The competition
Five sessions. $100 each. One ranking.
You will play five trading sessions. Each starts with a fresh $100, so $500 in all. Every session is a real asset's price scrolling forward one day at a time, with the name and dates hidden. Buy and sell on timing alone. Your five results are summed, and you are ranked against everyone else.
Buy puts all your money into the asset; Sell moves it back to cash.
Each session is a random 1,000-day window of a hidden asset. You do not choose which.
No fees, no shorting. Just timing.
Pick a nickname to enter. This is all we store, no email, no other details.
Practice mode: no competition server is connected yet, so your scores are saved only on this device. Once the backend is deployed and the game points at it, the shared leaderboard turns on automatically.
Replaying: choose a new nickname. A name that has already played cannot be reused.

These results are idealised. They do not include trading fees, taxes, bid-ask spreads, or any other real-life expenses, all of which would lower an actual return.
