Show HN: Play ten years of stock picking in an evening, on a simulated market
This is a stock picking game that simulates a stock market with thousands of rule based agents making trades and moving the stock price. The agents (not AI agents) have different rules to simulate different trading styles. The game layer is basically 12 companies/stocks you can buy and sell, and a clock you can advance on your own time. So you can play 10 years in one sitting, and see the results of your "long term thinking" and decision making. You can challenge friends to see who can

Version & cost evidence
Source votes: 1 votes (Oct 27, 2026 UTC; cumulative since publication); previous same-scope observation: 1 (Oct 27, 2026 UTC). These observations do not establish demand growth. Recent records to compare: “Show HN: AI-drop project – drop traffic fast from misbehaving crawlers (AGPL)” (Show HN, Nov 13, 2026); “Show HN: Wonderchat – A Zendesk alternative that doesn't charge per seat” (Show HN, Nov 13, 2026). Shared themes are navigation hints; they have not been verified as the same need or independent corroboration.
Who is affected
Identify the existing workflow this change affects before recommending an upgrade. Launch attention does not establish improvement; an API, pricing or availability change may instead create migration work.
Missing comparison points
Missing checks: old versus new behavior, affected plans and regions, availability date, compatibility, rollback path and cost under the same workload.
Migration check
Save the release or policy notice, run the same task on the old and new option, and compare outputs and the full bill. For retirement notices, verify the deadline before scheduling migration.
