The Story of Our Project

Bluequbit - The beginnings of a project by enthusiasts

The story begins with a small group of friends who shared the same frustration: having to open five tabs, three applications, and multiple spreadsheets to know the status of their portfolio. Each had their own system: screenshots, handwritten notes, more or less updated Excel files. The result: a confused vision, urgent decisions, and the constant feeling of chasing information.
A first prototype emerged as a makeshift dashboard, connected to a few trading accounts. It was neither pretty nor perfectly stable, but it already allowed answering a simple question: “What is my overall risk right now?”. It wasn't yet a product, just an in-house tool. However, as soon as it was shared with other investors, it became clear that it met a real need.
This handcrafted phase lasted longer than one might imagine. It was necessary to learn to connect data streams, manage errors, and display information without saturating the screen. Little by little, functionalities were added: historical visibility, performance tracking, highlighting the most sensitive positions, without ever losing sight of the initial objective: to make decisions more conscious, not more impulsive.

Bluequbit Platform - From internal tool to complete platform

The transition from a private tool to a solution open to other users was a key moment. It was no longer enough for the system to work “reasonably well” for a handful of accounts. It had to be made robust, clear, documented, capable of supporting very different profiles, from the curious novice to the seasoned investor.
This transformation involved rethinking the technical architecture: securing connections, strengthening backups, structuring the code to be maintainable over time. The team grew with the arrival of additional developers, cloud infrastructure specialists, and analysts capable of translating investor needs into concrete functionalities. Each new version was tested across varied market scenarios, with periods of high volatility, calm phases, and prolonged trend sequences.
Concurrently, work on the interface was necessary. A powerful but unreadable tool remains useless. Screens were organized around simple questions: “What's happening in my portfolio?”, “Where are my main risks located?”, “What recent events have changed the situation?”. This logic guided the complete redesign, prioritizing readability, information hierarchy, and consistency across different modules.

Bluequbit Trading - Structuring decision-making in the markets

One of the strong drivers in the project's evolution has been the desire to combat impulsive decisions. Many investors know this reflex: buying or selling under the effect of a sudden movement, a comment on social networks, or a misinterpreted macroeconomic announcement. The tool was therefore designed to encourage preparation rather than reaction.
Concretely, this translates into pre-established scenarios: defining in advance the conditions for entering an asset, where to place a protection level, when to reduce or completely exit a position. The analysis modules don't just show graphs; they invite reflection on the “plan” before volatility escalates. The investor retains control but benefits from a framework that reminds them of the rules they themselves have set.
The project also integrated portfolio-wide analysis functionalities. Instead of looking at each position in isolation, the user sees their exposure by asset class, region, currency, or theme. This helps avoid certain unintentional concentrations, which are frequent when positions are accumulated without placing them in a global context.

Bluequbit Canada - Building a framework tailored for local investors

Even though the platform may appeal to users from multiple regions, particular attention has been paid to the needs of Canada-based investors. In practice, this means considering the local currency, deposit habits, working hours, but also the regulatory framework applicable to financial services.
Support has been structured to respond in French and English, with an understanding of local banking specificities. Screens display balances in a familiar currency, reports are written in clear language, and documentation emphasizes practical aspects directly concerning residents of the country.
This local anchoring is not limited to the interface. It is reflected in the way we communicate with users: detailed explanations of risks, reminders of good diversification practices, highlighting the importance of a progressive approach rather than sudden and excessive commitments. The goal is to provide long-term support, not to push for action at all costs.

Bluequbit Trading Platform - Towards the next steps of the project

The project's history is not static. Each new wave of users brings its share of suggestions, constructive criticism, and unexpected use cases. Some ask for more technical indicators, others prefer simplified reports, some want more automation tools, others insist on the need to retain a significant degree of manual control.
The next steps are precisely built upon this diversity. The team is working on paths better suited for beginner profiles, with contextual explanations, concrete examples, and clear warnings about risks. In parallel, more advanced functions continue to be developed for users who wish to go further in analysis or in structuring their strategies.
In all cases, the line remains the same: prioritizing quality over quantity. It's not about stacking features for the sake of it, but about strengthening a foundation that truly helps to better understand what one is doing in the markets, without reducing them to a few overly simple promises.
