Betting on Stocks on Moon.com, 24/7
Short version: Moon lets you bet Up or Down on big US stocks like Apple, Tesla and NVIDIA, plus indices and gold, at any hour, with up to 1000x leverage. Outside market hours, prices come from extended-hours data sources. That's convenient, but stocks can jump several percent overnight, so keep leverage low around news.
What you can bet on
When we checked, Moon's market list included:
- Stocks: Apple (AAPL), Tesla (TSLA), NVIDIA (NVDA), AMD, Intel (INTC), Amazon (AMZN), Alphabet (GOOGL), Netflix (NFLX) and more
- Indices: Nasdaq 100 (NDX) and S&P 500 (SPX)
- Commodities: gold vs US dollar (XAU/USD)
- Pre-IPO markets: private companies such as SpaceX (SPCX) and Anthropic (ANT)
Leverage goes up to 1000x on stocks too; Apple showed a 1x–1000x slider when we checked. You're betting on the price, not buying shares, so there are no dividends or voting rights.
How prices work outside market hours
US stock exchanges close in the evening, but Moon keeps stocks open 24/7. During regular hours it uses institutional real-time data. After hours, Moon says many stock prices are calculated through SEDA Protocol from several inputs, including liquid perpetual futures markets such as Hyperliquid where appropriate, until the exchange reopens.
That means you can react to an evening earnings release straight away. It also means the after-hours price reflects thinner, more volatile markets than the regular session.

Stocks can move 5–10% or more in minutes after earnings or big news. At 20x, a 5% move against you ends the bet. At 100x, a 1% move does. If you want to bet on an earnings reaction, use low leverage, a small wager and an Auto Loss, and accept that the first minutes after a release are close to a coin flip.
Pre-IPO markets: know what you're betting on
Companies like SpaceX and Anthropic aren't publicly listed, so there's no stock exchange price. A pre-IPO market's price comes from other sources and can behave very differently from a listed stock. Treat these as higher-risk and lower-leverage markets, and read the market's details on Moon before betting.
Leverage for stocks
Big index moves are usually smaller than Bitcoin's on a normal day, so the same leverage carries a bit less noise risk on the Nasdaq 100 or S&P 500. Single stocks are another story, especially smaller or more volatile ones. Use the approach in our leverage guide: work out the typical move for your holding time, and give yourself at least three times that before your max loss price.
Fees are the same as crypto
1% of your wager to open, a performance fee on profits. Details and real examples in Moon.com fees explained.
