The rules.
- Everything is fictional. Every company, fund, price, index and profit is invented for learning. No real money is involved.
- Same market for everyone. All participants in a category face the identical, predefined 12-month price sequence.
- One ranked attempt per market. Before your first trade, choose a scenario and press Start ranked challenge in the simulator. Each browser gets one ranked attempt per category. Practice runs are unlimited but cannot be submitted.
- Finish all 12 months. Only completed years can be submitted. Resetting during a ranked run forfeits that attempt.
- Results are verified. When you submit, our server replays every trade you made against the official prices and calculates your result itself. Figures sent by the browser are never trusted.
- Highest virtual profit wins. Ties go to whoever submitted first. Use a nickname as your display name; it will be public.
- Fair play. Clearly offensive names or attempts to game the system may be removed.
Ranked attempts are tracked with a random ID stored in your browser and are limited per network. Clearing your browser data does not restore a used attempt in a fair way, so please play honestly. See Data & privacy.
