Stock trader simulator

Real traders work around the opening bell and the closing bell. Institutional traders sit at dense desks, while retail day traders work alone at home. Both groups face screen fatigue and high emotional stress.

In LifeSim, you play the life that happens around those market hours. When you go flat and close your positions for the day, you leave your desk. You text friends, go on dates, and visit family across a real 3D city.

Your coworkers, boss, and partner have their own routines and memories. If you cancel an outing in London or Tokyo because of a bad day, they remember it. You can join map happenings like birthday drinks, karaoke, or a pickup game in a park.

Other games build full financial mechanics that LifeSim does not have. Wall Street Raider gives you deep charts to trade stocks, options, and bonds or launch corporate takeovers. STONKS-9800: Stock Market Simulator lets you buy shares in 1980s Japan while managing stress.

The Invisible Hand puts you in a first-person office with daily profit quotas. Insider Trading is a roguelike deckbuilder where you play cards to move stock prices. If you want real market practice without risk, paper trading on TradingView or Thinkorswim is best.

LifeSim does not simulate stock charts, level 2 order books, or bid-ask spreads. Instead, it gives you a real Earth map and open text conversations. You play the human story of a trader in your own words.

Maya, 22, starts as a junior analyst at a bank near Wall Street in New York City. Right before lunch, she makes a fat-finger error and types an extra zero on a buy order. She sets a daily to-do item to talk to her desk manager before the closing bell.

She searches the map for a cafe in Midtown Manhattan and invites a veteran trader there. They walk to the spot together, and she asks for his advice in her own words. He remembers this conversation later in the week and checks on her by text.

On Saturday, Maya needs a break from talking about liquidity, slippage, and stop-loss orders. Her roommates start a group text and invite her to a house party in Brooklyn. Going to the party helps her relationships after a hard week.

You play Marcus, an options trader in Chicago. In the morning, you check your calendar and daily to-do list before heading to LaSalle Street. You walk to the Chicago Board Options Exchange in The Loop, which shows from the outside on the map.

During the day, you text a quant coworker from Citadel Securities about automated Python scripts. You meet a friend from Jump Trading at a cafe to talk about bull and bear markets. Your chats and activities change your cash, health, and relationships.

In the evening, you see a grand opening happening on the map and walk there. You talk with neighbors in your own words until night falls. The day ends with a recap of your moments, and time moves to the next morning.
