About

Pro Trading Life

You're broke, you live with your parents, and you have $50. But you have something nobody else has: charts. Pro Trading Life is a pixel-art trading life-sim. You trade on real, live price charts - wrapped in a fictional world - with a full trading interface: long or short, stop loss, take profit and leverage. Get too greedy? Margin call, account liquidated, game over. Permadeath, every single time. Claw your way up from the attic room to the penthouse. Learn to read chart patterns, build passive income from property and businesses as your safety net, and finally dare to go big. Your score = days survived x peak net worth. Every run is unique, because the market never repeats. WHAT YOU DO - Trade with real candlesticks and live prices: long, short, stop loss, take profit - Use leverage that multiplies your profit... and your loss - Build an empire of property and businesses for passive income - Level up skills to unlock indicators (MA, volume, RSI) - Short sessions, one hand, just-one-more-run Note: Pro Trading Life is a game, not financial advice. All assets and money in the game are entirely fictional. No real money is ever staked or paid out.
