Fucking brilliant ! 👏👏

Interesting game. You could add crypto currencies for fun factor. Beating the couch in bitcoin trading could be an interesting challange
The couch can remain irrational longer than I can remain solvent.
I fuckin did it!


first and best use of this meme. i should think of some easter eggs related to this... congrats and hope you liked it (was a nice couch)
These are always good counter arguments to technical analysis. But I’d love to see something where you get industry news surrounding the stocks and have to see if you can also trade based on the news and noise or if the couch wins there.
Wtf it's harder than I imagined
U r sure it's not "be at the couch"
It’s a little scary to learn that the reason the stock market graphs are always so jagged minute to minute through the day is because of people like these.
there's opportunity in trading. but to assume you'll get the benefit is very similar to assuming you'll beat the casino. it's possible, but unlikely, especially in the long term.
Small request, can you add the couch’s win pct next to the number of games it has won? I’m lazy
Thanks!
done, refresh a few times to see it
I beat 9/10 monkeys! Damn I'm good, I should do this for real!

I won. Does that mean I should start betting on stocks? Ok.
Spamming the trade buttons seems to be a good strategy
Maybe add a volume chart to measure market activity, a candle stick chart to see the intra day OHLC and a moving average line chart. Just to see if people fare better compared to just an end of day line chart.
I would like a slider mode. It's very hard to do any sensible strategy with an all or nothing approach. If market goes up by 30% I want to progressively sell and vice versa
it's over two years so while not long term, it's not short either. lots of ups and downs. but i'm thinking of adding a career mode with 2x10 years, start with 10k, see where you end up kind of thing.
That one would be almost impossible to beat unless you recognise the the boom/bust cycle. It sounds interesting
As far as I can tell it only used stock that "won". In that scenario, beating the couch is hard luck. But stock that ends up on 0, you could win more easily.
In real life I live off of that, so a couch won't always win 😋
I got 2 years just post 1929 and the only reason I won was I sold early and only lost 30% of the 10k, the couch lost 6k.
it uses S&P500 which isn't necessarily winning stocks. although it wins over the long term, lots of losing years are included here.
i only tried 3 or 4 times and it always was a winner (for that period), so my comment shall be disregarded if there are also loosing stocks in the same ratio :)
