I fuckin did it!

It’s a little scary to learn that the reason the stock market graphs are always so jagged minute to minute through the day is because of people like these.

The couch can remain irrational longer than I can remain solvent.

Small request, can you add the couch’s win pct next to the number of games it has won? I’m lazy

Thanks!

I won. Does that mean I should start betting on stocks? Ok.

I beat 9/10 monkeys! Damn I'm good, I should do this for real!

Spamming the trade buttons seems to be a good strategy

Wtf it's harder than I imagined

U r sure it's not "be at the couch"

These are always good counter arguments to technical analysis. But I’d love to see something where you get industry news surrounding the stocks and have to see if you can also trade based on the news and noise or if the couch wins there.

Fucking brilliant ! 👏👏

I played maybe 15 games. I won one in 99th percentile and lost one in like 40th.

You main visual is the market line, but I would make the main visual the competing lines of you vs couch, whether that’s bars or also graphed on the market. Otherwise, you’re sort of burying the mental image you want people to take away.

There’s also times where the market went completely south, so I did nothing, and got the “enlightened” position.

It’s a neat micro-game, but it comes off as preachy. Maybe that’s your intent, but being preachy can really turn people off. That maybe not your intent.

I would like a slider mode. It's very hard to do any sensible strategy with an all or nothing approach. If market goes up by 30% I want to progressively sell and vice versa

I won!

Interesting game. You could add crypto currencies for fun factor. Beating the couch in bitcoin trading could be an interesting challange

As far as I can tell it only used stock that "won". In that scenario, beating the couch is hard luck. But stock that ends up on 0, you could win more easily.

In real life I live off of that, so a couch won't always win 😋

Not my feedback: RSI indicator requested for the chart.

Maybe add a volume chart to measure market activity, a candle stick chart to see the intra day OHLC and a moving average line chart. Just to see if people fare better compared to just an end of day line chart.

Love it, tyu.

Is your point here that holding assets over a long period of time always pays off more than selling high and buying low?

There is really no strategy to this, I just waited it out and the highest point was at the end, as was to be expected, never mind compounded interest over recurring investments or portfolio diversification.

Also I don't understand why the other player is a couch?
