The Trading Game

The Trading Game is a stock market simulation with very simple mechanics, playable on a phone screen in contrast to traditional (mouse and keyboard) interfaces. The game shows a single stock at a time, represented by a line that goes up and down with price. The player must press the screen with a finger to purchase the stock, and hold to keep the stock. Removing their finger will sell the stock. The goal is to time presses so that the player buys when low and sells when high. After each round the player is given a summary of their gains, then the next round begins with a new stock.
