Frequently Asked Questions

What happens if the price drops after I buy?

You'll incur a loss if you sell below your purchase price. Wait for a rebound or cut your losses quickly if the trend looks doomed.

How do I unlock new items or levels?

Progress is tied to your total profit. Reaching profit milestones unlocks additional commodities and accelerates the market pace.

Is there a penalty for holding items too long?

There's no direct penalty, but each item's value can crash without warning, so holding too long often leads to missed profits or losses.

Can I pause the game mid-trade?

The game doesn't have a manual pause, but you can step away between trades without losing your current progress.

Are there any hidden market hints?

Some items follow repeatable cycles, while others are random. Observing two or three rounds can reveal patterns you can exploit.
