Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about Face Value
Face Value is a fun, virtual stock exchange where you can trade 'stocks' of famous CEOs and tech founders. Think of it as a meme stock market — no real money involved, just pure entertainment and bragging rights!
We use a real order-book matching engine just like professional exchanges. You can place market orders (execute immediately at best price) or limit orders (set your own price). When a buy order matches a sell order, a trade happens!
Everyone starts with virtual currency (FVC — Face Value Coins). You can use it to buy CEO stocks, and earn more by selling at higher prices. It's all for fun — no real money can be deposited or withdrawn.
Prices are determined purely by supply and demand. When more people want to buy a CEO, the price goes up. When more want to sell, it goes down. Each CEO has a 'Face Value' (base price) that serves as a reference.
Yes, just like real trading! If you buy a stock and its price drops, your holdings lose value. But remember, it's all virtual — no real financial consequences.
Yes! Face Value is completely open source. Check out our GitHub repository to see the code, contribute, or even self-host your own instance.
