From $0 to $100,000,000. One trade at a time. You start with nothing but ambition and a margin account. Make high-stakes trading decisions, ride market chaos, and climb from broke intern to living legend of Wall Street — or blow up your account trying. MAKE THE CALL Every decision matters. Double down on a winning position or take profits? Chase the meme rally or stick to your thesis? Each choice moves your portfolio, your stress, and your edge — and the market doesn't forgive hesitation. PICK YOUR STRATEGY • Momentum — ride the trend until it bends • Value — buy fear, sell greed • Quant — let the models do the talking • Macro — trade the big picture • Crypto — fortune favors the degens • Arbitrage — free money, if you're fast enough FIND YOUR STYLE Play it disciplined, go full aggressive, move markets like a whale, or fade the crowd as a contrarian. Your style shapes every outcome. MANAGE THE PRESSURE Profits are only half the game. Stress builds with every risky trade — burn out and your performance collapses. Keep your edge sharp to grow your portfolio even while you sleep. And whatever you do, don't get margin called. CLIMB THE RANKS Broke → Intern → Analyst → Associate → VP → Director → Managing Director → Partner → Legend. Nine tiers stand between you and trading immortality. FEATURES • Dozens of high-stakes trading decisions • Random market events that can make or break you • 20+ achievements to unlock • 6 trading strategies × 4 trader styles for unique runs • Sleek Bloomberg-terminal-inspired dark UI • Quick sessions — play a career in minutes No real money. No real risk. All the adrenaline. The market is open. What's your first move?
