How the commodities trading game works

This commodities trading game drops you into the market for a raw material, real gold, with $5,000 of play money. The price is Tether Gold (XAUT) on Bybit, a token backed by physical gold, one token per troy ounce. It updates roughly once a second, and every update is the next real market price: one 15-minute candle, so a session replays about a day and a half of real trading, including any supply shock: a sudden spike or drop when a headline moves the gold price within minutes.

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, and 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 that replays past prices, 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 real gold price per ounce 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 gold (in steps of 0.01 ounce) at real Bybit prices, every buy and sell pays a 0.1% fee, and your equity and ROI update on every tick.

Why does the price suddenly jump?

Commodity prices react to supply shocks: a strike, a weather event or a geopolitical headline. The jumps you see here really happened, because every tick is the next real 15-minute candle of Tether Gold (XAUT) on Bybit. It is for learning the rhythm of commodities, not predicting any real market.

Is any real commodity or money involved?

The prices are real, the gold and the money are not. Prices are Bybit spot prices of XAUT/USDT (Tether Gold, a token backed by physical gold, one token per fine troy ounce) from April 2025 to August 2026, 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.
