You start with $100.000 and the goal is to make it grow. Do you have what it takes to reach a million? 

At the start of each round you get presented with a few months of historical market data to put everything in context. Based on what you see, you decide whether you want to take a position or stay in cash. Does it look like the stock will go up? Go LONG. Does it look like it will go down? Go SHORT. Not sure? Reduce the position size or close the position altogether! 

When the game ends youll see which stock and time period you traded. The end-screen stats are useful for better understanding the game you just played. It creates a rapid feedback-loop with insight you can take with you to the next round.

After each round we record a few notable numbers which alone dont say much, but together say everything. See how your portfolio evolves over time as well as other metrics such as hit percent and relative performance. Putting the graphs next to each other creates a more complete image of why your portfolio goes as it goes. (And it looks good for the screenshots you send to your friends)
