Terminal Trader

A retro terminal-style day trading game where one wrong move gets you fired.

๐Ÿ’ผ You've Been Hired. Don't Screw This Up.

Welcome to your new job as a day trader at the most demanding (and possibly illegal) trading firm in the digital wasteland. Your boss doesn't care about your feelings. Your boss cares about profit.

Every day, you get ONE chance. Hit your target or you're fired. No second chances. No excuses.

๐Ÿ“ˆ The Rules Are Simple (The Execution Isn't)

  • Buy stocks when they're low
  • Sell stocks when they're high
  • Hit your daily profit target or pack your desk

Sounds easy? Wait until Day 3.

๐Ÿ”ด Every 3rd Day is a BOSS DAY

Just when you think you've got the hang of it, your boss throws a wrench in your gears:

  • ๐Ÿšซ MARKET BLACKOUT - Half your stocks disappear
  • ๐Ÿ’ธ MARGIN CALL - You start with 20% less capital
  • โฐ DELAYED OPENING - Market opens 2 hours late
  • ๐Ÿ“‰ MARKET CHAOS - Stocks go absolutely wild
  • โšก TIME CRUNCH - The clock moves 50% faster
  • ๐Ÿ‘๏ธ BLIND TRADING - All your indicators shut off

Boss days separate the traders from the tourists.

๐Ÿ’ฐ FLOP Programs: Risk It For The Bonus

Before each trading day, you can activate a FLOP bonus program:

Want a 30% bonus? Hit 50% profit. Want to play it safe? Smaller goals, smaller rewards.

Choose wisely. Choose greedily. Choose wrong and you're still fired.

๐ŸŽฎ Features

  • Retro CRT terminal aesthetics with authentic scan lines and screen flicker
  • Procedurally generated news events that tank or pump your stocks
  • Candlestick charts because you're a REAL trader now
  • Boss day modifiers that make you question your career choices
  • Permadeath roguelike progression - one failure ends your run
  • Increasingly brutal difficulty - Day 1 is tutorial, Day 30 is hell

๐Ÿ“Š Key Mechanics

Market Simulation

  • Real-time price action with momentum and volatility
  • News events that impact individual stocks, sectors, or the entire market
  • Technical indicators to guide your trades (when they're not disabled)

Strategic Depth

  • Choose FLOP bonus programs for risk/reward optimization
  • Survive boss day handicaps with limited information
  • Balance aggressive trading with capital preservation

Career Mode

  • Track your lifetime earnings across runs
  • Unlock your highest day reached
  • Build winning streaks (or lose them spectacularly)

๐Ÿ’€ You Will Fail

The market doesn't care about your feelings. Your boss definitely doesn't care about your feelings. The clock keeps ticking. The target keeps rising. The boss days keep coming.

How long can you survive?

๐ŸŽฏ Perfect For

  • Fans of roguelike punishment
  • People who think they understand the stock market (they don't)
  • Anyone who enjoys retro terminal aesthetics
  • Traders looking for a game that captures market anxiety
  • Masochists who want "just one more day"

โš ๏ธ WARNING

This game will make you:

  • Question your decision-making skills
  • Develop a Pavlovian fear of Day 3
  • Compulsively check candlestick patterns
  • Yell "I HAD ONE MINUTE LEFT" at your screen
  • Say "one more run" at 3 AM
