Pain Points
Users lacked comprehensive educational materials to build a foundation in trading, leaving them uncertain about market dynamics and strategies.
Many users found existing trading platforms too complex, leading to confusion and frustration, especially for beginners attempting to navigate the intricacies of buying and selling financial instruments.
Beginner traders found it challenging to practice without risking real money, which impeded their ability to fine-tune strategies and build confidence before entering the actual trading arena.
