Hold on. Don't get rugged. — a volatility trading game
• Set your STAKE and LEV (−/+) before you trade — bigger stake or leverage means bigger swings both ways.
• Hold LONG to profit when price climbs, or SHORT to profit when it falls.
• Release to cash out whenever you like — profit or loss, it's yours.
• Optional AUTO-CLOSE (below the stake slider) can take-profit or stop-loss for you: while you hold, the position closes itself the moment profit hits +TP% or −SL% of your stake.
• A ⚠ VOLATILITY SPIKE warns of a crash — get out of LONGs in time.
• A 📈 MOMENTUM SURGE warns of a squeeze — get out of SHORTs in time.
• You only lose the stake if price actually moves hard against you during one of those — a false alarm costs nothing.
• In Paper, warnings are rumors — almost always real, but rarely DEBUNKED with a milder reversal squeeze.
• You don't have to wait for CONFIRMED/DEBUNKED — trading into a rumor the moment it appears gets you the best price if you're right, but you're gambling against the small chance it's fake. Waiting for the reveal is safer but slower.
• Big enough leverage can trigger a MARGIN CALL on its own, even outside a crash/surge — higher leverage always means more risk, not just more reward.
• Watch the TREND indicator — it hints which side has the edge right now. Rarely a 📢 MACRO SHIFT locks in a much longer, stronger bull or bear run.
• Spend profit on a higher Leverage Cap (up to 10×), Shield Charges + Shield Coverage (quantity and how much each one actually saves, both upgradable), Margin Insurance (permanently softens every liquidation, 1%→30%), and Bots (passive income, up to 50 of each).
• The HFT Server Farm builds load as it runs — a portion of the fleet can fail under pressure, not all of it. A Load Balancer upgrade slows that buildup.
• PUMP/WHALE plays (Paper only) manufacture a move for a real fee — but nobody moves a market with pocket change: you need $1M+ capital, and charges aren't buyable, only earned 2 per milestone (shared between both). Launching one takes ~1.5s to kick in, and there's a real chance it backfires.
• Follow up to 3 influencers (Shop) who call each rumor REAL or FAKE the moment it appears — pricier ones are righter. The priciest, The Oracle, also always shows the current trend.
• Switch to LIVE below to trade a real BTC/ETH feed — no scripted warnings there, just the real chart and your own judgment.
• 🎭 MYSTERY plays out a real historical stock, day by day, with its name hidden and the price rebased so the dollar level can't give it away. When it ends, you find out what it really was.
• Your balance carries over between Paper and Live — build it up safely, then take it live.
• The bar under the HUD tracks your next milestone on the way to the final goal: $100 TRILLION. Reach it and the run pauses to show your trade count, then you can keep trading right past it, or 🔄 REBIRTH for a permanent bot-income multiplier and a stacking +10% to winning-trade payouts — and once you've hit $100T, the 🔄 button in the top bar stays unlocked so you can Rebirth whenever you choose.
• Smaller milestones ($1K/$1M/$1B/$1T) pay a cash bonus, permanently discount one upgrade each, and grant 2 PUMP/WHALE charges (one shared pool for both) — upgrades are never locked, they just get cheaper once you've actually reached that scale.
• Top-bar tools: 📊 opens your trading stats (win rate, streaks, best/worst, avg hold), and 🔊 toggles sound effects.
• Your run saves automatically — closing or refreshing the tab won't reset you. The ↺ button wipes your save completely, including any Rebirth bonuses.
