You've seen the memes. Now live them.
YOLO Mode is an options trading simulator built for the degenerate investor in all of us. Start with a modest bankroll, pick your strikes, manage your Greeks, and watch your portfolio either moon or crater in real time — usually the latter.
Whether you're a first-timer who just learned what a call option is, or a seasoned trader who blew up their account and wants to do it again in a consequence-free environment, YOLO Mode meets you where you are.
Five Ways to Lose Your Shirt:
YOLO Challenge — Pure chaos. Pick a ticker, bet a direction, survive to Friday. Win streaks feed the Hall of Fame. Lose streaks feed your therapist.
Career Mode — 12-month campaign. $10K starting stack, monthly profit targets, covered calls, spreads, iron condors. For when you want to feel sophisticated before losing money in a more complex way.
Deep Value — Relive the most infamous short squeeze in market history. Build your thesis, rally the apes, testify before Congress. "I like the stock."
Survival — Endless mode with escalating weekly expenses. How long can you last before the bills eat you alive?
Daily Challenge — Same seed for every player. Same stocks, same news, same market. Prove you're better than the rest of us on the global leaderboard.
Under the Hood:
Real options math — Black-Scholes pricing, theta decay, IV crush after earnings. It's all modeled.
Mid-day breaking news events that pause the sim and force a 10-second decision: HOLD, SELL NOW, or DOUBLE DOWN.
Limit orders, partial sells, 1x/2x/4x/instant speed control. You're in the chair.
Sector rotation, market mood, insider tips (with SEC investigation risk — don't get caught).
8 trader ranks from Paper Trader to Master of the Universe. Unlock volatile stocks, higher leverage tiers, and multi-leg strategies as you climb.
8 achievements, per-mode high scores, Steam Cloud saves.
Hall of Fame — Your best (and worst) weeks are immortalized. Flex your 4,000% return. Confess your 98% loss.
It's educational. No really. You will genuinely learn how options pricing works. The hard way.
