What is a Stock?

A stock is a type of investment that represents an ownership share in a company.

How do I buy stocks?

  2. Go to “Trade”

  3. You can choose a stock from the Watchlist or use our “Search” tool

  4. Tap on "Buy"

  5. Add the amount in USD or in shares for which you want to buy. If you’d like to order in shares, tap on the drop-down menu that says "USD" and choose "Shares"

  6. Tap on "Review" to see the order summary

  7. Then tap on "Confirm Buy"

Your market order is now created.
