Replay, scoring & competition rules
Every run uses 32 real Coinbase SOL/USD hourly candles. The first eight are visible; Daily One and Practice buy 10 simulated SOL at candle eight’s close. Targets are +0.5%, +1%, or +2%. Daily gives each wallet one private, server-seeded chart per UTC day, so another player cannot reveal your future candles. The server reveals one candle at a time. Target hits pause the replay; you may also sell before hitting your target. An unfinished Daily attempt expires at midnight UTC and earns no points.
P&L = (exit − entry) × 10. Practice score = max(0, round(100 × return % − 50 × maximum drawdown %)). Daily first calculates that raw score, then divides it by the best possible raw score on that private chart and scales the result to 1,000. This makes different hidden charts comparable. Drawdown is the largest percentage fall from an earlier closing-price peak while you hold. Fees and slippage are excluded. Practice is unranked and awards no wallet points. Daily nerve scores are saved to the wallet that signed at the start.
Candle Rush starts with $1,000 simulated cash. Each of three charts reinvests the whole bankroll at candle eight’s close. Hold reveals three candles; Sell banks the exit and automatically starts the next chart. Rush has no target selection or target-hit pauses. Holding through the final candle automatically closes the position. The final showdown compares your session with reinvesting the whole bankroll and holding each chart to its final close. The bankroll compounds returns; arcade points sum each chart’s risk score and never enter the daily leaderboard. Resume and personal best are saved for this browser using a cookie. Clearing cookies loses access to that browser identity. Wallet titles come from completed Daily One achievements and have no effect on score.
Daily has a fixed top-ten bonus pool: 500, 300, 150, then 50 for places 4–10. Tied wallets split only the occupied-place pool, so ties never mint extra rewards. Zero-score runs receive no bonus. Sign a claim after the UTC day closes, within 30 days. Each bonus can be claimed once. Points have no cash value. Limits are per wallet, not per person.
The pool contains 3,456 historical candles across 24 periods in 2024–2025 and 2,712 overlapping windows. Practice excludes windows overlapping the public Daily preview. Daily source dates stay sealed until the UTC race closes; Practice dates unlock when you exit. These are historical simulations, not live markets or forecasts. Data source ↗
