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.
  • 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. 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, and which shares are sellable.

Reading the page

Use these parts of the Stock Market page:

  • MiroMarket Index: shows the overall market's 24-hour direction.
  • 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, and services, 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.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • There is no guaranteed profit. Prices can move down after you buy.

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.

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.
  • Bank for safely storing coins outside the market.
  • Games for earning more MPC to invest.
  • Auctions and Shops if you need coins available for items.
