Hold or Fold? Stock Trading Game
Hold your nerve. Or take the exit.
You have a hypothetical $10,000 long position. Reveal one daily candle at a time. Hold on—or fold before the next candle opens.
Indicators & overlays
Calculated from daily closes, with up to 250 earlier sessions for initialization. Bollinger Bands use a simple average and population standard deviation; RSI uses Wilder smoothing. The 40/80-candle view changes the display, not the calculations. Future indicator values appear only after you answer.
Game rules & scoring
Start with a hypothetical $10,000 long position at the last visible close, using fractional shares. Hold reveals the next daily candle. Fold exits at the following session’s opening price, which is hidden when you decide; gaps can change your exit value. If you hold to the end, the position closes at the final session’s close.
Earn 25 XP for a completed round, 50 more for a positive return, and 25 more if your exit beats holding to the final close. Skipping earns no XP. Your record stays in this browser. Scores are game milestones, not evidence of trading skill.
Only closing-price returns are scored. The report also shows intraday drawdown while held. No fees, slippage, dividends, leverage, or stop-loss orders are modeled. Historical daily data follow the source files; corporate-action adjustment is not independently checked. This is a game using hypothetical positions, not investment advice.
