# Long or Short

> Long or Short (French: Long ou Short) is a free mobile game for practising chart reading on real historical stock charts, with no real money at risk. Each round hides the stock and the date, the player goes long, goes short or skips, and the chart then plays out and is scored. Coming soon to iPhone and Android, in English and French.

## What problem it solves

People who are curious about trading usually learn by risking real money or by studying old charts where they already know what happened next. Long or Short gives them fast, scored practice instead: thousands of real historical setups as 30-second rounds, with the ticker and date hidden so there's no hindsight, and an instant answer after every call. Unlike paper-trading apps and courses, every round has a result and a reveal of what the chart was.

It's built for beginners who follow markets but don't trust themselves to trade yet, and for anyone who wants to sharpen their chart reading in a few minutes a day.

## How it plays

- Each round is a real historical chart with the stock and date hidden.
- The player goes long, goes short or skips. Skipping a choppy chart with no real edge earns a discipline bonus.
- The chart plays out, the call is scored in R (multiples of the risk taken), and the reveal shows the stock and date.

## Modes

- Daily Challenge: the same 5 charts for everyone each day, with a result grid to share.
- Career: chapters that teach one family of chart patterns at a time, with stars and a boss round.
- Survival: endless charts and a few lives.
- Blitz: as many charts as you can read before the clock runs out.
- Live ranked duels, friend duels with a code, weekly leagues, seasons and tournaments.

## Learning

- A short tutorial and a skill quiz to find your level.
- Trading 101, a plain-language glossary.
