Ticker

Trade one hectic 90-second day on the headlines

About Ticker

Ticker is a free daily trading game that lasts 90 seconds. You trade one fictional company's stock while headlines flash past, and try to end the day worth more than you started. It's play money and made-up companies, so nothing here is investing advice.

Is Ticker real trading?

No. The companies, headlines and prices are all made up, and the money is play money. It's a reaction game, not a guide to real markets.

Is the day the same for everyone?

Yes. Everyone gets the same company, price path and headlines on a given day, so you can compare results with friends.

Can I play past days?

Yes. Past days open from the week strip on your results screen. Past days don't count for the leaderboard.

Does the market wait if I open the how-to?

Yes. The market pauses while the how-to is open.

Do I need an account?

No. Ticker is free and runs in your browser. An account keeps your stats across devices and adds leaderboards and friends.
