Scalable Crypto Copy Trading MVP

I’m building a minimum-viable copy-trading platform that can comfortably handle at least 1,000 simultaneous users. Both spot and futures strategies are equally important to the service, so the trading engine must talk fluently to the Binance API for real-time execution, position mirroring, and retrieval of trade history.

Core functions I need working in the first release:
• Secure signup with email + password, backed by two-factor authentication to keep accounts safe.
• User-side binding of individual Binance API keys and secrets.
• Live copy trading for spot and futures, with configurable risk controls (percentage allocation, max drawdown, stop-copy toggles).
• An admin dashboard that lets me approve master traders, monitor system health, and view aggregated metrics.
• Simple MLM-style referral tracking so users can invite others and earn tiered rewards.
• Persistent trade history visible to followers and admins, stored efficiently so the database scales cleanly.

The stack is flexible, but whatever you choose must be robust enough for quick iteration and future mobile apps. I care most about seeing proof that you’ve tackled trading or FinTech projects before, so please highlight relevant experience when you reply. If you’ve already integrated Binance endpoints, rate limits, or managed scale-out architectures, mention that; code samples or links are welcome.

Acceptance criteria for this MVP:
1. A new user can create an account, pass 2FA, connect a Binance key, and start following a master trader in under five minutes.
2. Trades from the master reflect on the follower account within two seconds on testnet, five seconds max on mainnet.
3. Admin panel accurately shows active users, open positions, PnL, and referral statistics in real time.
4. System load-tests to 1,000 concurrent users with <250 ms API latency median.

Once the MVP is stable, I’ll open a separate phase for native mobile clients and additional exchanges, so think long-term maintainability. Looking forward to seeing how your past experience can turn this concept into a rock-solid product. Show More
