How to trade stock reference markets

CryptoWorld includes US equity reference markets alongside crypto and commodity markets. Orders are recorded on the platform paper ledger; they are not sent to a stock exchange or broker.

What a stock reference market is

A stock reference market uses a public equity price as a reference for a platform paper order. The quote can be delayed, and the displayed market cap and volume come from public data. The platform uses the reference price to estimate a fill; it does not execute a real share trade.

Available markets

The stock list includes large US equities and ETFs such as AAPL, MSFT, NVDA, TSLA, AMZN, META, GOOGL, SPY, and QQQ. Availability can change, and market data may be unavailable outside trading hours.

Placing a paper stock order

1. Open Stocks trading.
2. Choose a stock or ETF from the market selector.
3. Select Buy to spend platform USDC, or Sell to reduce an existing platform holding.
4. Enter the USDC amount for a buy, or the share quantity for a sell.
5. Review the reference price, estimated shares, order value, and the 0.05% platform fee.
6. Submit the order and check the position and order history.

Market data and market hours

Equity quotes can be delayed or unavailable when the US market is closed. The interface labels the data source and freshness. A market order submitted on a paper ledger uses the latest available reference price, not a guaranteed opening price.

Fees

• Stock reference fee: 0.05% of order value.
• Crypto spot fee: 0.10%.
• Commodity reference fee: 0.08%.
• Futures fee: 0.04% of notional; options fee: 0.02% of premium.

Risk and limitations

Paper trading does not replicate slippage, borrow costs, dividends, corporate actions, taxes, or exchange execution. Stock prices can gap and reference data can be stale. Nothing on the platform is investment, legal, or tax advice. Do not use paper results as evidence of future returns.
