Trade like a pro. Risk like a beginner.

Hedge Fund CEO is a polished stock-trading simulator. Start with a virtual $100,000, trade real US-listed tickers at real, delayed market quotes, run options with full Greeks, and climb a global leaderboard — without risking a cent of real money.

The game

Real markets. Real prices. Zero risk.

Every quote you see is a real, delayed market quote. Every dividend hits on the real ex-date. Every options Greek is the one the market is actually pricing. The only thing that isn't real is the money.

Long, short, cover, sell

Realistic order handling with confirmation sheets. Day P&L and total P&L pinned to your dashboard.

Full options chains

Calls and puts across every available expiry. Live bid/ask, IV, delta, gamma, theta, vega.

Dividends, on the ex-date

Hold through the ex-date and the payment hits your cash automatically — recorded in your trade history.

Global leaderboard

Anonymous by default. Sign in with Apple only if you want to claim a display name.

22 achievements

Bronze, silver, and gold tiers across Milestones, Skill, Wealth, Diversification, and Risk.

News, curated

Headlines that matter to the US market. Publisher, timestamp, clean in-app reader view.

Privacy & honesty

What we collect, and what we don't.

Hedge Fund CEO is free because it shows mobile ads. That's the only reason. We don't analyze your trades to sell you anything, we don't track you across the web, and we don't ask you to sign up to play.

  • No required account. Sign in with Apple is optional and only used to claim a leaderboard name.
  • Portfolio is stored on your device — and on Firestore only if you sign in, so it survives reinstalls.
  • Leaderboard writes a single number: your portfolio value, attached to an anonymous UID.
  • Google Mobile Ads is the only tracking SDK, and you can opt out via App Tracking Transparency.
  • No location access. No HealthKit access. No contacts, photos, microphone, or camera.
  • HTTPS everywhere. Standard iOS encryption only.

The fine print. Hedge Fund CEO is a simulated trading game. All quotes are delayed and provided for entertainment and educational purposes only. Nothing in the app is investment advice. Achievements and leaderboard positions have no real-world value. We never accept, hold, or transfer real money — and we never will.
