Read full descriptionHide full description
Alpha is a social network for investors. Build simulated portfolios on real market data, publish the thinking behind your trades, and follow the people whose calls hold up over time. BUILD A PORTFOLIO Open simulated portfolios and trade stocks and crypto at live market prices. No brokerage account and no money at risk — only your strategy, measured honestly. PUBLISH TRADE IDEAS Post an idea together with the reasoning behind it, with or without placing the trade. Ideas are timestamped, so a track record is earned rather than claimed. FOLLOW WHAT WORKS Leaderboards rank portfolios and investors on results. Alpha scores reflect performance, not follower counts — a high score is a solid signal that someone is either an excellent investor or a very lucky one. TRACK THE MARKET Keep a watchlist of the tickers you care about, set price alerts, and get notified when something moves. COMPETE IN SEASONS Join timed seasons and tournaments, climb the standings against the rest of the network, and collect prizes for finishing near the top. DISCUSS AND LEARN Comment on ideas, follow investors worth learning from, and report or block anything that does not belong. Alpha is for simulation and discussion. It does not place real brokerage orders, and nothing in the app is investment advice.
