Public profile and shared P&L

Create a public trader profile, and share the result of a position as a link anyone can open.

Doxa has two ways to show something about your trading to other people: a public profile and a shared P&L card. Both are opt-in. Neither is created for you.

A public profile lives at /u/your-handle. Anyone with the link can open it, signed in or not.

  1. Open Settings from your profile menu in the header, then the Profile tab.
  2. Choose a Handle and press Create profile. A handle is 3 to 20 characters: letters, numbers and underscores. If it is taken, you will be told.
  3. Optionally add a Display name and a Bio, then press Save.
  4. Turn on Public profile to publish it.

Profiles are private by default. Until you turn on Public profile, nobody can find yours by handle or search. Turn it off again at any time to hide it.

  • Your display name or handle, your bio, and when you joined.
  • A Trading summary with your volume, number of trades and number of markets, and your 10 most recent trades, once you have traded.

Your balance and positions are not shown.

A missing profile and a private one look the same to a visitor: Profile not found.

On a profile, a signed-in visitor sees a message button. In the Profile tab you control whether you accept new messages: Open to new messages turns your inbox on or off, and Message price lets you set what someone pays to start a conversation, or choose Free. Visitors who are not signed in see Sign in to message or track this trader.

You can turn any position into a card showing its result.

  1. Open Portfolio and go to My Positions.
  2. Press the share icon in the Share column of the position. It appears on open positions and on closed ones.
  3. Doxa builds the card. Press Copy to copy the link, or Share to use your device’s share sheet. On a browser without one, Share copies the link instead.

If the card cannot be built, you will see Could not build the share card for this position.

The card shows the market, the outcome you hold, your entry price, the current price (or exit price once closed), and your profit or loss in dollars and percent. It does not show your name, wallet or account.

Anyone with the link can open it without signing in. They see the card and an Open Doxa button that takes them to that market.

The link includes your referral code, so someone who signs up from it is credited to you. See Rewards and referrals.

Pressing share again on the same position refreshes the card with the latest figures. The link stays the same.

If a link no longer works, the page says This link has expired and The shared position is no longer available.
