Buy the Dip: A stock market game you can play in 45 seconds

How it plays
One thumb, two buttons. The tape streams real-looking candles on a market clock; you buy when you think it has dipped far enough and sell when you think the bounce is done. News lands mid-day and moves the price, a combo rewards clean trades, and if you let a leveraged position fall too far the margin call takes it. Story mode runs a whole year through twelve themed months, and most cleared days put two Favors on the table that change how the next day plays.
The Daily: one market for everyone
Every day there is one Daily: the same market for every player on the planet, five sessions over a 24-hour market clock. You get one ranked run, you pick your leverage, and the board shows where you landed. Come back tomorrow and the streak keeps count.
NEW TAPE AT
00:00 UTCA day trading simulator without the risk
Read candles on 1, 5, 15 and 60 minute timeframes, feel what a spread costs on the way in, watch leverage cut both ways, and learn what a margin call feels like before one ever touches real money. A short first-day tutorial teaches the tape by doing, and the rulebook and the trading lessons explain the ideas in plain English.
The Daily reads a timeframe; a candle keeps its width whatever you pick. The spread is the hair you pay on the way in.

Questions
What people ask first
Is Buy the Dip free?
Yes. It is free to download and free to play, with no ads and no in-app purchases.
Does it use real money or real stock prices?
No. Every ticker is fictional, every price comes from the game's own simulated market, and every dollar is game money. Nothing connects to a real exchange or a brokerage.
Do I need an account?
No. It plays from the first launch without one. A profile and a name on the leaderboard are optional, for players 13 and up.
How long does a game take?
A trading day is 45 seconds. The Daily Dip is five of them, about four minutes for the whole market, and story mode is a year of 180 days you play a few at a time.
Can I play on a computer?
The Daily Dip plays in any browser at meetkurus.com/dip, on a computer too: the same market every player gets that day. Story mode and live duels are in the iPhone app.
