Your game recap

How to play

Start a game. Choose a room and start playing with ten masked movers. Choosing a name or avatar is optional.

Simulated execution. Orders fill at the reached replay price. This game does not model spreads, fees, slippage, liquidity or partial fills. Results are practice outcomes and are not predictions of live trading performance. Ranked challenge power-ups can temporarily change buying power; solo practice uses the standard account.

The round. Your room’s trading window replays in five minutes. Solo practice starts after three seconds, pauses when you leave the app, and has no knockouts or ranked score. Agents follow different strategies and place simulated trades using the same execution rules as you. Agents enter within the first 45 seconds when an affordable stock is available.

Power-ups. Choose two different power-ups for the entire five-minute game. Each can be used once. Advancing to another knockout round does not refill them. Margin Surge gives 10× buying power for 60 seconds. Double Down doubles one position, up to 8× total exposure, for 60 seconds. When a boost ends, exposure trims to the remaining boost’s cap or the base 4×. Profit Lock closes your positions and pauses trading for 10 seconds. It does not protect your rank from a knockout.

Your money. You start with $250,000 in equity and $1,000,000 in buying power (4× day-trading margin). Long and short positions share that limit. Gains and losses use your full position size; equity remains the basis for ranking.

Order size. Choose shares or dollars, then type an amount or use Presets. All-in uses your remaining buying power, including margin, rounded down to whole shares at execution. It does not place an order until you press Buy or Sell. A smaller amount than one share may remain unused. Editing the size leaves All-in mode.

Your name. Profile lets you change your name and avatar at any time, including during a game. No name or email is required to play.

Take profit / stop loss. Set TP or SL on a position and it closes itself when price gets there — even while you're looking at another stock.

Winning. Highest account value when the bell rings. Open positions are closed at the last price.

Your watchlist. Your room includes all ten movers. Swipe the ticker strip to switch between them. Sixteen is the number of traders in the competition.

Your indicators. Swipe the indicator row and tap a study to show or hide it. VWAP, EMA, SMA and Bollinger Bands overlay price. RSI, MACD and Stochastic appear below price in their own panels. Volume appears below price. Selecting an indicator keeps your place; scroll to its chart panel or use Full chart for more space. Studies show a warmup message when an interval has too few candles. All indicators use only the data reached by the replay.

Chart timeframes. Choose minutes or up to 4 hours. Prior sessions give every timeframe history before the round starts. D−1 labels the previous session. New candles build as the replay advances; future prices stay hidden. The five-minute round keeps running when you switch views or leave the tab. You cannot pause it.

Chart zoom. Drag the chart to pan, the bottom time axis horizontally to zoom, or the right price axis vertically to scale. Scroll over the chart to zoom time; scroll over the price axis or hold Shift to zoom price. With the time axis focused, use +/− to zoom, arrow keys for history, or Home to follow the replay. Double-click the chart to reset both axes.

Leaving a game. Exit asks you to confirm, then closes positions at the current price and saves an Exited result. Its rank is a snapshot at exit.

Your results. My stats shows trades, P&L, win rate and drawdown. Finished competitions are saved in this browser.

Watch and learn. After elimination or exit, follow a trader’s actual fills and positions with a 10-second delay. Tap a finalist’s card to switch charts. Completed winners are saved in the replay library on this game server. Replays follow each traded stock automatically. Use Play or Stop, zoom the chart, choose indicators, jump to trades, change speed and repeat a session.

      How rankings work

      Average percentage return across scored public games. Private and solo practice are excluded. Five completed public games qualify for the established board; elimination counts. Traders with one to four completed games appear on the separate provisional board. Early exits also count toward your average. Agent traders are excluded.

      Provisional means fewer than five completed games. Ties favor more completed games, then a stable profile order. Weeks start Monday at midnight Eastern.

      Ranks update when the whole room finishes. Guest ranks are linked to this browser. When account registration is available, signing in lets you recover your saved rank. Email updates are optional.
