An Introduction to NVSTly: Understanding the User Interfaces

December 2, 2024

Welcome to NVSTly, the premier social trading platform where you can follow, learn from, and interact with top traders in real-time. Whether you’re new to trading or an experienced investor, NVSTly provides a suite of tools to enhance your trading journey. Here’s an in-depth look at what NVSTly offers:

Trades Feed

The Trades Feed is the heartbeat of NVSTly, showcasing all trades submitted by traders. Trades are displayed in real-time for premium users and with a 15-minute delay for free users. Each time a trade is opened, averaged, trimmed/partially closed, or exited, it gets refreshed to the top of this list.

Each trade entry displays:

The trader’s name
Ticker being traded (with direction: long/short)
Options data (if applicable)
Current status
Opening price
Profit/loss statistics

You can expand each row to view any notes from the trader. Additionally, users can give +Rep or leave comments directly on these trade rows.

Submitting a New Trade

The New Trade interface is designed for submitting trades and modifying existing positions. This interface is your gateway to opening new trades, while the Active Positions tab lets you average, trim, partially close, or exit your open positions.

For a detailed guide, see Submit Trades.

Help Tip: Did you know you can auto-share your trades directly to Discord using webhooks and custom messages? Check out Discord Trade Sharing for more info. Support for X (previously Twitter) is coming back soon!
