01Step 1: Join a challenge

  • Private — invite-only leagues with friends

Each challenge shows the entry fee (many are free), prize pool, number of players, and start time. Tap Enter to join.

02Step 2: Build your portfolio

Once you've joined, you'll be taken to the Draft screen. Here you:

  1. 1Browse the available stock universe (typically 30-40 NYSE stocks)
  2. 2Select 3-5 stocks you believe will outperform
  3. 3Set your allocation — how much of your virtual portfolio goes to each stock

You can reopen Edit picks anytime until the contest starts. Starting allocations lock at go-live; after that, trade live on the Trade tab. Research each stock's sector, market cap, 52-week range, and recent performance before locking in.

03Step 3: Watch the race live

When the challenge goes live, head to the Game screen. You'll see:

  • Race — live leaderboard and the field
  • Trade — buy, sell, limits, stop-loss, and take-profit while the contest is active
  • Field — what other players are holding

Standings shift as the market moves. A player in 1st at 10 AM might drop to 5th by noon — that's what makes it exciting.
