About the work
We are building a dataset of real retail trading behavior: complete brokerage trade histories, paired with the trader's own explanation of how they trade and why they made their biggest decisions.
This is a one-time task, paid a flat $400 on completion.
Who we are looking for
Location: United States only.
Trading experience: at least 2 years of active trading on your own account, and at least 1,000 trades over that period (about 2 per trading day).
Instruments: stocks; options count too.
Broker: your account is with a U.S. retail broker, such as Robinhood, Schwab, Fidelity, E*TRADE, Webull or Interactive Brokers.
Background: any. No minimum education and any field of study, from current college students to graduate-degree holders. Non-finance professionals, finance professionals and full-time traders all qualify. Current or former professional traders can take part using their own personal account only.
Age: 18 or older.
Willing to share your complete brokerage trade history, with no trades removed.
Not a fit
Fewer than 2 years of history, or fewer than 1,000 trades
Trading only through an account you don't own, such as a managed, employer or prop-firm account
Trading mostly crypto or futures
