About Trade with Trust

The problem we're solving

Trading social media has a trust problem. Twitter, Instagram, Discord, YouTube, and TikTok are full of screenshots — P&L images, order confirmations, position windows — and screenshots are trivially faked. A screenshot can be edited in a browser's inspector in ten seconds, generated from a template, cropped to hide size, dated forward or backward, or reused from a lucky day years ago. There is no way for a follower to tell the difference.

The result is a whole cottage industry of self-declared trading "gurus" whose track record is a Photoshop project. Followers get burned. Real traders — the ones who actually have the receipts — get lumped in with them, because there is no structural way to prove one from the other. That's the gap Trade with Trust exists to close.

Founder

Trade with Trust was founded by Sajan Chhaya and is operated by Entrava Innovations, a New Jersey company. Sajan built the platform after watching too many friends and family members follow "verified" trading influencers whose records fell apart on close inspection — cropped wins, missing losses, back-dated calls, and no way to check any of it.

The insight behind Trade with Trust was simple: brokers already have the ground truth. Every fill, every price, every timestamp lives in the account itself. If you could pipe that data straight from the broker into a public profile — read-only, so the trader could never tamper with it — the whole trust problem would collapse. There would be nothing to fake. That's the platform.

Mission

Trade with Trust exists to make trading credibility structural instead of performative. Every trade posted on the platform is verified against the trader's actual brokerage account — through a secure read-only connection or by parsing official broker statement PDFs. Aggregate stats (win rate, P&L, best and worst trades, hold times) are computed on the fly from those verified rows using formulas anyone can inspect. There is no editable "reported" field sitting alongside the verified one.

Losses show up too — by design. Selective per-trade delete of verified trades isn't offered, so nobody can quietly remove losers to inflate their stats. That's the anti-cherry-pick guarantee, and it's what makes a verified record on this platform actually mean something.

What makes the platform different

• Verification is structural, not editorial. Every trade comes from a broker transaction. Manual entry is not a shortcut to a verified badge — there is no path from a claim to a verified row that bypasses the broker.
• Read-only, always. Broker tokens are scoped to reading trade history and positions. We cannot place trades, cancel trades, or move money. Credentials never touch our servers.
• Open-position verification. When a trader publicly declares a live position, the platform confirms with the broker that they actually hold it — closing the "I called it" loophole that screenshots can never close.
• Losses count. A win rate that hides losses is math in service of a lie. Here, every verified trade counts toward the aggregate.
• Private by default. Nothing on your account is public until you post it. You choose which accounts feed your record and which trades become posts.
