A group is a shared learning space where members invest with virtual money and learn together using real market data.
When you join a group, you get virtual funds that you can use only within that group. The trades you make count toward your own portfolio inside the group, but they also influence the group’s collective portfolio, which reflects everyone’s combined moves. Groups are a place to:
Share investment ideas
Post updates and questions
See what others are exploring
Learn by watching real decisions – not just theory
It’s investing education through conversation + action.
Your personal portfolio is your private trading space, and only you can see it. You start with $10K in virtual money, and you can earn more by completing lessons or placing successful trades. You can test strategies, experiment, and track your individual progress over time.
Your group portfolio is tied to each group you join. Every group gives you a fresh $10,000 to trade within that group. Your trades affect your balance in that group and contribute to the group’s collective portfolio, which reflects everyone’s combined decisions.
Yes, you can leave a group at any time.
When you leave:
Your virtual balance in that group is removed
Your trades no longer affect the group portfolio
If you decide to return:
You rejoin later, it’s like starting fresh, and you’ll get a new virtual balance.
Yes. You can join as many as you like.
Each group has its own virtual balance, so what you do in one group doesn’t affect the others. If you want to trade using a group’s balance, just make sure you’re on that group’s screen – that’s how your trades stay linked to the right account.
Other members can see your public activity, but not your full portfolio or returns.
For example, others may see:
The groups you are in
Posts or comments you share
Actions (like placing a trade)
They can’t see your account total or profits. This setup helps everyone learn from each other and find new ideas – without revealing personal results.
Yes. Anyone can create a group.
When you create a group, you can choose if it’s public or private (approval required), and decide who can post: members or only hosts.
No experience is required. Groups can be anything – a study circle, a space for friends to share strategies, or a community where you exchange insights. There is no limit to how many you create.
Absolutely. That’s what they are for.
Groups let you:
See how others think about investments
Learn from real strategies (and mistakes)
Ask questions and share your thinking
Get feedback and fresh perspectives
And yes, it’s way more fun than learning alone. Being part of a community keeps you consistent, curious, and motivated.
With the Trade feature, you can place and test different types of orders. For example, you can buy instantly at the current price with a market order, or set the price at which you are willing to buy using a limit order. It’s all done with virtual money, so you can practice safely, track your performance in $ and %, and build confidence before moving to real markets.
You earn more virtual cash by learning and completing exercises, which also gives you points (XPs) to track your progress. You can also sell stocks to free up cash if needed.
All trading examples are powered by AI and pulled from real-time stock market data, giving you a realistic and up-to-date learning experience.
Virtual coins are our in-app currency. You earn them by starting the app and engaging with learning activities. They let you simulate daily trading; each coin is symbolically valued at $1, so you can see how your investments might perform. Keep in mind, these coins are for practice only: they can’t be traded or cashed out, and there’s a daily cap on how many you can earn.
Yes! Whether you’re starting from scratch or sharpening your skills, the app covers crypto, forex, and options to help you build expertise and broaden your trading strategies.
Use the app daily to complete your 2 exercises (about 10 minutes total), make one trading decision daily, develop the habit of checking the stock market, and practice with virtual money to build confidence. Invite your friends to learn, compete, and have fun along the way.
Your daily quota includes 2 exercises, about 10 minutes a day, to help you absorb key concepts without feeling overwhelmed. Small steps, big progress!
Your progress is automatically saved, even offline. When you reconnect, it will sync seamlessly. For extra security, we recommend signing up with your email. This lets you safely transfer your progress across all your devices.
No, the app is designed to guide you through all exercises step by step, ensuring you build a solid foundation and don’t miss any key concepts needed to make informed decisions.
