Spot the Stock
Can you name that stock from its chart?
How to play
Read the chart plus light context (sector, size band)
You still do not get the name up front, but you may see sector and a market-cap band. Use those with the share-price path to reason about which profile fits, similar to a quick equity screen, only with one chart on screen at a time.
Pick the right ticker in four
Choose which of four listed tickers matches the chart. Unlike pure ticker-speed rounds, the chart is the main clue, so the skill is chart recognition and cross-checking hints, not name recall alone.
Trade precision for more points on harder settings
Rounds with fewer or subtler hints often award more if you are right, which nudges you toward the harder end of the difficulty curve once the basics feel easy.
4 options per round. Sharper eye, higher score.
Frequently asked questions
What is Spot the Stock?
Spot the Stock is a free “guess the stock from the chart” game. You see a historical price line and a short set of multiple-choice U.S. tickers. Limited hints (like sector) sometimes appear to narrow the field, but the heart of the game is still reading the tape.
Is Spot the Stock free to play?
Yes, it is part of Ticker League and free in the browser for casual use. The flow is built so you can drop in, run 10 quick rounds, and stop—no long setup.
How long is a Spot the Stock run?
Each run is 10 questions. Rounds are not on a per-chart timer, so you can compare the line and options before you tap a ticker, which works better for learning patterns than a pure speed test.
What hints are available, and do harder rounds pay more?
Rounds can surface the sector, a size context, and similar nudges while the name stays hidden. When the same chart could fit several names, fewer or vaguer hints usually line up with higher scoring if you still pick correctly.
