The calculator allows you to visualize the market growth of a company over a time period. And with using real numbers, we can estimate how many shares would have changed in value.

Paper Trade allows you to simulate holding a portfolio of mulitiple different companies. You can choose how many stocks and how many shares you wish to purchase based off your wallet. Then after choosing a buy and sell date you can see how your portfolio performed.
