Read the tape. Ride the wave. Die by leverage.
GOD CANDLE is a real-time trading roguelite. You get a $1,000,000 book and ten trading days to retire. Each day is a 45-second sprint through market hours — go long, go short, lever up, and clear the closing-bell target, or the margin clerk shuts the desk down.
Every run is a different market
•Choose your ticker each morning from a shortlist with volatility and behavior readouts — ten of them, from sleepy $GLD to pure-chaos $GME.
•Nine market-event bosses: Earnings Day, FOMC, Squeeze Watch, Flash Crash, Melt-Up, Quad Witching, Circuit Breaker, OPEX Pin, and The Bear.
•Ten daily market conditions on top — Volatility Storm, Algo Chop, Data Blackout, Gamma Ramp, Zero Commission Day, and more.
•Shuffled boss order, jittered targets, rerolled tickers. No two runs play the same.
Build a gloriously broken trader
•Four classes, each with an exclusive two-power kit: The Chad rides 5x leverage, The Quant sees six ticks into the future, The Cockroach refuses to die, The Insider gets a free tip line that rings four times a day.
•29 relics and 16 powers. Draft one of three after every bell, or perma-install tools with Street Cred so they're live from day one.
•Relics that reward a style — scalping, diamond-handing, hot streaks — and light up when you pair the right ones.
•Print the GOD CANDLE: a divine, screen-shaking vertical candle straight into your position.
Read the tape, not the headline
•Earnings follow guidance, not the EPS print. A beat can tank. A miss can rip.
•Every ticker hides a good, mid, or bad book. You infer it from noisy sector-relative signals — and some of those signals are cooked.
•Draw stop orders straight onto the chart. Trim, flip, and scale mid-tape.
•Optional side contracts every morning, paid at the bell. Tempting. Never mandatory.
The floor has opinions
•26 in-day floor events with real stakes: take the bribe, buy the hot tip, ride the pump, park cash in real estate, wine, or art — decisions that pay off, or detonate, the next day.
•Rare gold JACKPOT and red DISASTER events that can make or end a run.
Then do it again, harder
•Four difficulties from Rookie to Prop Desk, then Ascension on top.
•A seeded Daily Gauntlet — same market for everyone, every day.
•Endless mode for when ten days stops being enough.
•29 achievements, Career records per class, a Hall of Fame, and a leaderboard.
•A Trophy Room of ten chart skins bought with Street Cred.
Built for it
•Procedural synth soundtrack and per-action SFX, synthesized in-engine.
•Colorblind palette, UI scaling, and toggles for screen shake, extra effects, and CRT scanlines.
•Steam Cloud saves. Runs on a laptop.
Every death is your own greed. Retire forever — or get liquidated.
