A look inside
See how it plays before you decide to buy
Three steps to see how a round works, then six full screens to flip through — all real in-game captures, not mockups.

Four spaces
Every new door opens because you learned the thing before it
Unlocks are gated by what you know, not by grind — each door tells you why it's only opening now.
The ForgeSTRATEGIES
One strategy per level. Clearing it means you've lived through every way it makes and loses money — and computed the P&L yourself in the settlement quiz.
The BattlefieldMATCHUPS
Monsters are market scenarios; gear is the strategies you've forged. To read a monster, fight it with three different pieces of gear and find the A-grade answer.
The BazaarPRICING
Switch seats — this time you're the one selling the ticket. Watch your quote get arbitraged, back out what the market is pricing in, read the option chain — and walk away with a yardstick for pricing.
The Trial TowerGET REAL
Bid-ask spreads, margin, assignment at expiry — the rules tighten floor by floor until they match a real brokerage account. The friction is the badge of honor, not a difficulty setting.
Only one thing gets graded
We grade decisions, not outcomes
Every strategy is replayed 3,000 times
One round's P&L is a footnote written by luck; the grade comes from the long-run statistics of 3,000 Monte Carlo replays — a good decision that lost money is still a good decision.
Get the math right or it doesn't count
Every round ends with you working out the P&L by hand — probability, move size, time horizon and cost are all stated up front. No hidden parameters. 300+ automated math checks guard every number on screen.
The only thing you get hooked on is progress
Collect endings, light up the codex, build streaks — never a P&L leaderboard, never a nudge to chase your losses.
🪞 The Behavior Mirror
Going “On Tilt” by sizing up during a losing streak, earning the “Hardhead Award” for hitting the same wall three times — anti-patterns go into the Hall of Shame, and every trigger condition is public. The mirror only names things. It doesn't grade you, and it doesn't stop you.
