The game: One US-listed stock per day, locked before the market opens. Your score is that stock's percentage move for the session. A conviction pick, once a week, counts double.

Seasons: The week is the competition and resets Monday. The month is the season of record and is kept in your archive.

How scores settle: Ranked scores use adjusted close data from Alpha Vantage, calculated server-side after the closing bell. Prices are not real time, so a result can land a while after the close.

Free to play: Pickfolio is free to enter. There is no entry fee, no stake, and no payout. Nothing here is a contest, sweepstake, or wager.

Fair play: Duplicate accounts, bots, edited or late picks, abusive behavior, data manipulation, or suspicious activity can remove a player from ranked results.

Not financial advice: Pickfolio is a paper portfolio game, not investment advice, research, or a recommendation to buy or sell securities.
