Built by traders, for traders.
Termimal started the way most good things do — with frustration. In early 2022, Alex, Marcus, and Yusuf were active in the same online trading community, complaining about the same things: charts that seized during market open, alerts that fired five minutes too late, platforms that looked untouched since 2008, and no single place to see the global picture without toggling between six tabs.
Marcus ran the numbers and the conclusion was clear: the tools that hedge funds used daily — fast data, clean charts, real-time screening — were technically achievable for any platform. The barrier was not capability, it was that no one had bothered to build it with the individual trader in mind.
So they built it themselves. Marcus handled the algorithmic architecture — drawing on his quantitative finance research at Sorbonne to design the screening engine and alert models. Alex shaped the product around actual trading workflows. Yusuf made sure none of it looked or felt like enterprise software from another era.
They launched from Helsinki in 2022 with a waiting list of traders who had been following their progress. The response confirmed what they had suspected: people were hungry for a platform that respected their intelligence and their time.
Today, Termimal is used by thousands of traders across 60 countries. The team has grown, but the founding principle has not: the best trading tools should be available to everyone.
