The Strategy Explorer is the central analysis and profile module of copytrader i/o. It condenses real trading activities into structured profile information and makes visible how an approach works over time - not just how it looks in the result. The explorer works with several levels of abstraction and presentation. Users can start with basic information and gradually work their way up to more detailed views, through to comprehensive analytical evaluations, in-depth data forensics and the identification of recurring patterns. Strategy Explorer uses AI-supported pattern recognition and contextual processing to support the analysis of complex trends. This creates comprehensible access to performance, risk and behavioral characteristics, which enables both a quick overview and in-depth research.

The strategy board is a clearly arranged catalog and presentation area for strategies and players on copytrader i/o. It offers all users a structured entry point to discover, classify and compare different trading approaches. The focus is on so-called strategy cards. These mini-profiles summarize the key features of an approach at a glance and serve as a starting point for further research, for example for in-depth access to the Strategy Explorer. A large number of filter and selection options make it possible to narrow down the displayed spectrum according to overarching criteria and efficiently access individual areas of interest. The strategy board provides orientation and visibility and acts as a central entry point for further analysis.

The Agnostic Pattern Trail forms the basis for the Pattern Insights on copytrader i/o. It works in the background and follows trading activities over longer periods of time by tracing decisions, risk behavior and their interactions in a structured manner. The focus is not on the individual event, but on the course of events. By looking at activities not in isolation but in relation to each other, traces are created from which recurring patterns can be derived. These patterns result from the interplay of time, behavior and context - not from pre-defined assumptions. The Agnostic Pattern Trail organizes patterns in such a way that they can be used for further analysis. It creates a basis on which correlations can become visible without simplifying or pre-interpreting them.

The Data Integrity Layer is a central process level within Tecco that analyzes data streams and prepares them in a structured manner for further processing and distribution. It forms a fundamental basis for the processing of trading and market data on copytrader i/o. The Data Integrity Layer works in the background and ensures that raw data is converted into a consistent, traceable and reliable form. To this end, data from different sources is recorded, checked, harmonized and - where necessary - cleansed. Blurriness, inconsistencies or breaks are not concealed, but made visible and systematically classified before further information is generated. In this way, the Data Integrity Layer creates the prerequisite for turning raw material into interpretable data. It increases transparency, comparability and trust and forms the basis for all downstream analysis and presentation levels within the Tecco framework.

The Advanced Event Broadcaster (AEB) provides the technical basis via which editorially oriented signal publishers (SIP) can communicate event-based information - such as price-based signals - to defined recipient groups in a targeted manner. The AEB acts as a cross-distributor and cross-channel process level, while the content control lies with the respective signal publisher. Based on a price data feed, signals can be created, bundled and played out to specific target groups, for example to subscribers of information services, members of investment groups or editorial distributors. Distribution can take place via various channels, including text messaging services, messengers, event streams, push notifications or email. The technology on which AEB is based enables signal publishers to link structured market signals with editorial content and pass them on in a contextualized manner. The interaction between AEB and SIP thus supports information offerings that focus on classification, traceability and editorial responsibility.

Interactive Portfolio Tracker (IPT)

The Interactive Portfolio Tracker is based on the concept of classic model portfolios. While simple variants are based on a "don't touch" principle, the IPT breaks down familiar limitations. Depending on requirements, it fulfills several functions. For example, it can be used as a central work and analysis interface for structured portfolio viewing, contextualized evaluation and further interaction within copytrader i/o. If there is an interface to a financial service provider, the entire investment portfolio of a trading strategy can be transferred to an IPT grid with just one click. The IPT grids themselves can be integrated into blogs or websites depending on the user status. Ideal for trading groups and forums.

In contrast to static model portfolios, the tracker is a dynamic desk from which a variety of analytical and event-related activities can be initiated. Individual portfolio positions are not displayed in isolation, but act as active anchor points that enable direct access to in-depth tools. The integrated additional functions include in particular the seamless linking with technical analysis tools. Technical indicators, chart views and period-related evaluations can be called up directly from the respective position without leaving the portfolio context. If required, the entire portfolio and individual positions can be evaluated in near real time. This allows market movements, weighting changes and value developments to be classified according to the situation without suggesting the need for permanent real-time monitoring.

For activated users, the Interactive Portfolio Tracker also represents the central entry point to the Advanced Event Broadcaster. Relevant events, signals or status-changing information are made visible directly in the portfolio context and enable an immediate reaction or in-depth analysis. In this form, the module functions not only as a mapping logic for portfolio structures, but also as an operational control center that combines analysis, monitoring and event reference in a consistent interface.

The Activity Recognition Ledger (ARL) is an integrated recognition mechanism of the copytrader i/o platform. It rewards documented trading activity in the form of an internal, virtual platform currency - without qualitative evaluation of individual transactions. For each published transaction, the user is credited with a recognition unit (coin) (loyalty coin mining). The basic logic is deliberately kept linear: 1 transaction corresponds to 1 coin. The coins are created exclusively through traceable activity and are recorded centrally. The ARL distinguishes between real money and virtual environments. Real money transactions are taken into account without a limit. Transactions in virtual environments are subject to a daily limit of one coin per day in order to recognize learning and test activity without equating real trading activity. The coins represent a clearly defined reference value (e.g. €15 ≙ 150 coins) and can be exchanged for virtual goods within the platform. The ARL measures neither success nor returns. It makes commitment visible - and rewards documentation instead of self-promotion.

The results of a trading strategy are often viewed in isolation. However, this perspective falls short. Because behind every trading system there is a person, a team of developers or an organization whose experience, way of thinking and working approach contribute significantly to the development of the strategy. 

copytrader i/o deliberately takes up this connection and, in addition to the strategy profiles, creates space for a personal classification. Additional presentation and information levels give developers the opportunity to introduce themselves beyond pure key figures. 

Strategy and person are thus understood as two independent but interlinked levels of consideration. The aim is to enable interested parties to make a more informed assessment - not only on the basis of results, but also with regard to the person behind the system.

Strategy diaries are the internal trading journal within copytrader i/o. They are used for the personal documentation of thoughts, hypotheses, decision assumptions and reflections that accompany a strategy - regardless of whether these are later confirmed or discarded.

Strategy diaries are not publicly accessible and are reserved exclusively for the strategy developer. They fulfill the function of a professional work journal and help to record decision-making processes in a comprehensible manner - beyond pure key figures or performance curves. 

Documentation can include: 

• Market expectations before a decision 
• Reasons for increasing or decreasing positions 
• Deviations from the original setup 
• Emotional or operational influencing factors 
• Later reflections ("What went differently than expected?") 

The focus is not on external presentation, but on self-control, learning curves and discipline. Strategy diaries are therefore a tool for quality assurance of your own decision-making logic.

Virtual recognition and engagement module

1. Basic idea & classification

Loyalty Coin Miners refer to a function within the copytrader i/o platform that enables Strategy Publishers to receive virtual recognition units ("copytrader i/o Coins") for each published transaction. The coins do not represent any remuneration, performance share or monetary claim, but function as virtual exchange goods within a closed platform ecosystem. Their purpose is to reward activity, transparency and compliance with the rules, not income. 

2. Dependence on the strategy setup 

The activation of Loyalty Coin Miners is not a blanket process, but is linked to defined strategy parameters. These are decisive in particular Publication of structured transaction data Adherence to a consistent strategy setup Complete documentation (entry, exit, position size, timestamp) Platform-compliant behavior (no manipulation, no post-processing) The coins are awarded exclusively for published transactions, regardless of their outcome. Profit or loss has no influence on the number of coins awarded. 

Central idea: 
:: Disclosure is rewarded - not the result. 

3. Character of the copytrader i/o Coins 

The copytrader i/o Coins are: 

• purely virtual 
• not tradable outside the platform 
• not redeemable 
• not convertible into fiat or cryptocurrencies 

They have no market value, but only a functional utility value within defined platform modules. 

4. Possible uses of the coins 

Collected coins can be used within the copytrader i/o ecosystem, in particular: 

a) copytrader i/o -Virtual Exchange 

• Activation or expansion of virtual trading cards 
• Personalization and display options 
• Access to curated formats or collections 

b) copytrader i/o Mall / Marketplace 

• Acquisition of virtual assets 
• Access to additional analysis or visualization functions
• Redemption of discounts on selected platform products or partner offers 

All redemptions are non-financial and within clearly defined usage limits. 

5. Delimitation & Compliance framework 

The Loyalty Coin Miners: 

• do not constitute consideration for performance 
• do not create an incentive for imitation or real-money trading 
• do not establish a claim to future benefits 
• do not replace remuneration, commission or profit-sharing 
• are not a reward system in the regulatory sense 

They are an integral part of a reputation and engagement concept, not a monetary incentive model. 

6. Objectives from a platform perspective 

With the Loyalty Coin Miners, copytrader i/o pursues the following objectives: 

• Promoting consistent and transparent publication
• Reducing show trading and selective presentation of results 
• Strengthening data quality for analysis and comparison purposes 
• Building a long-term, trust-based ecosystem 
• Separating visibility and financial incentive

Strategy Journey enables strategy developers to publicly accompany their strategy as a comprehensible investment story. Not as a marketing format, but as an editorially structured level of transparency. 

While figures show what happened, Strategy Journey explains why. Strategy developers consciously take on the role of editor of their own strategy development and make selected thoughts, classifications and milestones publicly accessible. 

• Typical contents of a Strategy Journey can be: 
• strategic guiding principles and long-term assumptions 
• market phase classifications and regime changes 
• conscious non-decisions adjustments to trading logic 
• reviews of critical phases 

Storytelling is not a substitute for performance data, but a qualitative supplement that provides context, reduces bias and helps observers to better categorize decisions - without imitating or copying them.
