Frequently Asked Questions
How Investment Bets paper trading, scoring, and pricing work.
- Is Investment Bets real-money trading?
- No. Investment Bets is a paper-trading app. It tracks long and short market calls for comparison and does not place real brokerage orders.
- How are entry prices calculated?
- Investment Bets fetches entry and exit prices server-side from market data when a user opens or closes a paper-trading bet. Users cannot submit their own prices.
- How are leaderboard scores compared?
- Leaderboards compare the sum of closed-trade percentage gains, so performance is ranked by return rather than account size.
- How many bets can be open at once?
- Every bet takes up one fixed slot of exposure capacity, and each user has ten slots, so at most ten bets can be active at the same time.
- What happens when a bet reaches its expiry date?
- Every bet has an expiry date. If it is still open on that date, the system closes it automatically at the server-fetched market price.
- Does Investment Bets cost anything?
- Accounts are free. Optional paid upgrades through Stripe increase how many traders you can follow; they do not affect bet mechanics or scoring.
