Leaving Early Access: February 2027

What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“We’re releasing TradingLife in Early Access because the game is built around learning, iteration, and mastery—and we believe the best way to refine that experience is through ongoing, direct feedback from real players.
Early Access lets us stay in close communication with the community, polish the core experience, and experiment with additional features and content that make the trading loop more engaging and useful.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“We expect Early Access to last around one year. That said, we’ll focus on shipping meaningful improvements and updates as they’re ready, based on development progress and community feedback.”

How is the full version planned to differ from the Early Access version?

“The Early Access version already contains a complete core gameplay loop (weekly rounds, trading long/short, risk controls, settlement/looping, journaling and review).
For the full release, we plan to expand and polish the experience, which may include:

More content: additional instruments/markets and more historical data coverage

More gameplay depth: new mechanics and progression options that enhance long-term replayability.

Better onboarding: improved tutorials, guidance, and quality-of-life features to help players learn faster.

Community-driven creation: deeper support for user-generated content via the Workshop (see below), plus better discovery and sharing tools.

Overall polish: UI/UX improvements, balancing, performance optimizations, and expanded customization

Our overall goal is to make TradingLife a game you can keep replaying—while steadily building skills that translate cleanly from simulation into real-world trading workflows.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“Early Access is playable and complete in its core loop. You can:

Choose instruments and trade long or short.

Use capital and manage risk with take-profit / stop-loss and manual closes.

Progress through weekly rounds with periodic settlements that reward profitable performance and end unprofitable runs.

Use a robust log & review system, including trade journals, templates, and filtering to analyze performance and improve strategy.

In short: the foundation is here, and it’s already designed for repeated practice and continuous improvement.”

Will the game be priced differently during and after Early Access?

“Yes, we will increase the price as new content/features are added. We will give players at least one month's notice so that folks on the fence still have a chance to purchase TradingLife at its current Early Access price.”

How are you planning on involving the Community in your development process?

“We plan to involve the community heavily through:

Social media and community channels to gather feedback, discuss strategies, and explore ideas for new mechanics

Regular conversations around what’s working, what needs improvement, and what new features would be most valuable

Opening the Steam Workshop during Early Access so players can create and share game content—currently we’re considering support for things like:

Trading strategies

Indicators

Instruments/markets (data/config packs)

We want TradingLife to grow alongside its players, with feedback and creativity shaping the direction as we iterate.

You can contact us on Discord.”

About This Game

TradingLife is an immersive, loop-based trading simulation made for traders and anyone interested in trading.

Premise

You lost everything—your capital, your confidence, even your last way out was erased by the market.

Just as despair finally hollowed you out, a rift in time opens up and pulls you into real historical price action, giving you one chance to start over.

This time, you swear you’ll take back everything that should have been yours.

But the rift doesn’t open for free—it runs on profit as fuel.
At every settlement, you must be profitable. Otherwise, the rift collapses, and the loop begins again.

Gameplay | Rules of Survival in the Loop

  • Each round, you randomly draw an instrument and “travel” to a random week in history.

  • To prevent memory and information advantages, the game “future-shifts” time and hides key price information, forcing you to make decisions using only what you can see in the moment.

  • Every 4 rounds form one settlement cycle:

    • Net profit > 0 during the cycle → earn rewards and move forward

    • Net profit ≤ 0 → the loop resets, and you begin a new “life”

Your goal isn’t to “predict the market.”
It’s to survive repeated settlements, review your actions, restart, and gradually forge a trading system that’s stable, repeatable, and transferable to real trading.

A Market Environment That’s Uncomfortably Real

  • All candlestick data comes from real historical 1-minute bars and is built directly into the game—no extra downloads required.

  • Currently supported markets: Crypto / Gold (XAU) / Forex (FX)

  • Real-time price presentation is generated based on the current 1-minute bar’s OHLC and recent volatility patterns, using algorithms to make the rhythm and “feel” closer to live markets.

Professional-Grade Tools That Turn Training Into Results

  • Indicators, timeframes, drawing tools, and a full order system (including limit orders, breakout orders, and more)

  • Journaling system: customizable journal templates to record entry rationale, risk plans, execution details, and emotional state

  • Journal tables support filtering and statistical analysis: compare performance across different trade types and quickly identify what truly works for you

Unlimited Practice

Any historical round you’ve traded can be replayed indefinitely.

Use it to correct mistakes, validate strategies, and train discipline—until the right actions become automatic.

Sharpen the blade before the fight.
Loop again and again, until you can confidently—

live the trading life.
