About this game
The developer's description, from the game's Steam store page.
Welcome to the market. Your money is fake. The pressure is real.
Pixel Trader drops you into a lively stock market where every session is a new test of timing, discipline, and nerve. Prices move, news hits, positions swing—and you decide whether to buy the dip, take profit, or hold through the chaos.
This is not a spreadsheet with a skin. It is a day-by-day trading game built around readable decisions: watch prices, place orders, close the day, and see whether your strategy actually worked.
Trade your way, day by day
Start with cash and a watchlist of fictional companies. Each day opens with fresh market conditions—calm trends, gap opens, earnings surprises, headline shocks, and platform fees that punish careless cash management. Learn when to trade aggressively, when to sit still, and when to cut losses before they cut you.
Two ways to play
Journey Mode — Campaigns with daily goals, bonuses, and rising market drama. Complete the assigned tasks and prove your strategy still holds on the final day.
Endless Mode — No finish line. Build survival streaks, chase bigger gains, and see how long you can stay solvent when the market keeps coming.

- English, Traditional Chinese, and Simplified Chinese
Learn without the real-world bill
Pixel Trader is a simulation. The companies are fictional. The sting of a bad day is not. That makes it a great place to practice market thinking: risk control, patience, position sizing, and the hardest skill of all—knowing when not to trade.
