The basics

What is EasyTrade?

A free game that lets you play the stock market with virtual Points on real, live prices. You pick stocks in a daily contest, your score is how those stocks actually moved, and you climb the boards. No real money is ever used and no real order is ever placed.

How do I get started?

Get EasyTrade from Google Play, or play it right here in your browser, then sign up in seconds with Apple, Google or email. You start with 200 Points and 2 free practice runs, and a short walkthrough shows you how a round works.

How much does it cost?

Nothing. EasyTrade is free to download and free to play on Android and on the web, and there is nothing to buy inside it.

Playing a contest

How does the daily contest work?

Each market runs one contest a day. You pick exactly 3 different companies, call each one UP or DOWN, and set what share of your entry rides on each — between 10% and 60%, adding up to 100%. Entry costs 50 Points, charged once for the day.

When can I enter?

The entry window opens after the previous session closes and shuts at the next opening bell, so you are always picking for a session that has not started yet. You can change your picks as often as you like until the bell, at no extra cost.

How is my score calculated?

It is the weighted return of your three picks, with your UP or DOWN call applied to each. 50% on a pick that moved +2%, 30% on one that moved +5% and 20% on one that moved −1% gives +2.3%. Prices are real: your baseline is the session's real open and your result is its real close.

How do the leaderboards and leagues work?

Today, this week and this month cover your market; the all-time board is your season standing. Rank is decided by return percentage — never by Points or how much you play. One season point is one percentage point of a winning day, and those points move you through Bronze, Silver, Gold, Platinum and Elite.

Can I play with other people?

Yes. Join or create a clan of up to five players in your market — every member's daily result adds to the clan's points. There is also a community feed for posting your take, and analyst Opinions that show the reasoning behind an idea.

Points and prizes

Where do prizes come from?

From the entry fees of that same contest. Every fee collected that day goes into that market's pool — 70% is paid out that day, 20% is held for the weekly board and 10% for the monthly board. A contest never pays out more Points than its players put in, so prizes grow with the field.

What are Points, and can I buy them?

Points are the in-game currency: they pay your contest entry and buy avatars. You earn them by playing — daily check-in, the 7-day reward ladder, quizzes, Learn lessons, streaks, invites and achievements. They cannot be bought with real money, cannot be cashed out, and have no value outside the app.

Learning and Shaheen

What is there to learn?

Ten courses across three levels, four short lessons in each, and every lesson pays Points the first time you finish it. Courses end in a quiz, and higher levels unlock as you complete the ones below.

Who is Shaheen?

EasyTrade's in-app market assistant. Ask it to explain market terms, sectors or general concepts in plain language. Shaheen is an AI, it can be wrong, and its answers are educational — never investment advice.

Money and trust

Is this real trading? Will I lose real money?

No. EasyTrade is a 100% simulation. No order is ever sent to a market, nothing of yours is ever debited, and there is nothing at risk — ever.

Is EasyTrade a brokerage, or does it give advice?

Neither. EasyTrade is not a brokerage, not an order-execution platform, and not a bank or wallet — it is an educational and entertainment app operated by Mubasher. Nothing in it, including prices, news, Learn, Opinions and Shaheen, is a recommendation to buy, sell or hold anything.
