Our take
Copy trading is the process in which stock trading participants replicate trades made by other people, usually using software that analyses and duplicates the trade. Usually, the trader being copied is one with a successful track record of investments. Dub is an app that allows users to easily copy trade via automation.
Registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission and FINRA, dub taps into the social-media-driven economy and uses similar analytics techniques to provide customers with an easy way to copy the trades of investor portfolios. Dub app users can also allow their investments to be copied, creating a propulsive ecosystem of traders.
Dub has $15 million in investment behind it and has customers from influential trading companies such as Robinhood, exemplifying the interest in it. Investors in dub include the CEO of Uber.
