PaperTrade is a simulated ("paper") trading platform created solely to help people — especially kids and teens — learn how investing works, in a risk-free environment. It is not a real brokerage, does not execute real trades, and does not hold, transfer, or manage real money or real securities of any kind.
All "cash," account balances, and dollar-like figures shown in PaperTrade are a fictional currency called Ferrobits (Fe), named after WASP-76 b, a real exoplanet famous for literally raining molten iron. Ferrobits have no real-world monetary value whatsoever. They cannot be redeemed, exchanged, withdrawn, transferred, gifted, or converted into U.S. dollars, any other real-world currency, cryptocurrency, goods, or services, under any circumstances. Your Ferrobits balance is simply a score for practicing investing skills.
Nothing on PaperTrade — including stock prices, company descriptions, AI-generated summaries, "risks," "historical context," "questions to consider," news articles, or any other content — is investment, financial, tax, or legal advice, and none of it should be relied upon when making real-world financial decisions. Before investing real money, please talk to a licensed financial advisor and do your own research.
PaperTrade displays publicly available market data (such as stock prices, company names, and business descriptions) for educational purposes only. PaperTrade is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by any of the companies whose stocks, names, or logos may appear on this platform. All trademarks, company names, and logos belong to their respective owners. Market data may be delayed, incomplete, simulated, or inaccurate, and PaperTrade makes no guarantee about its accuracy or timeliness.
If you are under 18, please review PaperTrade with a parent or guardian before creating an account. By creating an account, you (or your parent/guardian, on your behalf) confirm that you understand this is a learning tool, not a real trading or brokerage service.
PaperTrade is provided "as is," with no warranties of any kind. To the fullest extent permitted by law, PaperTrade and its creator are not responsible for any losses, damages, or claims arising from your use of this platform, including any confusion about the nature of Ferrobits or reliance on any content shown here.
These terms may be updated from time to time. Continuing to use PaperTrade after changes are posted means you accept the updated terms.

cash balance is left untouched since these are historical trades, not new ones.
