How to buy a single share

In this guide, you'll learn how to buy a single share on UTEX.

Written by Sergei (CPO at UTEX.io)

1. Choose a tariff

You can buy a single share only on the Standard tariff. To select it:

  1. Click on your balance

  2. Go to the Trading Tariffs

  3. Select Standard

If you haven't made any trades today, the tariff updates right away. If you have — it takes effect from the next trading day.

2. Fund your account

By card

You can fund your UTEX account with a bank card through a partner. Your currency is automatically converted to USDT during the deposit.

USDT is a digital dollar — its price always stays close to $1. You send money on the provider's website, and they credit USDT to your UTEX account.

Open the deposit form, select your currency, and follow the instructions on the screen.

With crypto

In the deposit form, select Via blockchain and click the network, for example, USDT.

Choose a coin from the list — Tether (USDT), USDC, Bitcoin, Ethereum, Litecoin, and others are available. Choose a network. For USDT, for example, that's TRC-20 (Tron network), ERC-20, TON, or SOL.

An address and QR code will appear. Click Copy and send the coins to that address.

3. Find the stock

Via search

If you already know which instrument you want to buy.

  • Click the Search bar at the top of the screen

  • Start typing the company name or ticker, for example, Coca-Cola or KO — the search window will open.

4. Buy a share

On the stock's page:

  1. Select a market order — an order to buy (or sell) shares right now at the best price on the market.

  2. In the Amount field, enter 1.

  3. The Price field fills in automatically, and the Total field shows the purchase amount — in this case, the price of one share, for example, ~$89 for KO.

  4. Click Buy.

Done — you've bought a share of Coca-Cola.

💡If the terminal feels overwhelming, try the simple version of UTEX: Stocks, Margin → Exchange • Simple. The Simple version keeps only the essentials: instrument lists, campaign news, charts, and orders. You can switch back to the full terminal anytime: Stocks, Margin → Exchange • Pro.

On UTEX, leverage kicks in automatically whenever your order amount exceeds your balance, so if you don't want to use leverage, make sure your account has enough funds to cover the purchase.

If the price of a single share is higher than your balance, the trade will go through with leverage — you'll borrow part of the amount from UTEX. If you hold the stock for more than one day, the platform will charge a fee for it — keep that in mind in your strategy. Without leverage, there's no overnight fee.

Where to view your purchased stocks

Open the Positions tab at the bottom of the screen. A row with your stock will appear there:

  • Amount — how many shares you're holding

  • Av. Price — the price you bought at

  • Cur. Price — what the stock is worth now

  • Unr. PnL — how much you've made or lost so far
