Candella Copytrade

CASE 01Real shipped interface
16 brokeragesONE CONNECTED EXECUTION NETWORK
90% under ½ secMEASURED LEAD-TO-FOLLOWER ROUTING

FINANCIAL INFRASTRUCTURE

One trade.
Sixteen brokerages.

A real-money trading system that mirrors a lead trader across connected brokerage accounts while keeping risk and every execution visible.

View live sitecandella.dev

The need

Let a follower mirror a live human trader into their own brokerage account without hiding the risk, latency, or execution quality involved.

The difficult part

Every broker behaves differently. Orders have to survive networks, acknowledgements, slippage, position sizing, failed connections, and each user’s risk limits.

What we built

The public product, broker engine, risk controls, payments, account connections, and reporting operate as one system. The measured routing sequence is also the product story.

What continues

Execution is monitored and the platform is extended as broker behavior, credentials, compliance needs, and product requirements change.

What we owned

  • Product and interface design
  • Broker execution architecture
  • Payments and account systems
  • Monitoring and analytics

7 adaptive drillsDIFFICULTY CHANGES WITH PERFORMANCE
5 domainsONE COMPARABLE MIND INDEX

ADAPTIVE PRODUCT

A score that
learns with you.

An adaptive cognitive-training product where drills, ratings, integrity checks, and the surrounding experience work as one coherent system.

View live sitemindlsn.com

The need

Turn short cognitive drills into a long-running, understandable measure of improvement without making the product feel clinical or over-gamified.

The difficult part

A score is useful only when difficulty adapts, performance remains comparable, and obvious shortcuts do not distort the result.

What we built

Each game has its own ELO behavior. Those ratings roll into a weighted Mind Index, supported by integrity checks and a calm editorial interface.

What continues

The product is developed collaboratively as new drills, rating behavior, and research questions are introduced.

What we owned

  • Website and product design
  • Adaptive ELO architecture
  • Anti-cheat systems
  • Collaborative product development

ECOMMERCE

From site builder
to commerce system.

View live sitethesparklingshoe.com

The need

Give handmade pointe accessories enough visual space to explain what they do, while making the storefront easier for dancers to browse and buy from.

The difficult part

Product discovery, mobile shopping, catalog management, checkout, analytics, and future wholesale needs had to be considered together.

What we built

The new Shopify experience pairs product photography with direct education and gives the business a commerce platform it can continue operating.

What continues

The relationship extends beyond launch into analytics, product presentation, and social growth support.

What we owned

  • Squarespace to Shopify migration
  • Website and product design
  • Mobile commerce
  • Analytics and social growth
