Frequently Asked Questions
Basically TradeDiff focuses on everything else besides the actual trade execution. When you securely connect a brokerage account, every time you make a trade, TradeDiff automatically pulls in your trade data so you don't have to manually upload anything.
TradeDiff does not support executing trades on your behalf nor can it perform any movement of funds. We currently have almost 10 million in brokerage account funds connected securely via TD Ameritrade's APIs .
To be allowed to operate with TD Ameritrade APIs, we must adhere to their Terms of uss policy. Any violation could result in us being shut down (or pursued legally). Here is a relevant part of the agreement regarding what we are allowed to do with your data:
Keep in mind, while things like passwords are not allowed to be stored, TradeDiff doesn't even have access to that type of data since authentication is done via TD Ameritrade's website. So there is no risk of credentials being compromised on TradeDiff.

If maintaining anonymity make you more comfortable, we encourage it. We want more real accounts connected at Tradediff so we can learn from and potentially collaborate with a wide range of traders with different areas of expertise.
We are always looking for ways to make learning more interesting, fun, and with more transparency.

At TradeDiff we have thought of innovative ways to make simulated (paper) trading educational and realistic. For one we've created a friendly, competitive environment where you can compete with others so you can compare and learn by literally watching what others do well (and bad).
Secondly, the platfrom can enforce certain trading restrictions to prevent newbies from making common mistakes, such as trading too large or executing strategies incorrectly. No other platform right now can do this. So by using our simulation platform, you can actually be forced into learning best practices.
We also provide the ability to restrict trading to certain strategies. Restricting strategies that are allowed to be traded in a particular contest can focus learning on single strategies at a time. Mastering strategies one at a time is far better than trying to trade everything at once. Having the platform enforce restrictions can create more realistic situations and narrow focus for a better learning experience. TradeDiff is the only platform that offers this functionality.

In the world of software development, a "diff" is a comparison of two pieces of code. Here "Trade" and "diff" could mean a comparison between two different trading styles. :)
