Project Overview
Tradytics is an analytics-based platform developed by a solo entrepreneur with 6 years of AI experience, designed to generate trade ideas for retail investors. Launched in July 2019 as a hobby project, the platform has grown significantly, currently generating $120k/month with over 3,000 paid users.
User Acquisition and Growth Strategy

Community Skepticism and Challenges

- Why sell trade ideas instead of trading independently?
- How verifiable are the trading signals?
- What is the actual edge/advantage of the platform?
Counterarguments suggested that finding scalable market edges is challenging, and selling trading insights can be more profitable than individual trading.
