Buy a stock

Hi, I’m Nora, Pinnora’s animated guide.

In this video, you’ll buy a stock in the Pinnora app,

from start to finish.

You’ll find a stock, look at its page,

and choose how much to spend, in dollars.

Then you’ll press and hold to buy,

and see your new shares in your account.

Start on your Home screen.

In the row of filters at the top, tap “Stocks”.

Home now shows only your stocks:

your stocks balance, the stock market,

and your recent stock transactions.

Scroll down to Top trending stocks,

and tap the one you want.

Our sample member, Alex, taps Nvidia,

and its page opens.

There’s a shortcut, too. Tap the plus button, then “Stocks”, then “Buy stock”.

Pick a stock from the list, and its buy sheet opens straight away.

Before you buy, though, it’s worth a look at the stock’s own page.

This is the stock’s page.

At the top is the latest price,

and how much it has moved.

Underneath, it says when the price was last quoted.

Tap the ranges under the chart to see how the price has moved over the last week,

month or year.

“1D” takes you back to the latest session.

Scroll down to About and Key stats.

They tell you what the company does,

and give its main figures.

Your history shows what you already hold,

and every trade you’ve made in it.

When you’re ready, tap “Buy”, at the bottom of the screen.

The buy sheet opens. Under the title:

“Market order · executes immediately”.

That means your order fills straight away, at the price shown.

You choose an amount in US dollars,

not a number of shares. So you can own part of a share.

Type an amount, or tap a quick amount. Here, Alex taps $50.

Just below, the estimate shows roughly how many shares that buys.

The price keeps updating while the sheet is open,

and the estimate follows it.

If you ask for more than the cash you have,

the sheet tells you how much you have.

The button stays grey until you choose a smaller amount.

Alex goes back to $50.

Now press and hold the “Hold to confirm” button.

If you let go too soon, nothing happens. That way,

you can’t buy by accident.

Keep your finger down for about a second, while the bar fills.

And your order is placed.

Pinnora confirms what you bought, and at what price.

The money comes from cash in your trading account first,

then from your funding wallet.

And your new shares go into your trading account.

Tap “Done”. Pinnora reminds you that the order is in your Transaction history.

Back on the stock’s page, Your history now shows the new buy at the top,

and the total you hold.

On Home, with “Stocks” on, your stocks balance now includes your new shares.

Swipe across the cards to find Nvidia’s own card, with what you hold.

Your new buy is also at the top of Recent stocks transactions.

You also get a notification. Tap the bell to see it.

It says “You bought $50.00 of NVDA”.

Tap it to read more.

And every buy is in your Transaction history.

Tap one to see its details and reference.

A few things worth knowing.

Share prices go up and down, so what you buy can be worth less than you paid.

Buying a coin, like bitcoin, takes you to the Trade page instead.

Video 11 shows you how.

To add money first, see videos 5 and 6. And to sell,

tap “Sell” on the stock’s page. That’s video 10.

Now you know how to buy a stock.

Find it with the “Stocks” filter on Home, or the plus button.

Look at its page: the price, the chart,

About and Key stats.

Choose an amount in dollars.

Press and hold for about a second.

Then find your new shares on Home,

in your history and in the bell.
