About RugPull.trade

A free, browser-based trading simulation game.

RugPull.trade is a reflex trading game built around one simple idea: you only hold a position for as long as you physically hold down the LONG or SHORT button. Release it, and you cash out — profit or loss, whatever the price did while your finger was down. There's no order book, no confirmation dialog, no "are you sure" — just your thumb, a moving price line, and the discipline to let go at the right moment.

It started as a simple idea — what if the core tension of trading (do I get out now, or hold a little longer?) could be distilled into a single physical gesture — and grew from there into a full idle-economy game with its own internal logic: shields and insurance to soften bad exits, bots that earn while you're away, milestones that pay out as your balance climbs from $100 toward $100 trillion, and a permanent Rebirth loop for players who make it all the way there.

Three ways to play

Paper is a fully synthetic market with a telegraphed rumor system — a warning flashes before a crash or a surge, and you have a couple of seconds to decide whether to believe it. Most rumors are real. Some are debunked. You can also follow paid influencers who call each rumor before it resolves, with varying accuracy.

Live drops the scripting entirely and trades a real BTC/USDT or ETH/USDT feed pulled straight from Binance's public market data — no warnings, no telegraphs, just the actual market and your own read of it.

Mystery plays back a real historical stock or crypto chart — day by day, rebased so the raw price can't give away the ticker — with the company's name redacted until the run ends. You're trading history without knowing which moment in history it is, which turns out to be a surprisingly good way to learn how little the "obvious in hindsight" story actually helps in the moment.

Not real trading

RugPull.trade is entertainment and a way to build intuition about volatility, leverage, and risk — it is not a real trading platform, involves no real money at any point, and nothing in it should be taken as financial advice. The name is a wink at real crypto slang for exactly the kind of manipulation the game lets you simulate (and get burned by) with zero real stakes.
