Trade Links (Fast Integration)

Best for: blogs, newsletters, research providers, creator communities, Discord servers, and any product that wants to add trading without backend integration work.

Trade Links are the fastest way to turn your investing content into an actionable trading experience.

If your strength is:

• publishing trade ideas
• sharing due diligence
• running a paid investing community
• writing newsletters
• building watchlists and research tools

...you probably don't want to spend months building brokerage integrations and trading UIs. Trade Links let you skip all of that and still offer a real trading experience to your users.

All you need to do is share a link with the ticker and trade details (buy/sell, amount, order type, etc.), and your users open a prefilled trading page on Trade It. They can sign up, connect a brokerage, and place the trade in seconds.

This is the "start today" path.

Example 1: Simple Buy Order
