Questions, answered straight.

What is Turbo?

A mobile app for trading stocks, commodities, indices, currencies, crypto and Pre-IPO names, open 24/7 and priced from a live order book.

When does it launch?

Turbo is in private beta now. Join the waitlist and you’ll be first in line as we open up.

How does it work?

Turbo markets are built on perpetual futures — contracts that track the live price of an asset and never expire. These contracts don’t have to close like traditional markets, which means every asset on Turbo trades around the clock. Prices come from a live order book, not a broker’s desk, so you can see the market you’re trading into at any hour. How Turbo works, in the docs

What exactly am I trading?

A perpetual futures contract that gives you price exposure, long or short, without owning the underlying asset or gaining shareholder rights such as voting or dividends. Pre-IPO names have no official exchange price; their prices are discovered on the live order book. What you’re actually trading, in the docs

Can I use leverage?

Yes, on supported markets. There’s no options chain to learn — no strike prices, no expiry dates, no time decay working against you. Leverage magnifies both directions of a move, your gains and your losses, so size positions carefully and use the risk controls built into every trade. Leverage, margin and liquidation, explained in the docs

How much does it cost?

Turbo applies a 0.05% fee to your trade value, on top of the underlying exchange’s standard taker fee of 0.045% — both shown before you confirm. Opening and closing a position each count as a trade. Holding a position also involves funding, an hourly payment between traders that you may pay or receive — it never goes to Turbo. No hidden charges. Full fee breakdown in the docs

What can I trade?

Stocks, commodities like gold, silver and oil, indices, currencies, crypto and Pre-IPO names. Everything trades 24/7. The app shows the markets available to you.

Do I need to verify my identity?

Yes, before you can deposit or trade with real money. You’ll complete a standard identity check when you open your account. You don’t need to verify your identity just to join the waitlist.

Who holds my money?

You do. Turbo accounts are non-custodial: your balance sits in a wallet you control, and only you can authorize transactions. Turbo has no ability to move your balance or freeze it. The key-security infrastructure behind it is provided by Turnkey. How custody works, in detail

Can I use Turbo alongside my current broker?

Yes. Many traders keep a long-term portfolio where it is and use Turbo for the markets and the hours their existing platform doesn’t cover.

Where is it available?

Availability varies by region. Join the waitlist and we’ll tell you the moment Turbo opens where you are.

Is this investment advice?

No. Turbo gives you markets, data and tools — the decisions and the risk are yours. Nothing on Turbo is a recommendation to buy or sell.

Is the free trade real money?

It’s a real position on a live market at the live price. What it isn’t is cash in your account: we put up the money behind the trade, you choose the trade and get the outcome. Any profit it makes is yours.

Can I lose money on it?

Not your own. If the market moves against you far enough, the position closes and nothing comes out of your pocket. Your qualifying deposit is separate — it isn’t at risk on this trade and it stays in your account.

Why the deposit and the ID check?

Two reasons. An ID check means one person, one trade — it’s what keeps the offer honest for everyone. And a verified, funded account is a real trading account: when this trade closes, you’re already set up for the next one.

Which markets can I pick?

A shortlist of Turbo’s most liquid markets. You’ll see the markets available for the offer when you open your free trade.

Who can take part?

The launch offer is for the first 5,000 traders who join the waitlist and qualify where Turbo is available. You’ll need to verify your identity and fund your account at launch. Availability varies by region — join and we’ll tell you when we open where you are.
