📚 100% educational simulation · Real market prices · iPhone and iPad · Live on the App Store

Learn to invest.
Together, with nothing at risk.

Start with $5,000 in virtual money and trade stocks, ETFs and crypto at the prices the market is actually showing, right now. Practice on your own for free. Then form a group with the people you'd rather learn with: everyone gets their own budget, the group grows it, and you compare, talk and compete along the way.

Solo

Practice on your own

A $5,000 portfolio that is yours alone, free forever. Buy and sell at live prices, watch your positions move with the market, and learn what a 3% day feels like before a real one costs you anything. It works offline too, with the last prices it saw.

Group

Learn with people you know

Up to eight friends, family or coworkers, each with their own $5,000. See everyone's positions in one group portfolio, talk trades in the chat, and climb the leaderboard. Growing the group grows everyone's budget, up to $15,000 each.

Your Portfolio

The mechanics of a real brokerage app, with pretend money. If Apple drops 3% today, it drops in TradeSocial too.

📈

Real Market Prices

Quotes come from a live market-data feed, cached and refreshed as you use the app. The number you buy at is the number the market is showing, not a stale close from last night.

🪙

Stocks, ETFs and Crypto

Search any listed stock or ETF, and crypto as USD pairs like BTC‑USD. Equities trade in shares, crypto in units, and every price is formatted the way a statement would show it.

🔎

Position Detail

Every holding gets a sparkline, Today's change, Total Return including what you already sold, and the fundamentals behind the ticker. Sort your list by name, value, daily change or gain.

🛒

Buy and Sell

Pick a symbol, a quantity and a side; the trade fills instantly at the market price and lands in your history. No order types to learn before you have learned what a position is.

🗞️

Activity Feed and Trade History

Everything you did, in order, with the price and the size. In a group, everyone's trades appear as cards in the same feed, so a strategy is visible while it is happening.

🔄

Start Over Whenever

Reset your solo portfolio from its menu and you are back to $5,000 with a clean slate. A blown-up practice account is the cheapest lesson in investing, and here it costs nothing to repeat.

🔔

Notifications That Teach

A trade executed, a milestone bonus landed, a budget running low: each one a notification that opens the right screen. Solo trades stay quiet; nobody needs to be told what they just did.

✈️

Works Offline

Your solo portfolio opens without a connection, with the last prices it saw and your sparklines intact. Group trading waits for a connection and tells you so, rather than guessing.

How It Works

No credit card, no brokerage account, no real money. Ever.

1

Sign In

With Apple, Google or an email address. Your $5,000 is waiting on the other side. Solo mode is free and stays free.

2

Trade

Search a symbol, buy some, watch it move. Sell when you think you should, and see whether you were right in Today's change and Total Return.

3

Form a Group

Create a group and hand out the invite code, or join one. Each member gets their own $5,000; nobody can spend anyone else's. Up to eight people, up to six groups.

4

Grow the Budget

Reach four members and everyone gets $2,500 more. Six, another $2,500. A full group of eight, $5,000 on top: $15,000 per member to learn with.

“Eight people, eight budgets, one leaderboard.”
No shared pool to raid, no single portfolio to argue over. Every member trades their own money and the group sees all of it, which is how an investment club learns from itself.

Groups: An Investment Club in Your Pocket

Family, friends, coworkers, a classroom. Everyone starts equal and the group finds out who was right.

👛

Independent Budgets

Every member has their own $5,000 and their own positions. One person's bad week is their own; the group's numbers are the sum of everyone's.

📊

Group Portfolio

One screen with the whole group's holdings, yours and theirs, with each member's name on their positions. Switch between your groups and your solo portfolio in a tap.

💬

Chat with Trade Cards

Talk in the group while you trade. Every buy and sell drops into the conversation as a card with the symbol, size and price, and the app posts when someone joins, leaves or is running low on cash.

🏆

Leaderboard and Analytics

Members ranked by what they have contributed to the group's performance, win rate once they have sold something, and the top contributors by dollars traded and share of the group's volume. Bragging rights come with receipts.

🎟️

Invite Codes

A group is joined by code, so it stays the people you invited. Groups hold up to eight members, and you can belong to up to six at once.

🛠️

Owner Controls

The member who created the group can rename it and remove people. Anyone can leave, and the chat records it.

MilestoneBonus to Every MemberEach Member Has
StartYour own $5,000$5,000
4 members+$2,500$7,500
6 members+$2,500$10,000
8 members, a full group+$5,000$15,000

Bonuses are virtual money added to every member's budget when the group reaches the size. A full group has $120,000 in play between eight people.

What is real, and what is simulated

The point of paper trading is that the prices are true and the consequences are not. Here is exactly where the line sits.

WhatReal?

What TradeSocial Is Not

It is not a brokerage, a bank or a financial adviser, and it is not regulated as one. No real money is ever deposited, traded or withdrawn, and nothing in the app is investment advice. Simulated fills are cleaner than real ones: real trading has spreads, commissions, slippage and delays, and it has the emotional weight of money that is actually yours.

The right mental model: TradeSocial teaches you what a position, a drawdown and a return feel like, at real prices, before you find out with real money.

It needs an account, because groups are people and people need to be told apart: sign in with Apple, Google or email, and delete the account from Settings whenever you like. Groups need a connection; the solo portfolio does not. Past simulation performance says nothing about real-world results. Talk to a licensed adviser before you invest real money.
