About CustomStocks
CustomStocks is a free stock paper trading app that lets you practice buying and selling stocks with virtual money and real market prices. No account required, no ads, no hidden fees — just a simple tool for learning how the stock market works.
Why We Built This
Stock trading has a steep learning curve, and the cost of learning with real money can be brutal. Most beginners lose money not because the concepts are hard, but because they haven't had enough practice reading charts, understanding order types, or managing risk.
CustomStocks exists to close that gap. It gives you a realistic trading environment where mistakes are free and every lesson sticks — because you're practicing with real price data, not hypothetical scenarios.
What You Get
- 50+ stocks with real-time prices from financial data providers
- Paper trading — buy and sell with virtual balances you control
- Up to 3 portfolios to test different strategies side by side
- Portfolio analytics — track your performance, see your gains and losses
- 7 free educational guides covering everything from what paper trading is to trading strategies
- No account needed — your data stays on your device
- 100% free — no ads, no subscriptions, no in-app purchases
Who It's For
CustomStocks is designed for anyone curious about stock trading but not ready to risk real money. Whether you're a complete beginner trying to understand what a P/E ratio is, a student learning about financial markets, or someone who wants to test a trading strategy before committing real capital — this app is for you.
Our Approach to Education
We believe the best way to learn trading is by doing it. Our educational guides pair written explanations with hands-on practice in the app. Every article includes concepts you can immediately test with paper trading, so the knowledge sticks.
We cover the fundamentals — chart reading, order types, stock valuations, trading strategies — and the practical knowledge that matters most, like market hours and when to transition to real trading.
Privacy First
CustomStocks stores all your data locally on your device. We don't require an account, we don't track your trades, and we don't sell your information. Read our full privacy policy for details.
