A perfect storm of events happened during 2020-2021, with the country on lockdown from the pandemic people were working from home, and the ones who didn't have the luxury seeked out ways to earn an income during these struggling times, and it created an influx of new retail investors or traders. In a tiny corner of the retail trading community, whom didn't know what was brewing and about to happen, a meme stock was born- GameStop. The new year brought an unprecedented event like no other before called a gamme squeeze, which was stirring up on the wallstreetbets subreddit. The investors who got in early were in for a massive profit, but the unknowing newcomers with zero experience or knowledge were taking a huge hit- some reporting on losing their life savings.

This is when Trade Hub was constructed. I witnessed the almost cult-like following and blind investing strategies, or lack thereof, creating the need of a platform that is more than 'tendies' and memes. A safe place where newcomers can find solid educational content, material, and mentorship. The art of trade signals had also peeked during the frenzy, and was difficult to sort the quality analysts and traders from the "furus". This is how the trade tracking & sharing came to fruition, a tool where top traders can prove and showcase their tlanets by submitting their trades to be tracked & shared using real-time market data and accurate performance stats.

There is still much work to be done, but we've cracked the trade signals industry on Discord and now executing our plan to bring it to the masses, with brokerage integration to automate it all and offer 1-click or automated copy trading. As well providing a platform where traders can share their ideas, analysis, or insights without the toxic environment found on Stocktwits.
