Day Trading Simulator with $500k Virtual Bankroll – Looking for Feedback

#6, #9, #10 all now done. along with some minor tweeks here and there. I keep forgetting to fix the resetting .. lol, that will be in the next update.

Please if you have a chance ... go and break it! I know there are a few issues with the zooming on charts with gaps and its also the first iteration of this so ...

I'm just gonna point out the negatives.

3) I have no way of stopping the chart once it starts. I don't wanna be doing this for 6 hours. Also we should be able to control the speed, eg. play at 2x, 4x, etc.

I've added the ability to start the simulation at any time now instead of it defaulting to the open. Kinda fixes being able to speed it up in a different way.

Cool. I'll check it out, likely over this weekend, and get back to you with further issues, if any.

Also you need to quote me in your reply, otherwise I wouldn't even know you replied.
 
@schizo

I finally added the total reset for the simulator:

then just click 'Yes'

then select your bankroll: (should I add mill as an option? :))

Ive got the leaderboard/challenge logic mapped out just need to implement it. Hopefully soon. Cheers!

Yup, that worked.

But before I put on my critic's hat, have you considered my earlier suggestion about getting rid of the ticker symbol entirely in order to prevent cheating? Anyone with charting software can clearly go back in time and see what happened. If you get rid of the ticker, nobody would know what they were trading.

Anyway, back on topic, I notice right off the bat the date/time ain't working as inteded or maybe you don't have the data for the recent dates. For example, when I input 09/04/2024, I get the following error message and it reverts back to 07/05/2024.

But that's just a minor nuisance. The real pain is with the chart itself. First, why is the chart locked? That is, why can't I scroll forward or backward in time? As a student of price action, I need to know what happened in the past. And to know that, I also need to draw lines like trendlines and support and resistance. None of that can be done with the current interface.

Second point is along the same line as the first. Why is there only 1 minute timeframe? How about giving us the choice to select 5, 30, 60 as well?

And I think I've already mentioned this earlier, but I don't wanna sit here and watch this damn thing like I would in realtime. You need to give us an option to speed it up (normal speed, 2x, 5x, 10x). This should be a no-brainer IMO.

What else? Oh, yeah, the order bottons (buy, sell, etc). Why are there so damn many? You should only have BUY, SELL, REVERSE, and FLAT. Anything else is simply redundant.

Lastly, if you're at all serious about trading, you'd know how important stop orders are. So why not offer us OCO btacket orders, if that's possible. For instance, once the order is placed, both stop and profit target orders are placed at the same time.

That's all for now. I'm sure there are more though.

Thanks again for the feedback. As for the removing the ticker, thats part of the plan as it relates to the leaderboard. We'll have the random/challenge mode where the ticker will be hidden and the leaderboard will then default to showing trades for these hidden tickers.

I don't have full access to all market data, that will come in time. For now I have 20 new tickers per day for now based on top gainers. In the interim Ill probably whittle that down to 10 top gainers and then some other static ones I want to always have current data on. (ex NVDA, TSLA) (side-note i have support for a 3rd part api that gives 20 free tickers per day - but I commented it thinking it wouldnt be used - interested in testing this part?)

You can instantly jump to any time in the chart by changing the time and clicking restart AT ANY TIME during an active simulation

for now thats how its accomplished, but totally understand its essential to be able to scroll easily back in time and you can also do this in a roundabout way with the zoom in the lower right corner

horizontal lines are in place and im working on adding other lines as we speak.

Yes the speed up is uber simple literally 1 variable, I just need to add it to the interface

As far as order buttons, the aim was to have it for as wide an audience as possible so thats what we see. Im open to changing it or better yet making it configurable

And yes limit/bracket orders are on the list .. rome wasn't built in a day! ;)

I've actually been working on it all day today so perfect timing on the message.
