Frequently asked questions
What is a $cashtag?
A $cashtag is a stock ticker symbol preceded by a dollar sign (e.g., $AAPL, $TSLA, $MSFT). These are commonly used on financial social platforms like StockTwits and Twitter to discuss stocks.
Does it validate social media accounts?
No. It extracts ASCII @word patterns from your text without checking accounts or platform-specific username rules.
Can I copy one category?
Turn off the categories you do not need, then use the shared Copy button. There are no separate per-category copy buttons.
