Trading During a Game

During a traderFi game, an entire historical stock-market trading session is replayed in approximately five minutes.

You must make trading decisions as the market moves.

The trading screen

The game interface may display:

• Current market price
• Bid price
• Ask price
• BUY button
• SELL button
• Order quantity
• Open position
• Available buying power
• Current profit or loss
• Remaining game time
• Tournament ranking

How to buy

Select BUY when you want to open or increase a long position.

Before submitting the trade:

1. Enter or select your quantity.
2. Review the displayed market information.
3. Click BUY.
4. Confirm the order when required.
5. Check your open position.

How to sell

Select SELL when you want to:

• Close a long position
• Reduce a long position
• Open a short position, when permitted
• Increase an existing short position

How to close a position

To close a long position, submit a SELL order for the same number of shares.

To close a short position, submit a BUY order for the same number of shares.

Monitor your performance

During the game, regularly review:

• Open positions
• Position size
• Available virtual capital
• Realized profit and loss
• Unrealized profit and loss
• Remaining time
• Current tournament ranking

Market replay speed

The chart moves much faster than a normal trading session because a complete trading day is compressed into approximately five minutes.

Make sure you consider the accelerated speed when choosing your position size and trading frequency.
