Question 1

Is VestPrimer really free?

Accepted Answer

Yes — completely free. We never charge you. We earn a small commission only if you eventually open an account with one of our partner brokers.

Question 2

Do I need to register or sign up?

Accepted Answer

No. You can try VestPrimer instantly — no email, no password, no card. Your portfolio is saved in your browser.

Question 3

Is the $10,000 real money?

Accepted Answer

No. It's virtual money you use to practice. There's zero financial risk, but the stock prices and movements are 100% real.

Question 4

How accurate are the stock prices?

Accepted Answer

Prices are pulled from real-time market data for 150+ stocks across major exchanges. You see exactly what real investors see.

Question 5

What is the match score (0–10)?

Accepted Answer

After our 3-step Wizard (goals, risk, sectors), we score every stock for how well it fits you. A 10 means a perfect match for your profile. It is not financial advice — it's an educational fit indicator.

Question 6

What is Buy the Dip in VestPrimer?

Accepted Answer

It's our Anti-Panic framing. When a stock in your portfolio drops, we explain why and reframe the dip as a potential opportunity, so you learn to stay calm instead of panic-selling.

Question 7

What is the Pizza Theory?

Accepted Answer

It's our beginner-friendly way to explain stock pricing. Cutting a pizza into 10 slices instead of 4 doesn't make it bigger. A $50 stock isn't necessarily cheaper than a $500 stock — what matters is the company's total value.

Question 8

What is the Snowball Effect?

Accepted Answer

Compound growth visualized. Every dividend or gain you reinvest adds to next year's base, and the growth accelerates. We project this on your virtual portfolio so you can see the math.

Question 9

When I'm ready for real investing, what brokers do you recommend?

Accepted Answer

We partner with XTB, eToro, Trading 212, and Interactive Brokers — all regulated in Europe. You can explore them after building confidence in the simulator.

Question 10

Does VestPrimer give financial advice?

Accepted Answer

No. We are an educational simulator. Match scores, projections, and content are for learning purposes only. Always do your own research or consult a licensed advisor before investing.
