New: group chats, conviction staking with volatility-priced odds, a "why your calls win" breakdown, Lock Screen Live Activities, and smarter coaching.
TickerOne is a daily stock-prediction game from The Investment Analyst (TIA). One ticker. One call. One minute. Lock in your prediction before the close, then come back to see how you did. A daily ritual for anyone curious about markets, from finance pros testing their edge to newcomers learning what moves a stock.
HOW IT WORKS
Open the app each weekday. We pick one stock, usually a name you know.
Pick a direction (UP or DOWN), a confidence level (Safe, Normal, or Bold), and an optional range bracket for bonus points.
Come back after the close. See the result, your points, and your place on the leaderboard.
Sixty seconds to play. The rest of the day to think about how the market moved.
WHY PEOPLE STICK AROUND
Streaks: get more right in a row, and multipliers climb. Break one, the deck resets.
Wildcards: bonus cards that double winnings, halve losses, or save a streak. Earned through play, never bought.
Pro Picks: see what TIA's analysts called each day, with their reasoning revealed on the result screen.
Friends: challenge anyone to a 1v1, build a private league, or chase your cohort on the leaderboard.
Live leaderboards: during market hours, watch your projected rank move in real time as prices update.
Weekly Recap: every weekend, see your direction bias, best and worst calls, and what to sharpen for next week.
11 WILDCARDS
Double Down doubles winning points. Safety Net zeros out a loss. Sharp Shooter triples your range bonus on a bullseye. Crystal Ball reveals the community split before you lock in. Contrarian rewards fading the crowd. All-In triples wins and losses, for the brave. Echo one-tap copies the top Pro Pick. Phoenix revives a broken streak. Plus Insurance, Streak Freeze, and Second Chance. Earn them by playing, never paid for, never expires.
DEEPER STATS

TOURNAMENTS & LEAGUES
Seasonal tournaments with their own leaderboards. Private Leagues for your group with a shareable 8-character invite code. Cohort Leagues that auto-group you with players who signed up in the same month as you. Friends leaderboard with a one-tap challenge button on every row.
