Hi PH community, I'm Nick, the founder of UpDown, a highly gamified mobile application for stock investment. With over 15 years of experience in the stock market, I've been fortunate enough to achieve considerable success. However, investing is an ever-changing landscape without any definitive rules. As investors, we must continuously learn and experiment with new strategies. That's why I set out to create a simulator that utilizes real data, allowing me to apply fundamental and technical trade signals. Here are some noteworthy features of our app: • Authentic Data: Our app utilizes 100% real data, ensuring a realistic investment experience. • Technical Trade Signals: Experience the simulation of technical trade signals such as 'golden' and 'dead cross,' as well as 'volume spikes,' enabling you to explore different trading strategies. • Motivating Gameplay: We've incorporated game mechanisms into the app to keep you engaged and motivated as you navigate the stock market. • Social Features: Enjoy interacting with like-minded individuals through our social features, where you can discuss and share content related to investments. I encourage you to try the app yourself and let me know if it not only motivates you but also enhances your real-world investment endeavors. We are committed to improving UpDown by adding more trade signals, replay contents, a league feature, educational materials, and much more. Your support and feedback are invaluable in accelerating our development efforts. Thank you for your attention, and we look forward to your participation in shaping the future of UpDown. Best regards, Nick

How did you guys simulate the stock market? Of course, it may be your secret sauce, but this is the biggest problem with demo accounts these days, they tend to give you a false impression of markets being kind to you, and then you lose the whole capital going to the real market.

@igorpavlov Hi there, Thank you for your interest! We use real historical price data, so it is not randomly simulated. Currently, we offer approximately 2 months of price chart to play, and you can continuously choose up / down depending on your decision. As you mentioned, we try not to add bias to reflect the real market. There are some constraints though like minimum market capital, volume, and more to choose presets to serve. So far, statistics and the battle results seem to reflect the level of trading skills in real life. If you have any other questions, opinions, or complaints feel free to comment. Again thank you for your interest!

@nickkkkkkkk I think it is important to make demo trading "risky" as well, somehow, not sure. And make , I mean, MAKE, people rest after either successful trades or not, because the problem is, with demo account, you play non stop, if you do in real trading, you'll burn the account fast due to emotions.

@igorpavlov We think it's very important to raise awareness about emotional and ruthless trading, as you mentioned. Our team wants to help investors accumulate a lot of learning so that they can ultimately get better results in their actual investments. And we think what you mentioned is something that investors should definitely be able to learn from the UpDown. Thanks for the feedback and we'll definitely think about how we can incorporate this into the app!
