Tradeo announces its new SocialTrader platform

Social trading network Trade has announced the launch of SocialTrader. The product combines the network’s ‘Cloud Trader’ web trading platform and social network on one interface. The goal of the new product is to allow users the ability to have access to the network’s social sentiment information directly from Tradeo’s order entry interface. Moving away from just providing social trading access to MT4 brokers, the company also announced connectivity to the ACT platform.

Within the Social Trading industry we have seen the launch of cross broker products become more developed during 2012 as they compete with the massive user network of eToro. Overall, a social trading platform’s success is limited to the breadth of its users. Also, while a trader searching for social trading is most likely to go to a pure play like eToro, it will be interesting to see ahead how individual brokers begin to market their cross broker social offerings. Currently, most brokers simply market the product alongside their existing offerings. Meaning that a user needs to be first interested in searching for a broker while then deciding to use the social trading platform. Therefore, to fully compete with eToro, a broker may need to devote a dedicated marketing campaign and separate web pages just to its social trading product.

CEO Jonathan Adest comments:

“SocialTrader is the world’s first Social Platform to be introduced to the market. After gathering a considerable amount of feedback from our users, it was apparent to us that a standalone social trading network doesn’t offer sufficient benefit in and of itself. Trading must be built-in.”

“Tradeo’s goal is to consistently build and offer a truly different and disruptive approach to trading.”

“We continue to work closely with brokers from all over the world. Our business model, at its most fundamental level, is based entirely on their success.”
