Type what you believe about the market, in your own words. That one sentence is the whole input.
Write a take → Social paper trading · Est. 2026
Pick a side.
Let the market judge.
Stance turns a market opinion into a paper portfolio, puts it up against the opposite view, and keeps the score in public. No wallet. No deposits. Just your take.
§00 / How it works
One sentence in. A public score out.
Write what you believe, back it with a paper portfolio, and let live prices settle it.

Your take goes public with an end date. Anyone can take the other side, and the market settles it.
Watch a duel →§01 / Why now
Everyone has a take. Almost nobody keeps score.
Timelines are full of confident market calls that quietly disappear when they go wrong. The loudest voices get remembered. The accurate ones usually don't. The gap between "trust me" and "check the chart" needs a scoreboard, not another thread.
- No wallet, no email, just start
- Is all it takes to post a take
- Every take can be challenged
- Paper positions, real market prices
[ §02 ] What you can do
One opinion. Four ways to play.
Every take can be challenged, argued with, put on a clock and voted on.
[ A ]
Versus
Every take can be challenged. Post the opposite view and both portfolios run head to head from the same start price. Spectators pick a side and watch it play out.
[ B ]
Devil's advocate
Before you publish, the AI argues against you. It points at the weakest part of your thesis and the risks you skipped. Revise it, or post it anyway and own it.
[ C ]
Deadline
Every take comes with an end date: a week, a month, a quarter. When the clock runs out, the result is revealed. No quiet deletes, no moving goalposts.
[ D ]
Hot seat
Each week, the most argued open take is pinned to the top of the feed. Everyone votes agree or disagree. When its clock runs out, we find out who was right: the crowd or the author.
§03 / Live duel

§04 / Build log
We build in public.
This is an early page. The product is being built in the open, one feature at a time, with the people who will actually use it. Versus, deadlines and the AI are live: it drafts a portfolio from one sentence and argues against you before you publish. What should we build next? Tell us on X.
§05 / FAQ
Questions, answered.
What Stance is, how a take is scored, and what it will never ask you for.
Is any of this real money?
No. Every position is on paper. The prices are real, live perp prices; the money is not. There is nothing to deposit and nothing to lose.
Do I need a wallet?
No. There's no wallet and no sign-up at all. Your account is created the first time you post a take or vote, and it lives in your browser.
How is a take scored?
Each position's move since entry, weighted by its share of the portfolio, with shorts counted the other way. Entry prices are locked on our server the moment you publish. At the deadline, each market's final price is its last trade before the deadline, and the result is locked for good.
How does a versus work?
Open any take and challenge it. You post the opposite view with your own portfolio, and both sides are scored from that same moment to the same deadline. Spectators pick who they think is right. Challenges and picks close halfway to the deadline. One challenge per take, and never your own.
When does a take end?
You pick a week, a month or a quarter when you publish, and the deadline is rounded up to the next full hour (UTC). Votes and challenges close halfway there, so every call is made well before the result. When the clock runs out you see the final return, and whether the call was right.
Can I edit or delete a take?
No. Once a take is live it stays exactly as published. That is the point: the score is public and it sticks.
What is the Hot seat?
The open take with the most votes since Monday 00:00 UTC. It is pinned to the top of the feed, and everyone votes agree or disagree until its votes close.
How many takes can I post?
Up to 10 in any 24 hours, each with 1 to 8 markets.
Is this financial advice?
No. Stance is a game of opinions scored against real prices. Nothing on it is a recommendation to trade.
