Any trader or investor worth his salt knows that analyzing the value of a stock is essential to making good stock purchases. However, if you’re a beginner, an overload of information out there can make this process extremely complicated, and this complication can increase the fear of wanting to learn how to trade.
Thankfully, TradeHero is here to help! No matter which approach one chooses to use in analysis, all stocks possess certain inherent qualities and characteristics that give good indications of a company’s worth and value. The TradeHero app includes, in one stock page, some of these essential indicators to give you a quick and comprehensive overview of a stock.

What do a basketball, a coffee machine and a parking lot have in common?
They are all dumb objects that will soon be plugged into the Internet to talk not only to us, but each other as well, in an imminent reality known as the ‘Internet of Everything’ (IoE). What am I talking about?
Imagine this.
You practice your shots on the basketball court. In real time, an app on your smartphone measures the dribble force/speed, shot speed, shot backspin and shot arc of each shot.
You wake up, get dressed, go downstairs and are greeted with a steaming cup of coffee that started brewing after talking to your alarm clock.
You’re driving around looking for a parking lot but they all seem taken. You stop the car by the side of the road and wait for a little while. Soon, a notification on your smartphone lets you know where a parking lot has just freed up.
According to Jim Chambers, CEO of Cisco Systems, the IoE is our imminent reality. The basketball example? It’s a real product, much like many others, that are beginning to transform the way humans interact with the objects around us. Dumb objects like a ball, a table or even just a pill container will soon be able to relay information to us via sensors and microchips.
For investors, this seems like the perfect opportunity to jump in, and rightly so. Money-makers and analysts are touting the IoE as the next big thing, and a great “stomping ground” for investors. However, does it sound too good to be true?
In this article, we break down the good, the bad and the ugly of the IoE for the wise investor, and give you an aggregated view of which stocks, if IoE is as successful as Cisco claims, are tickling the fancy of financial experts around the globe.

While we ended 2013 on a high, TradeHero continues our growth in 2014 with great news. We are joining the fourth class of Microsoft Ventures Accelerator in Beijing.
Joining this program is a huge step forward for us as we get more engaged with China’s users. Here are some of the photos taken by our CEO, Dinesh, while they participated in the Microsoft’s DEMO Day event in Beijing.
2013 was a year of record growth and profits for the global stock market, but will this momentum continue in 2014? Because of several big events such as new legislation and regulations, product releases and encouraging forecast numbers of the general economy, analysts have been pinpointing certain key sectors for prominent performance.
Whether you’re an experienced investor or a novice investor with only 3 stocks so far (Apple, Google, Facebook – duh!), one good strategy to always employ is diversifying your portfolio. We bring you three sectors to look out for in 2014 that may help you to do just that.
2013 was a great year for social trading and an even better year for TradeHero. We now offer stocks from over 28 stock exchanges, a marked improvement from the 8 we started out with. That’s a total of over 140,000 stocks you can now trade on TradeHero. We have also seen $270,000,000,000 worth of trades completed in the year.
It is indeed a year worth sharing about and what better way to do this than with an infographic! Read on to find out more as we start the year looking back at our year-in-review for 2013.
On 6 Dec, 2013, Bank of America released a report on their positive hypothesis of Bitcoin becoming “a major means of payment for e-commerce” and “a serious competitor to traditional money transfer providers.” Above all, the report illuminates the current view of Bitcoin as a currency and the various facets of the market as perceived by investors and enthusiasts.
As you take your first step in your decision to enter the stock-trading arena, it is now time to decide what type of trader you may be so as to adapt the correct strategy.
Although we have used the names, traders and investors interchangeable in some of our previous articles, they are two very different roles. While they may both be participating in the same marketplace, they have very different strategies.
Let us better clarify these terms by defining the broad categories of traders that most people fall into.
We know our users love our product as much as we do. TradeHero has been ranked the no.1 finance app in 79 countries and we thank every user for their support and feedback.
TradeHero is a social network for the community of traders worldwide and we think we should build the app the same way, socially. An app that is built for traders by traders. We have heard your suggestions, we really have. We know the features that you really liked and those which needed a little polishing.
We are improving some features and looking forward to implementing newer features that many of you are excited about. As we continue to improve TradeHero, we want to know what you think about our app. We want to build a product that we know you’ll love to use. Being everything to everyone is, as they say, the best way to be nothing to no one.
Our focus is clear, to create a community of global traders helping each other out by following and receiving notifications when others trade. The essence of social trading on a mobile platform is to know what other traders are thinking and acting on an immediate basis.

At TradeHero, we find our users to be skewed towards a younger demographic. Many of whom are eager to learn the know-hows of trading. We have received queries from them on how and where to start learning the tricks of the trade. In most cases, these users are not just looking for overnight success in the stock markets, but rather a better understanding of trading in the financial markets.
