About TradeDiscuss
TradeDiscuss exists because of a specific, fixable problem: in trading, the loudest evidence is the least reliable. Screenshots get cropped. Losing calls get deleted. Win rates get quoted without a denominator. And the people who are actually good at this have no convenient way to prove it that a sceptic would accept.
What we built
A public record. A trader publishes a call — direction, stop, targets — and the platform prices it from its own market feed at the instant it is accepted. From that moment nothing about it can be edited. A background worker walks the candle series and resolves the call against real data, whether the trader is watching or not. The result joins their record permanently.
The design rule underneath everything is that the trader controls the prediction and nothing else. They do not supply the entry price on a market call. They cannot cancel a position once it is open. They cannot hide, edit or delete an outcome. They cannot make a losing call quieter than a winning one.
What we are careful not to claim
A graded call is a graded prediction. It is not proof that anyone placed a trade, and it is not proof that anyone made money. R is a ratio to the risk the trader defined, not a return on an account — position sizing, costs and concurrency are not modelled anywhere here.
We use four verification labels and never invent a fifth. “Timestamp recorded” and “Outcome checked” are automatic and always true. “Identity verified” and “Broker-connected” are off unless a real check actually happened. If a claim cannot be supported with a sample size and a window, we do not make it. What we verify spells this out precisely.
Who runs this
Operator disclosure — to be completed before launch. This section must carry the real names of the people running TradeDiscuss, their relevant background, a photograph, a professional profile link and a working contact address before the site goes to production. A platform that asks traders to stand behind their calls cannot itself be anonymous, and a finance site with an unattributed operator has no business asking anyone to trust its numbers.
Replace this block in src/app/about/page.tsx and remove the placeholder before the first public deploy. See docs/LAUNCH-RUNBOOK.md.
How this is paid for
TradeDiscuss is free to use and free to build a record on. The intended business model is tooling — custom branding, exports, deeper analytics, embeds and community dashboards for people who want more than the public product gives them.
What is not for sale, permanently:
- Leaderboard position, ranking or visibility.
- Favourable grading, or any grading exception.
- Removal or suppression of a losing call.
- A verification label that was not earned by an actual check.
If any of that ever changes, it will be announced on this page before it happens, not after.
Things we will not do
Every one of these is a known way that sites in this niche destroy their own credibility, and usually their search visibility along with it:
- Buy links, run private blog networks, or pay for placement.
- Create fake accounts, fake calls, fake engagement or fake track records.
- Mass-produce AI-written articles. Educational content here is hand-written or absent.
- Publish thin pages at scale to inflate an index count.
- Show any statistic without its sample size and window.
- Seed the production database with synthetic data. Production starts empty and stays real.
Corrections
The most serious bug this platform can have is a grading defect, because it silently misrepresents a real person's record. If you find one, we want to hear about it before anyone else does. Material grading corrections are announced, the affected calls are labelled, and history is not silently rewritten — every call stores the method version it was graded under.
Contact
Grading disputes, security reports, press and partnership enquiries all go to the address in the operator disclosure above. Security issues should be reported privately first; we will not pursue anyone who reports a vulnerability in good faith.
