How the commodities trading game works

This commodities trading game drops you into the market for a raw material — a simulated ounce of gold called MGX — with $5,000 of play money. The price updates roughly once a second using a trending random-walk model with longer momentum and the occasional supply shock: a sudden spike or drop that recreates how a strike, weather event, or geopolitical headline can move real commodity prices in seconds.

Unlike a fast crypto coin, commodities tend to trend — once a move gets going it often runs for a while before reversing. Your job is to read that trend, buy into strength or a shallow dip, and sell before the trend rolls over. The gold dashed line on the chart marks your average entry so you always see your break-even.

The commodity loop: spot the trend → buy the dip or breakout → ride the momentum → sell before the shock reverses it. Trends are your friend until they aren't.

Why commodity charts trend and then shock

buy trend supply shock open later

Notice the steady climb interrupted by a sudden jump — that vertical move is a supply shock. The trend rewards patience, but the shock rewards taking profit into strength before the move fades.

Commodity trading tips for the simulator

Reality check: real commodity trading often uses leveraged futures that can lose more than your deposit, and prices swing on events no one can predict. This is a free skill game with a fictional price, not financial advice — see investor.gov.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

What is a commodities trading game?

It is a risk-free game that mimics buying and selling a raw commodity such as gold. You trade a simulated ounce price with $5,000 of play money so you can practice riding commodity trends without using a broker or real funds.

How much play money do I start with?

Each session starts with $5,000 in virtual cash. You buy and sell ounces of one simulated commodity, MGX, and your equity and ROI update on every tick.

Why does the price suddenly jump?

Commodity prices react to supply shocks — a strike, weather event or geopolitical headline. This simulator adds occasional sharp moves on top of a trending random-walk to recreate that behaviour. It is for learning the rhythm of commodities, not predicting any real market.

Is any real commodity or money involved?

No. Prices are a seeded random-walk simulation and all balances are play money stored in your browser. There is no real gold, no broker, and no real money. It is a free educational game and not financial advice.
