SUPPORT
If you're enjoying playing Day Tradle, please consider supporting it directly using the link below. Any amount is very much appreciated, and supports hosting costs and future development. Absolutely none of the donations will be frittered away on day trading, probably.
ApplePay, PayPal, or cards are accepted.
Other non-financial support you can do, for which I will consider us square:
Stop playing loud music outdoors.
Don't set off fireworks.
Use public transit.
Do not recline your airplane seat on any flight under 4 hours.
Don't talk at the movie theater.
Thanks for playing!
ABOUT
DayTradle is a game meant to simulate the challenge and randomness of day trading. Each time you play, the game loads price data from large S&P500 companies from prior trading days. These are actual historical trading data, minute by minute.
Research shows that day trading almost always loses money. Most people are much better off making long term investments instead. But you're not most people...
Everyone starts with a $1,000 balance. There is no way to get more. How long can you make it last? Can you beat the market?
How to Play
Basics
Once you tap , the stock chart will begin to rise and fall.
Tap to invest all your money in the stock at the current price. Do this when you think the stock price will go up! Then tap to sell out of the position, back to neutral.
If you think the stock price is going to fall, tap to do a short sale of the stock. Tap to buy back the shares and close out the position.
Advanced
After tapping , you can tap directly on in order to sell the shares you own and immediately enter a short position. The opposite works as well.
Tap the pause button to pause the game.

FAQ
Q: Does the game ever end?
A: Yes, if you run out of your $1,000 you may no longer play.
Q: I lost my $1,000 but I still want to play the game, how do I get it back?
A: There is no way to continue playing once you've lost your initial $1,000. Go get some fresh air.
Q: Why does each trade cost $1, when in real life commission-free brokerages exist?
A: Nothing in life is free. When trading stocks with real money, there are other invisible costs (such as the spread between bid/ask, or the quality of the price that your broker is able to execute on). The $1 fee is representative of these costs.
Q: Does DayTradle faithfully represent all the nuance and technical skill required in real life day trading?
A: Pretty much, yes, except this game won't end your marriage.
Q: I'm great at DayTradle! Should I start day trading in real life?
A: No, day trading with real money is forever and always a sucker's game. But congratulations on being lucky on the internet.
Q: I have friends that day trade and they say this game is stupid and unrealistic because of x/y/z reasons.
A: Sounds like your friends were bad at this game.
Q: If real life day trading isn't legit, how can my favorite YouTuber make so much money doing it?
A: A potent combination of luck and lies.
Q: I don't believe you and am going to try day trading with real money anyway.
A: Fine, whatever. But on your way out check out all these studies that show how it almost always loses money, versus the literally zero studies that have found the opposite.
Q: Why is the game called DayTradle? Isn't that just a very un-clever rip-off of Wordle? This game is nothing like Wordle!
A: No it has nothing to do with that.
Q: If you're lying about not ripping off Wordle then why should I believe you about the rest of the day trading stuff?
A: Fair enough.
