Documentation FAQ
Does InvestGame execute real broker orders?
No. InvestGame does not route orders to live brokerages and it does not execute real-money trades. Every buy and sell action is simulated with virtual funds, so you can test ideas, evaluate entry and exit logic, and improve process quality before taking any live-market risk.
Can I practice both stock and crypto trading in one place?
Yes. InvestGame is built as a combined stock and crypto paper trading environment, allowing you to test multi-asset strategies in one interface. This makes it easier to compare behavior across market types and manage a single virtual portfolio during practice sessions.
Is this documentation suitable for classrooms?
Yes. The documentation is structured for education use cases, including multiplayer competition formats, virtual capital workflows, and consistent action definitions. Teachers and mentors can use these sections to explain how simulation-based learning works without exposing students to real-money execution.
Where should I start if I am new?
Start with the Introduction page for high-level context, then follow this documentation in order: game modes, trading actions, portfolio controls, and glossary terms. After that, create a free account, run a short solo practice cycle, and review your results before entering multiplayer challenges.
