I lost big trading alone, so I built a social trading app
Hey PH! 👋
Quick background: a few years ago I quit my corporate job to trade full-time. I had rules and traded carefully — until one bad loss sent me into revenge-trading mode. Leverage, volatile tickers, emotional exits and instant re-entries. A painful chunk of my account melted away.
Looking back, my problem was never information. It was structure — no records, no verification, nobody watching.
So I built Stockers Club, social trading for US stocks & crypto:
• Live ticker clubs — same real-time chart, shared annotations, chat
• Verified positions — your exchange syncs read-only; real entries and PnL show in the room
• Prediction Box — draw your call on the chart, it gets auto-scored. No deleting your misses
• Auto journal + session replay — close a position, the draft writes itself; rewatch sessions like game VODs
• Stocki, our AI — briefings and chart analysis, hard-banned from ever saying "buy"
We're scheduled to launch here soon — tap "Notify me" on our page if you'd like to follow along.
Meanwhile, two honest questions for this community:
Would you connect a read-only exchange API key so a community could see your real positions? If not, what's the dealbreaker?
If you trade: have you ever kept a trading journal, and what made you stop?
Happy to answer anything about the build too (React + Supabase + Gemini/Claude, built solo). 🙏
