The iPlexTrader Pro is an iOS social game based on auction-style stock trading where you trade virtual stocks and options with your friends and family.
Each game lasts for a day, where you join a game as a stock broker with the objective of buying stocks at a low-price and selling at a high-price, thus making most money from the trades.
Unlike a real-world stock market, each game is limited to a single exchange, which can be public or private. In addition to trading, there are social aspects to the game such as building private exchanges and sharing them with your friends, and establishing a like-ability factor for an all-round buzz for the companies. Also, the members can view activities from other players in a game, view their gain/loss from the trading, view ranking of the players in terms of gain/loss and comment on their trades.
At the end of a game, the top players for each game are awarded badges, which are permanently visible from their profile.
This is a really addictive app and sets you on your feet for real life trading. The app allows you to store your favourite companies so you can automatically receive stocks and options from said companies instantly.
You can browse or search for more than 20,000 companies and industries, buy and sell stocks with a touch of a button and manipulate the buzz quote value for companies.
The Quote lookup screen allows you to have the latest market news and events while three is also a Daily Hot list of companies. You have your own personal portfolio which shows your virtual cash balance, capital gains and stocks/options you hold. You see your portfolio purchase and market value changing in real time as well as orders and floor bids.
You can note down exchange trends and there are helpful tips to guide you to the top. This game is captivating and truly addictive even for the non-stock brokers amongst us.
It’ll help you teach you the core qualities you need to successful trading and have fun with a whole load of cash.
