The game definitely leaks information, I got better at every try -- this was the 4th attempt:
Your returns were 329.0%, against the stock’s 139.7% and the S&P’s 14.7%.
You outperformed 100.0% of players, ranking #1.
- KMag 11y agoYea, the re-scaling algorithm is a future leak. I wonder how the developers didn't notice.
- tophtucker 11y agoDid notice, didn't know what to do about it. I think it's the main problem with the game. There are plenty of options that don't leak and maybe I was just too enamored of the visceral feel of the y-domain following simplified+smoothed price line. Scale is also sensitive to variance over time, also smoothed, also leaks. -the developer
- LordKano 11y agoYeah, there is a bit of a leak but relying on that will not benefit you when you get Enron.
- function_seven 11y ago+1 for Enron. I was getting really excited as I saw it scale out and out and out. I knew there was going to be a huge jump and I was going to make a massive return. Unfortunately it didn't occur to me to be more reflexive. I think I barely managed to recoup my initial investment.
- chii 11y ago> Your returns were 5257.4%, against the stock’s -75.3% and the S&P’s 57.1%. You outperformed 99.2% of players, ranking #14. interesting, but ulitmately, just a game about fast reflexes...
- dlss 11y agoIt's not. stock wiggles are very close brownian noise with an average direction of up at ~6% a year (random walk, EMH, etc)... and yet, playing this game, I seem to be able to time the tops and bottoms of my trades. I think the camera is leaking directional information in how it pans.
- learning_still 11y ago"I think the camera is leaking directional information in how it pans." Which would make it a game about fast reflexes.
