After figuring out how to play, this game ended up being really fun. The game really needs an in-game tutorial at some point, but for now the PDF file in game folder helped me. I didn't realize you had to right click to place down the buttons on the chart. Will be following this with interest. Er, pun not intended.
The game is constantly zoomed in. This can not be changed an has made the game unplayable.
[h1]If you have any interest in how day trading works this is a fun and interesting game to figure it out.[/h1] Warning: It does [b]NOT[/b] hold your hand. After reading the tutorial, you will have to figure out things for yourself with either research or trial and error. [i]@ the developer, Thank you for creating this! I think there should be more games like this, keep up the good work! :)[/i] [h3]The Good:[/h3][list] [*]Simplistic Design. [*]Acceptable Graphics and Sound effects that fit the game. [*]I really like that it calls out the patterns of the Candlesticks [i] @developer it would be great if there was a guide that let you know what they mean[/i] [*]Uses Real historical Stock Data to learn. [*]Excellent game for the price (free) and worth at least $5 imho.[/list] [h3]The Bad:[/h3][list] [*]There is not a tutorial or an example INSIDE the game to help you get started. There is a really well done tutorial that is within the game files that can be found here: *YOUR DRIVE*\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Hyperbolic Arcade Trading [i]@developer, something as simple as creating a link that opens it would be great [/i] [*]The music gets really loud for a few seconds before the day ends which is really off putting. [*]I did come across a bug that required a restart of the game. (none of the buttons showed up on the screen.) [*]when you use the "CXL ALL" button, the other buttons don't go in their original place.[/list]

Fun, but needs tool-tips and a quick orientation session. Cool mechanics once you get the hang of it.
Fun game, would help if the chart zoomed out more and only getting candle close information is hard to trade with
Pretty good game, even from day one. I haven't even seen any bugs. The menus need a little bit of life but overall pretty good. Needs an in game tutorial too.
Аркадный симулятор биржевой торговли. Ничего не понятно, но очень интересно )))
On my computer it does not go full screen so i cant see all the trading options , so this game is not functioning for me. if they fix this than it could potentially be a good game to play and learn valuable skills from.
Nice game, but not really a training app. First of all, to have at least a hope to learn something, you need to do so without a rush. This game is forcing you to make rushed and bad decisions by going too fast with these candlesticks. Not even a professional can trade in a 2-second timeframe. Unless it's a scalper, but for scalping, you'll need more than candlesticks - you need tick data in form of order history ("the tape") and the order book. Obviously, this game wasn't made with this in mind, so... 1. New candles should appear by pressing a key, not time passed. This way the other training software work. Because you should think every trade through (even if you have the strategy, it takes time to check everything), and after that also look and think about the consequences without a rush. Trading by instinct is either myth or for those who made their homework many years ago. 2. In this game, I can't set the short stop-loss, thus forcing me to take bigger risks. Yes, it's a common mistake new people do - stop loss is just unnecessarily far from the entry point, especially when trading levels. 3. Asset selection, multiple time period selection for every asset, maybe user-downloaded historical data files. You can't really jump randomly from one asset to another, and especially from one market to another. You need to learn one or two assets at first. And more importantly, do not jump from one market to another. While it's all the same candlestick charts, crypto and stocks are totally different worlds, and you'll need to adapt to the new reality when going from one market to another. And sometimes, you just can't adapt - one market can be just not your piece of the pie, while you can make money in another. This also often true for the certain subsets of assets of the exchange, or even just one stock/pair. 4. The spread and commission should be simulated. This might sound like boring and trivial stuff, but you'll learn it the hard way when you'll lose 30% of your money in one hour by using market orders in the price channel without such a big deal on the chart. (You probably can't get the actual spreads, but maybe some approximation with random elements will suffice) I wish you luck with this development. I've seen some trading games (I mean not actual trading simulation software), but they all were just garbage. This one at least has something meaningful. But for now, it's gambling, but not trading.
Absolutely awesome. not tutorial on how to play though when you start so its hard to figure out controls
