Where your money lives
MarketPlays is not a brokerage. It is the layer where you build the blend and have the conversations. Your money never leaves the account you already trust.
Approve every order. Nothing moves without you.
Builds your blend and sends the one order you approved. Never holds your money.
Holds your funds and executes the order, same as always.
Positions sync back read-only, so your portfolio always reflects what you actually hold.
Credentials stay with your broker
Linking runs through SnapTrade, a brokerage connection service built for consumer investing apps, over an OAuth connection. MarketPlays never sees or stores your brokerage password.
No custody, ever
MarketPlays is not a brokerage and never takes custody of your money or your shares.
Read-only by default
We read positions to keep your portfolio in sync. Trades happen only when you approve them.
Anonymous aggregation
Holdings are aggregated anonymously into the crowd portfolio. Your account details are never shared.
Quotes may be delayed. MarketPlays is not an investment adviser.
Talk stocks with people who actually own them
Follow discussions on the companies you care about and see what other investors actually hold. Real conversations with people who have positions, not strangers shouting tickers.
Common questions
Are these real portfolios?
Yes. Positions are synced from connected brokerage accounts through our SnapTrade integration, so your portfolio reflects what you actually hold instead of numbers you typed in.
How does the blend work?
Your personal portfolio combines a crowd portfolio and an ETF mix. The default split is 40 percent crowd and 60 percent ETF, and you can shift it with one slider. Free members can change the blend once every 30 days, with changes applying at the next weekly refresh. Pro members can change it any time and changes apply right away.
Is MarketPlays a brokerage?
No. MarketPlays connects to the brokerage you already use. Your money and your positions stay at your brokerage, and orders are placed through the account you connect.
What does it cost?
Creating an account, joining discussions, and connecting a brokerage are free. Pro is $9.99 per month and unlocks instant blend changes, unlimited trades, daily portfolio refreshes, and a live intraday chart.
