The platform is for traders who knows what they are doing. We have professional traders building their trading strategies on the platform. We are working on marketplace where non-professionals would be able to invest in professional trader's strategies for profit share.

No, the platform is for people who think they know what they're doing. Which it's why it's a bad idea. It's a very elaborate and expensive way for people to learn that the problem is much more complicated than they initially thought.

Sorry, but that makes no sense. If a professional trader created a profitable strategy, why would she share it with non-professionals and "profit share"?

Further, if a number of people started to use a profitable strategy, then it wouldn't be profitable for very long.

sure, if you are targeting professional traders, it's reasonable, but professional traders need to build their own infrastructure to be professional. in trading, infrastructure is the edge. there is no edge in using someone else's trading infrastructure.
