Technology in front, regulated infrastructure behind
Dolphin Trade Pro is a financial technology company serving investors who want orderly, systematic access to US markets — not a promise of easy returns.
We were founded on a simple observation: most retail investing products sit on top of opaque infrastructure. Clients rarely know which entity executes their order, who holds their shares, or what happens if the app disappears tomorrow. We built the opposite structure: a software layer with no ability to touch client assets, connected to a broker-dealer that is registered with the SEC, is a member of FINRA and SIPC, and issues the client's own statements.
That decision shapes everything else — from how we describe our fee (0.25% of assets under management per year) to the fact that we publish what our advisory mandates do not cover.

Forward-looking statements
Statements about future plans describe our intentions at the time of writing. They are not commitments, they depend on third-party providers such as Alpaca Securities LLC and on market conditions, and they may change or be withdrawn without notice.
Who runs the platform
Day-to-day operations, product and compliance sit with our internal team. External advisory mandates — macro strategy and risk modelling, and clearing and compliance oversight — are described, with their limits, on the leadership and advisory page.
