About the Game

TradingLife is an immersive, loop-based trading simulation made for traders and anyone interested in trading.

Premise

You lost everything—your capital, your confidence, even your last way out was erased by the market.

Just as despair finally hollowed you out, a rift in time opens up and pulls you into real historical price action, giving you one chance to start over.

This time, you swear you’ll take back everything that should have been yours.

But the rift doesn’t open for free—it runs on profit as fuel.
At every settlement, you must be profitable. Otherwise, the rift collapses, and the loop begins again.

Gameplay | Rules of Survival in the Loop

  • Each round, you randomly draw an instrument and “travel” to a random week in history.

  • To prevent memory and information advantages, the game “future-shifts” time and hides key price information, forcing you to make decisions using only what you can see in the moment.

  • Every 4 rounds form one settlement cycle:

    • Net profit > 0 during the cycle → earn rewards and move forward

    • Net profit ≤ 0 → the loop resets, and you begin a new “life”

Your goal isn’t to “predict the market.”
It’s to survive repeated settlements, review your actions, restart, and gradually forge a trading system that’s stable, repeatable, and transferable to real trading.

A Market Environment That’s Uncomfortably Real

  • All candlestick data comes from real historical 1-minute bars and is built directly into the game—no extra downloads required.

  • Currently supported markets: Crypto / Gold (XAU) / Forex (FX)

  • Real-time price presentation is generated based on the current 1-minute bar’s OHLC and recent volatility patterns, using algorithms to make the rhythm and “feel” closer to live markets.

Professional-Grade Tools That Turn Training Into Results

  • Indicators, timeframes, drawing tools, and a full order system (including limit orders, breakout orders, and more)

  • Journaling system: customizable journal templates to record entry rationale, risk plans, execution details, and emotional state

  • Journal tables support filtering and statistical analysis: compare performance across different trade types and quickly identify what truly works for you

Unlimited Practice

Any historical round you’ve traded can be replayed indefinitely.

Use it to correct mistakes, validate strategies, and train discipline—until the right actions become automatic.

Sharpen the blade before the fight.
Loop again and again, until you can confidently—

live the trading life.
