Do I trade with real money?+

No. Sharpe League uses paper trading. You connect an Alpaca paper account to practise with simulated capital and market data.

What do I need to get started?+

Create a Sharpe League account, then connect your Alpaca paper account from the dashboard. Once the portfolio is synced, you can explore trading, analytics, and eligible leagues.

Can I compete with my friends?+

Yes. Find participants through Social, build your circle, and create or join a private league. League creation and invitations depend on your plan and the league’s settings.

Is this walkthrough my actual portfolio?+

No. Every figure and participant in this showroom is an illustrative example. Demo interactions never place orders, change your portfolio, or send invitations.
