What does VTM do?
We try to offer a clear visual display of the overall positions within any of our listed markets.
How do VTM offer this data:
1) VTM has an API that plugs into various Trading Platforms extracting the data of all the traders trades anonymously and shows an aggregated sentiment.
2) VTM can also safely extract your own trade data by way of a “third party investor password” which you supply to us directly. This allows us to Only View your trades and provides us with no other access to your trading account. This tool is commonly used if you wish a Copy Trader to copy your Trades or if you have a plug in Trading Journal which needs this type of data to compute your metrics. Its completely safe, offering just “View Only” which we then display collectively along with thousands of other Traders to show the overall aggregated trading position of the users.

Why would I want my positions shared?
Well we try to work as a community of retail traders. It’s always useful to know what others are doing. By showing us your Trade data…. You get to see everyone else’s Trade Data. That makes sense right? Its All Anonymised so no one knows who is doing what, yet you can all see a collective flow of real trades. It’s just numbers.
How do VTM make money:
VTM makes money from introducing new traders to brokers via our Broker Comparison page and or from advertising space (but not too many adverts). Eventually when we have enough participants that our metrics become an essential tool to trading, we will introduce a monthly subscription service.
How is my Data used:
We have to store Trade Data for our metrics to be any benefit to our users, but all data is anonymised and not attached to any particular person. Just Numbers on Numbers. We may or may not find a way in the future to monetise this information.
