Find My Trade

A startup company came up with an idea of bringing in all the Trade Advisors together within a common platform for them in order to share their knowledge as well as guide traders (old and new). They named the platform ‘FindMYTrade’

But one of the major challenges was to make the platform engaging for its users. Unlike other social sharing platforms, this wasn’t a content sharing or video sharing platform for entertainment purposes but an entirely information-centric platform. So, making it addictive enough for users to stay hooked onto the app was already challenging.
