How to use the fomo app
The step-by-step pages, including the ones for when something has gone wrong.
These are the pages you open with the app already in your hand. They follow the order most people actually need them in: make a trade work, then make an exit work, then the features that can cost you more than you meant to risk, then the pages for when something has already broken. Each one says plainly which steps come from fomo’s own documentation and which are inference, because fomo does not publish a manual.
- How to use the fomo app: deposit, buy and trade
The whole flow end to end, from signup to a first trade. If you only read one page in this section, read this one.
- Stop loss on the fomo app: selling and closing trades
How to get out, which matters more than how to get in. Confirmed on perps, undocumented on spot, and the page says which is which.
- fomo app copy trading: how following and mirroring works
Following and mirroring other traders, and the odds of it working, which are worse than the feed makes them look.
- How to use fomo app perpetuals
Leveraged positions, including the cross and isolated margin choice. The most dangerous product on the app and blocked entirely in the US.
- Top fomo app traders by profit
Who is at the top of the leaderboard on one dated day, and why that is not the same as audited performance.

For the moment a sell will not go through, which is usually liquidity rather than a bug.
- fomo app deposit not working: why cards fail and what to do
For money that has left your bank and not arrived in the app.
- How to see and export your private key on the fomo app
How to get your key out, which is the thing that makes self-custody mean anything.
- How to delete your fomo app account
How to leave, and what happens to any balance you have not withdrawn first.
What goes wrong most often
A sell that will not complete is almost always liquidity rather than a bug. If the pool has thinned out since you bought, there may be no counterparty at the size you are trying to exit, and the app cannot invent one.
A deposit that has left your bank and not arrived is usually the network or the minimum. The deposit screen offers several chains, the minimum differs per chain, and fomo documents those minimums nowhere, so the screen itself is the only place to read them.
A perp position that closed itself was liquidated. With isolated margin the loss stops at that position’s margin; with cross margin, added in October 2026, positions share one pool and the loss can reach further. Which mode you are in is worth checking before you need to know.
What fomo documents, and what it does not
fomo publishes an answers page and occasional product notes, and that is the whole of the official record. There is no manual, no changelog on its site since June 2026, and no feature comparison between the phone app and the browser version.
So these pages mark their sources as they go. Where a step comes from fomo’s own words it is attributed and dated. Where it is inference from what the product documents, it says so. Nobody here has traded with real money, and no page will pretend otherwise.
What this section cannot tell you
The steps here are reconstructed from fomo’s documentation and public sources, not from a session with money in it. Screens change. Where a page describes something nobody here has watched happen, it says so.
