FAQ
ALL QUESTIONS AND ANSWERSWhat do I need to get started?
Request access with the email tied to your school or Google sign-in. An officer reviews each request. Once the account is open you can join a fund and place a paper trade in minutes. A short placement quiz suggests a fund that fits how you think about risk; it is a compass, not a gate.
What markets can I trade?
US listed equities and ETFs on live market data. Capital is simulated on the club's internal engine; this is not a live brokerage order. Which names and portfolios you can use follows the fund rules your club sets. Ask your club lead which instruments your portfolio allows.
Who is this for?
Learners, student-managed investment funds, and faculty who need fund rules, a guardrail, and a reason on every trade. It is built for education and a verifiable record, not for live brokerage.
Can I really add this to my resume or share it with employers?
Yes, as a record you control. Every position is backed by a logged thesis, and you choose what goes public, module by module. You can share that record with faculty and on an application. Structured, consented access for hiring teams is on the roadmap, and we will not claim it before it ships.
How do you prevent people from gaming the system?
The reasoning is logged before the trade, not after. Changes are timestamped and visible; there is no silent edit and no silent erase. One account per person, tied to a school or organization. Resets go through a sanctioned process and stay in the record.
What happens when I graduate?
You keep it. The record is yours, not the club's, and it stays portable after you leave.
Is it free for students?
Student access is arranged through your club or school, or as an individual plan. Individual accounts and club or semester plans are priced separately. We would rather quote the real number than publish an invented one, so ask your club lead or reach out for current plans.
Can my school or investment club create a group on the platform?
Yes. The platform is built for student-managed investment funds and clubs. A club lead or officer requests access, members join under that organization, and the portfolios, fund rules, and records stay with the club. Reach out through Request access and say you are standing up a club.
