I’m not interested.

      It's a microblogging site to see what others are buying and selling, and to learn from their content, not just blindly copy each trade in real time trade. You don't have to "react" to any trades. But I totally understand, not a problem ezero :)

    What scale is this revenue? I find it hard to imagine that subscription revenue could hold a candle to the income already generated by "top" traders. Do you have traders already working with you that have expressed interest in being followed via this product?

How is this any different than public.com?

  This platform offers a unique opportunity for top traders to monetize their expertise directly through the platform. Unlike Public, where users primarily invest in stocks and ETFs, we enable traders to earn income by sharing their insights/trades.
