Help

Pick a difficulty, take the starting capital, and buy one thing. The market moves in game-minutes; one real second is one game-minute at 1× speed, and time only moves when the simulation is running.

Open Trade, pick a symbol from the list, set a share count, and press Buy. Market orders fill immediately at the ask. Limit orders wait for your price and sit in the orders list until they fill or you cancel them.

Net worth is cash plus everything you hold. Day P&L is what changed since the open. Everything else is detail you can safely ignore until you want it.

A run ends if net worth falls below 5% of where you started. You get warnings before that happens, and the risk page will tell you which shocks you could not survive before one arrives.

B buys, S sells, Space pauses, H opens help mode, and Cmd-K opens the command palette. The palette is the fastest way to reach any of the pages that are not in the main navigation.

Anything not answered here is worth asking about on the contact page. Questions that come up twice end up on this page.

Everything you can change is below — how the game looks, what it sounds like, what it assumes about how you read it, and what happens to your save. All of it lives in this browser; there is no account and no server copy. Your data is last because it is the only part that is irreversible.
