I think the top investor has 5m or | 10m under management which is the maximum allowed, I assume by | some regulation. meanwhile, billionaires drop billion dollar | trades left and right. | tschellenbach wrote: | Stocktwits/eToro are both quite popular. | stevewodil wrote: | If a signal to noise ratio could be negative Stocktwits would | be negative. Not even comparable | faldore wrote: | ok but you are missing the killer app. | | 1) I wanna share my trades 2) I wanna do it automatically across | multiple brokerages. | | think Tastyworks + Plaid + Facebook. for tracking all my trades | across all my brokerages. and social-media'izing it. (ie I and | other people can make comments on my trades) I can follow traders | I like and get notified when they make a trade. etc etc. | [deleted] | ab_testing wrote: | WSB lite ? | aqme28 wrote: | Some of the marketing implies that I could be "rewarded" by | picking stocks well.

This expanded within our | friend group, at least to people who were interested in the stock | market. | | We thought it would be great to have a platform where we could | have social interactions and combine it with core investment | information/data. We didn't like having to use multiple websites | to connect all the pieces of information needed to make | investment decisions. There are some sites out there that focus | on providing investment information (Seeking Alpha), and other | that focus more on the social interaction of investing | (StockTwits). | | Utradea is a social platform for investment ideas and insights. | It is built around the concept that people enjoy sharing and | discussing investment ideas. We built the usual social media | functions (comments, chat, like a post, etc.) and included | important investment data, charts, and a portfolio to help you | track your investments. | | Thanks for checking it out! | voisin wrote: | How does it compare to SumZero? | rsp1984 wrote: | Congrats, very well done! I look forward to trying this. Just | curious: What framework are you using for the frontend? | | One feature request right away: Please offer a light mode. Dark | mode is very tiresome for me to look at for longer periods of | time. | [deleted] | toss1 wrote: | Great idea and looks like very nice design at first glance -- | I'll sign up and check out the customizations! | | Thanks! | 101008 wrote: | What's the difference with eToro? | aqme28 wrote: | I just spent five minutes looking at eToro's landing page and I | cannot figure out what that site does. | stonlyb wrote: | Are you thinking of eventually merging social + trade execution | like https://public.com/ ? | failwhaleshark wrote: | Way better than https://halfbakery.com Congrats! | sergiomattei wrote: | Wow, what a beautiful platform with great UX.
