Buying and selling

Finding something to trade

Use search to look up any stock or crypto by name or ticker. Open a result to see its price, a chart, and Buy / Sell.

Placing a buy

  1. Open a ticker and tap Buy.
  2. Enter an amount — switch between dollars and shares. Fractional shares are supported, so $50 of a $900 stock is fine.
  3. Choose which portfolio to buy from.
  4. Review and confirm.

Your average cost updates automatically when you buy more of something you already hold.

Selling

Tap Sell on a holding, enter dollars or shares, and confirm. Your realized profit or loss — the difference between your average cost and the sale price — is recorded on the trade.

Prices and market data

Prices track real markets. Crypto prices update around the clock; stock prices update during their market's trading hours. Outside those hours you can still buy and sell — the trade uses the most recent available price, which is marked as such.

It's paper money — you can't lose anything real, so experiment freely.
