Start with $10,000 and a hunch. Turn it into a fortune, or lose it all. Stock Market Sim is a deep, career-driven trading game where the market never sleeps and your day job matters just as much as your portfolio. Buy low, sell high, short the overpriced, and build a life to go with it. TRADE LIKE IT'S REAL - A living market simulation with realistic price movement, boom-and-bust macro cycles, and earnings season whisper numbers that move stocks before the news even breaks. - Go long or short: profit whether stocks rise or fall. - Trade options (calls and puts) for real leverage. - Track dividends, sector exposure, portfolio beta, and a full watchlist. - Compete against AI "ghost traders" running their own value, momentum, and hedge strategies. BUILD A LIFE, NOT JUST A PORTFOLIO - Climb a 9-tier career ladder from Intern to CEO, training real skills that sharpen your trading: negotiation cuts your slippage, analysis reveals fair value, and senior titles unlock edges of their own. - Live through it: recessions can cost you your job, booms bring raises, headhunters come calling with better offers, and tasks can go better or worse than planned. - Spend your winnings across five lifestyle categories, from vehicles to travel to hobbies, and open doors that stay closed to the broke. INVEST LIKE A GROWN-UP - Real risk-bearing assets alongside your stock portfolio: startups that exit big or go to zero, funds that ride the economic cycle with lockup periods, and real estate that pays steady rent. - Everything counts toward your net worth, and most positions can be sold when you need the cash. NEW: FOUND YOUR OWN COMPANY - Start a company from scratch and run it your way: cut costs, reinvest, or hire aggressively. - Live decisions hit as they happen. A key engineer threatens to quit, a lawsuit lands, a viral moment goes global. How you respond shapes the company's fate. - Raise funding rounds to fuel growth through Seed, Series A, Series B, and Growth. - Exit on your terms: sell to a private company all the way public in your own IPO. CHASE THE LEADERBOARD - Climb the Legacy Rank ladder from CLE. - Unlock 56 achievements across trading, career, and life milestones. - Check in daily for a cash bonus. Hold a 7-day streak for a bigger payout. Built for iPhone, iPad, Mac, and Apple Vision Pro, with full VoiceOver support and a Reduce Motion mode for anyone who wants a calmer ride. The floor is yours. Good luck out there.

On price and ads there is nothing between them.
