A scenario engine, not a price feed. Every candle is generated by a volatility model with fat tails, liquidation cascades, funding fees and meme-coin rug pulls. Your heart rate, stress chemistry and urge to re-bet are modelled alongside your money, so you can see how the brain gets hooked while the balance heads to zero.

Same market, leverage and stake as your ticket, same volatility, cascades and fees as the engine. Direction is a coin flip every trade, so there is no skill edge either way.

Trader behaviour
Doubles the stake after every loss to win it back, resets after a win. The most common pattern in problem gambling.

At 100x your position is liquidated by a move of well under 1%. For a volatile coin that is ordinary minute-to-minute noise, so the question is not whether you are right about direction, but how many minutes you last.
Unexpected rewards trigger a dopamine response that tags the behaviour as worth repeating. Research on gambling links this uncertain-reward signal to compulsive play, which is why a lucky first trade often leads to bigger bets.
Surviving a wick that nearly wiped you out feels like a narrow escape you controlled. Brain-imaging studies show near misses recruit the same reward circuitry as wins and increase the desire to keep playing.
Re-betting straight after a loss to win it back is one of the clearest signs of problem gambling. The engine times it. If you see the loop clock start, that is the pattern to watch for with real money.
