Stock Market

Learn how to buy low, sell high, collect daily dividends, and use the MiroMarket as a coin-earning strategy.

Where to find it

• Menu path: Play → Stock Market, or search for Stock Market.
• Direct link: /stocks/

Two ways to earn

1. Trading: buy shares, wait for the price to rise, and sell for more than you paid. Selling costs a small broker fee (see below).
2. Dividends: stocks with a green DIV badge pay you coins every day just for holding shares - no selling required.

The market is not an instant claim: your coins are tied up until you sell, and new shares must be held for 24 hours before they can be sold.

A simple beginner plan:

1. Open the Stock Market and look at Top Movers and each stock's sparkline.
2. Buy a small amount of a stock that is down over the past 24 hours but not crashing forever.
3. Pick up some DIV stocks too - they pay daily while you wait.
4. Spread your buys across a few stocks instead of using all your coins on one ticker.
5. Come back after the 24-hour hold expires.
6. Sell shares that are above your average buy price, or keep holding if they are still down.

How prices move

Prices update automatically every 15 minutes - the market page shows a countdown to the next update. Every stock has a volatility level:

• Low volatility stocks stay in a narrow band. They move slowly, and they are the ones that pay daily dividends.
• Medium volatility stocks move more noticeably and are a good middle ground.
• High volatility stocks can double or halve over a stretch - big wins and big losses both happen.

Price moves are random with no built-in upward or downward bias, but each stock is pulled back toward its typical trading range when it strays far from it. A stock that has run far above its usual range tends to drift back down, and one that has crashed tends to recover. Use the 7D and 30D chart views on a stock's page to see its typical range before you buy.

All the change figures on the market page - the hero stats, stock cards, sparklines, and Top Movers - cover the past 24 hours.

Dividends

• Stocks with the green DIV badge pay a daily dividend (currently 0.5% of the share price, per share, per day). These are the low-volatility stocks: BANK, HEAL, HOME, SQUEK, TROVE, WARM, YUMMY.
• Dividends are paid automatically once per day and arrive as coins with a message from MiroMarket.
• Your portfolio shows total dividends earned, and each dividend stock's page estimates how many coins per day your shares earn.
• Because dividend stocks barely swing in price, they behave like a steady income investment rather than a trading play.

Broker fee

Selling shares costs a 2% broker fee, shown in the sell form before you confirm. A sale made by a Sell Target costs 4% instead (see Sell Targets below). Buying is free. This means rapid buy-sell flipping loses coins - plan to hold until a real gain covers the fee. All trades settle in whole coins: purchase costs round up, sale payouts round down.

How to buy shares

1. Go to /stocks/ and choose a stock card. Cards show a 24-hour sparkline, the DIV badge, and an "Own" chip for stocks you already hold. You can sort by biggest gainers/losers, price, or owned-first, and filter to dividend payers only.
2. On the stock's page, check the price chart (24H / 7D / 30D), today's range bar, day high/low, all-time high/low, and volatility.
3. In the Buy tab, enter how many shares you want and confirm the total cost.

Buying uses your current coin balance immediately. Your portfolio then tracks:

• shares owned
• average buy price
• current value
• gain/loss
• 24-hour change
• dividends earned

How to earn coins by selling

You earn coins when you sell shares for more than you paid on average, after the broker fee.

Example:

1. You buy 50 shares at 100 MPC each. Total cost: 5,000 MPC.
2. Later the price rises to 118 MPC.
3. Selling 50 shares is worth 5,900 MPC, minus the 2% broker fee (118 MPC), so you receive 5,782 MPC.
4. Your profit is 782 MPC - plus any dividends the stock paid while you held it.

The portfolio page shows your invested amount, current value, gain/loss, dividends, which shares are sellable, and your active Sell Targets.

Sell Targets

A Sell Target sells your shares for you when a stock climbs to a price you pick, so a spike in the middle of the night doesn't slip past while you're away.

1. Open a stock you own and find the Sell Target card next to your holdings.
2. Choose how many shares to sell and the price to sell at. The quick buttons set the target 5%, 10%, 20% or 35% above today's price.
3. Press Set Sell Target. The card shows how far the price still has to climb and what you would get.

How it works:

• Targets only work upward: the price you pick has to be above the current price, up to 3 times the current price.
• Every 15-minute price update checks your target. When the price reaches it, your shares sell at that update's price, which can be higher than your target.
• A Sell Target sale costs a 4% fee instead of the usual 2%. That's the price of having the market watch for you.
• The 24-hour hold still applies. Shares you just bought sell once they unlock, if the price is still at your target.
• You can have one target per stock. Setting a new one replaces the old one, and you can change or cancel it any time.
• Targets last 7 days. MiroMarket mails you when a target sells and when one runs out.
• If you sell some shares yourself, the target shrinks to what you have left. Sell them all and the target is canceled.

Your portfolio lists every active target with a Cancel button, and each holding shows its target as a purple chip.

Reading the page

Use these parts of the Stock Market page:

• MiroMarket Index: shows the overall market's 24-hour direction. It reads 100 when every stock sits at its typical price, so a reading of 95 means the market as a whole is about 5% below normal, and a new listing does not move it.
• Top Movers: the biggest gainers and losers of the past 24 hours. Losers can be discounts; gainers may already be near the top of their range.
• Sector filters and sorting: food, toys, tech, fashion, adventure, services, entertainment, plus sort options and a DIV-only filter.
• Sparklines: each card's mini chart shows the last 24 hours at a glance.
• Stock chart: switch between 24H, 7D, and 30D views to see the stock's typical range.
• Typical price: each stock's page shows its typical price and how far today's price sits above or below it. Below typical is the cheap side; prices drift back toward typical over a few days.
• Today's Range bar: shows where the current price sits between today's low and high.
• Day High / Day Low: today's extremes so far.
• Volatility: tells you how wild the price swings can be.
• DIV badge: the stock pays a daily dividend.

Limits and rules

• You can buy up to 250 shares per day total across all stocks (IPO allocations are separate, see below).
• You can own up to 10,000 shares of one stock.
• Shares bought in the last 24 hours are locked and cannot be sold yet.
• Older shares are sold first.
• Selling costs a 2% broker fee.
• A Sell Target sale costs a 4% fee. You can have one Sell Target per stock, and it lasts 7 days.
• There is no guaranteed profit. Prices can move down after you buy.

IPOs and new listings

Every so often a new company lists on the MiroMarket. A listing runs in three stages:

1. Listing soon: the stock appears in an amber "Listing Soon" card on the market page with its IPO price, sector and a countdown. You can open its page, but you cannot trade it yet.
2. IPO window (24 hours): the price is fixed at the IPO price, which is set about 10% below the stock's typical price. Every player can buy up to 100 shares of each IPO stock during the window. IPO shares are separate from your daily 250-share limit, so taking an allocation never costs you your regular trading for the day. Cards show a pink IPO badge.
3. Open trading: when the window closes the price starts moving like any other stock and drifts toward its typical range. Newly listed stocks carry a New badge for their first week.

IPO shares follow the normal rules once you own them: they unlock to sell 24 hours after each purchase and the 2% broker fee applies when you sell. An IPO discount is a head start, not a guarantee. A high-volatility listing can still dip below its IPO price in the first days.

Good habits

• Do not spend every coin you have. Keep coins available for pets, shops, auctions, and other daily needs.
• Buy in smaller batches so you can average down if a stock drops more later.
• Diversify across multiple stocks or sectors - the portfolio card shows your allocation.
• Hold some DIV stocks for steady daily income, and use higher-volatility stocks for bigger swings only if you are comfortable waiting through losses.
• Check the 7D/30D chart before buying: if the price is near the top of its usual range, be patient.
• Consider selling part of a winning position instead of all of it, especially if the stock still looks strong.
• Can't check the market often? Set a Sell Target a little above today's price and let a spike sell for you. Keep the 4% fee in mind and don't set it so close that the fee eats the gain.

Common mistakes

• Buying only because a stock is listed under Top Movers gainers. It may already be near the top of its range.
• Selling immediately after buying. New shares have a 24-hour hold, so this will not work.
• Flipping shares for tiny gains. The 2% sell fee eats small profits.
• Putting all your MPC into one high-volatility stock.
• Ignoring average buy price. Your profit depends on your own average, not just whether the stock is green today.
• Overlooking dividends. A DIV stock that "never moves" is still paying you every day.

Charms

The market has its own charm ladder based on your total earnings — sell profits, dividends, and gains on shares you still hold all count toward it: Pocket Profit (10,000 MPC), Savvy Investor (100,000 MPC), Market Mover (1,000,000 MPC), and the legendary Wolf of MiroMarket (5,000,000 MPC). Your first share purchase also unlocks the Stock Watcher charm.
