Frequently asked questions
1. What makes MarketPlays different?
Unlike traditional investment platforms, we don’t follow experts or fund managers—we crowdsource real user data to create diversified portfolios.
2. Is my brokerage account supported?
We support most major brokerages, we will announce the full list once we are closer to launching this feature.

Your data is private and encrypted. We only aggregate holdings anonymously to build investment hubs—no personal data is shared.

Yes! You’re not locked into any hub’s allocation. You can adjust weights, remove stocks, or add your own selections while still benefiting from community-driven diversification.

Our investment hubs are built using real retail investor portfolios. Instead of relying on a single person's stock picks, we aggregate holdings from thousands of users to create naturally diversified portfolios in different sectors.

Absolutely! MarketPlays makes investing accessible by showing you what stocks other retail investors are holding, giving you a solid starting point without the complexity of stock picking.
