PiTrade

Nearly half of young investors take their investing advice from social media, where nobody has an audited track record and nobody is accountable when a call goes wrong. PiTrade lets anyone build a US stock portfolio or mirror a verified expert's portfolio in real time, executed at the same price, under a regulated advisory relationship.

The people most likely to copy a trade from a YouTube or Discord tip are the people with the least protection when it goes wrong: the tip arrives late, the risk is never disclosed, and when the call fails there is nobody to answer for it. Meanwhile most of the world has no simple, trusted way into the US market at all, and a traditional adviser is too expensive for a first-time investor.

PiTrade makes following an expert accountable. Strategizers publish real portfolios with their risk and drawdowns shown, and followers invest in them directly; when the portfolio changes, theirs changes with it, at the same execution price, through a regulated broker. The founders came from quant desks at Goldman Sachs and J.P. Morgan and from Amazon, and built the company around its compliance structure first: an SEC-registered adviser, custody at Interactive Brokers, and SIPC protection on every account.
