16.Community — shares, forum, mentorship, boards, sentiment

Public trade shares with slug URLs, threaded forum, mentor / mentee pairing, public / private symbol boards, and the live Reddit WSB + StockTwits sentiment feed wired into the per-symbol research dossier.

Shares — one trade, one URL

GET/POST /api/shares. Pick a trade from your Trades view → right-click → Share. A new shares row is created with a random slug; the share URL is /shared/{slug} (public, no auth). The shared view shows:

  • Trade summary — symbol, entry / exit, P&L, R-multiple, hold duration.
  • Chart with markers — entry / exit arrows on the OHLC bars around the trade.
  • Journal body — optional. The share creator toggles whether to include the per-trade journal.
  • Tags + setup.

The share is publishable / unpublishable per row, expirable (24h / 7d / 30d / never), and revocable. The slug is opaque (random 12-char alphanumeric) so URLs don't leak ID ordering.

Privacy: the share excludes account ID, account size, and absolute dollar P&L unless explicitly enabled. The default share carries R-multiple and % of account (anonymized).

Forum — threaded discussion

GET /api/forum/threads, GET /api/forum/threads/{id}/posts. A simple threaded forum: top-level threads with replies, tagged by symbol / category, markdown-rendered. Designed to be the destination for "let's talk about my shared trade" without becoming Twitter:

  • One-vote-per-post from authenticated users.
  • Sorting — newest, top this week, top this month.
  • Symbol filter — every post is taggable with a symbol; symbol filter is a primary search dimension.
  • Reply markdown — code fences, blockquotes, embedded trade shares (via slug URL).

In desktop mode the forum is a no-op (single-user); in web mode it's the social layer between users on the same hosted instance.

Mentorship

/api/mentorships. Mentors offer slots; mentees apply. Once paired:

  • Mentor sees mentee's shared trades — even private ones the mentee has flagged as "share with my mentor".
  • Mentor's annotations appear on the mentee's Trade Review form (step 04).
  • Scheduled check-ins — a per-pair calendar with notes.

The mentorship surface is opt-in per user; no automatic discovery without listing yourself as available.

Boards — public & private symbol boards

GET/POST /api/boards. A board is a long-running watchlist + chat-thread combo, scoped to a theme (e.g. "Solar & battery", "Earnings this week", "My swing book").

  • Symbols — pinned to the board; the board page shows mini-charts + recent catalysts / halts per symbol.
  • Posts — threaded discussion attached to the board, with optional symbol-scoped sub-threads.
  • Visibility — public (anyone with the slug), private (only you), shared (specific users).

Boards are intentionally more durable than forum threads; they're meant to be the long-running collaborative space.

Sentiment feed — Reddit WSB + StockTwits

  • /api/sentiment/feed — live feed of recent WSB posts + StockTwits messages.
  • /api/sentiment/ranked — symbols ranked by mention volume / unique-author count over the last N hours.
  • /api/sentiment/symbol/{sym} — per-symbol thread of recent mentions.
  • /api/sentiment/series/{sym} — time series of mention count + bullish/bearish classification.

WSB is polled every 60 s; StockTwits per-symbol every 60 s for the union of (your watchlists ∪ top-ranked tickers ∪ open positions). Bullish / bearish classification is a small fixed lexicon — not an LLM — so it's deterministic and free.

Crypto feed

Tangentially adjacent: /api/crypto/markets (CoinGecko top market caps), /api/crypto/global (global market dominance), /api/crypto/btc/chain (blockchain.com BTC chain stats — hashrate, difficulty, miner revenue). The Crypto tile renders the standard markets grid + a BTC chain panel. No live order-book; this is research-grade, not execution-grade.

Spirit The community surface is intentionally minimal. The goal is "small group of serious traders" — not "social network with a feed algorithm". No likes, no follow counts on the share page, no engagement metrics surfaced. Sort and filter; that's it.
