Partly, you can build the app, but real trades need approved brokerage and crypto partners.
You can build price lists, a portfolio screen, and buy and sell flows with Vibecode. Real-money trading needs licensed partners that approve your app and handle accounts and trades. Start with practice trades while you arrange those connections.

Written by the checker for a first version. Paste it into Vibecode as is, or change it to make the app yours.
Build an iPhone app for people who want to practice buying and selling stocks and crypto. The main screen should show a searchable watchlist with sample prices and daily changes. Tapping an asset opens its details with a simple price chart and Buy and Sell buttons. Those buttons open a practice order form where I enter an amount, review the order, and confirm a simulated trade. Add a portfolio screen showing practice cash, holdings, and their current sample values. Save practice trades and holdings on the device. Clearly label all prices and trades as simulated, with no real money involved. Use a clean white and dark green design with clear text and simple navigation. Include realistic sample assets and price history.

Vibecode builds a first version from one prompt, and the checker would start with these parts: a searchable stock and crypto watchlist with sample prices; asset details with simulated buy and sell orders; a practice portfolio saved on your device. Plan on a few weeks for a working first version with its real features.
Vibecode's first build is free for new accounts that sign up with Google or Apple on the web or the iPhone app, as the account's first project: one build of about 10 minutes with up to 3 features, on sample data. After that you need credits, from a paid plan or auto-reload. For your own version of Robinhood, the checker lists these costs: Vibecode Plus ($20 a month); Apple Developer Program ($99 a year); API key for licensed trading partners (that service's pricing).
Robinhood provides regulated brokerage accounts, stock clearing and crypto custody that a homemade app would need licensed firms to supply. A version you build yourself won't have these: Robinhood's registered brokerage; Robinhood's stock clearing services; Robinhood's licensed crypto custody.
