Which Trader Are You?

The game tracks your decisions and tells you. You may not like the answer.

😱
The Panic Goblin
Treats every Bloomberg alert like a five-alarm fire. Probably refreshes their portfolio 40 times a day. Deep down, they just want to feel something.
📊
The Spreadsheet Monk
Still waiting for the perfect entry point. Their charts have charts. Has never bought the bottom or sold the top — but has discussed both at considerable length.
🎰
The Casino Falcon
Uses "asymmetric upside" to justify 3x leverage on every news event. Has screenshots of both incredible wins and complete account nukes. Only posts the wins.
🐕
The Golden Retriever
Has physical gold somewhere in their house and won't say where. Personally hurt when gold drops. Says "long term" like a mantra. Correct about the long term. Wrong about most short terms.
