Trade a fake market before you trade a real one

$1,000 of play money, one violently unstable chart, and a choice of how much rope to give yourself. Nothing here touches a wallet.

The short answer

A crypto trading simulator that runs entirely in your browser. You get $1,000 of play money, one simulated OCX market that behaves like a thin Solana pair, and a choice of how to trade it: spot, perpetuals, or dated futures at up to 1000x. Or trade a real chart, replaying genuine candles for any of the 1,000 tokens this site tracks. No wallet, no signup and no signature prompt. Nothing here is real $OCX price data.

This is a simulation. Every balance is play money and no trade here reaches a market. On the $OCX pairs the chart is generated on your device and the headlines are invented, so it is not $OCX price data. On a real chart the candles are genuine historical data from CoinGecko and the invented wire is switched off, but your trades still move only a simulated pool. Either way this is not a forecast and not advice. Research on Solana meme coin traders found roughly 6.25 percent finished a ninety day window in profit, with a median loss near $120, so treat a winning run as a lesson learned rather than a skill proven.

What this simulator is actually teaching

Four mechanics, not four predictions

Most beginners lose money to mechanics rather than to bad forecasts. Every one of these is wired into the game, so you meet it before it costs you anything.

What leverage actually does

Perpetuals and futures, at the sizes people really use

Spot can only go to zero, and it takes its time. A leveraged position ends at a price the exchange picks in advance, and at the settings on the ladder above, that price is much closer than most people expect. The simulator prints it before you confirm, then lets the market do the rest.

Liquidation is arithmetic, not bad luck

Divide 100 by the leverage and you have the move that ends the position. At 10x that is 10%. At 100x, 1%. At 1000x it is 0.1%, which on this market is well inside a single ordinary candle. Nothing about your read has to be wrong. The setting decided how much room you had, and the exchange closes the position for you whether you are watching or not.

Liquidation explained

Margin is the loss, not the deposit

A liquidation does not leave you a damaged position to nurse back. The margin is gone, the position is closed at the liquidation price, and being right ten bars later gives none of it back. That is the line between spot and leverage: on spot a bad entry is an unrealized loss, on leverage it is a receipt. The room to liquidation bar in the panel is the number to watch, not the price.

Risk management

A perpetual charges rent

Perps never expire, so something has to keep them tethered to spot. That is funding: a small payment every period from the crowded side to the other one. It looks like nothing on a single bar and it compounds. Hold a large notional through a lopsided market and funding alone can close a trade that never moved against you. The position card totals it as you go.

Funding rates

A dated future has a deadline

A dated contract trades at a premium or a discount to spot, and that basis decays to zero by settlement. The panel shows both, counting down bar by bar. Being right about direction and wrong about timing is a loss here in a way it is not on spot, because expiry arrives on schedule and settles at spot whatever you wanted it to do.

Perps versus dated futures
Trading the real thing, with fake money
Real charts. Pick A real chart in the setup card and search any of the 1,000 tokens the site already tracks. The candles are genuine historical OHLC from CoinGecko, replayed one at a time at the same play money, with the same swap and margin panels. Three things are worth knowing before you use it. The invented news wire switches itself off, because a made up headline over a real asset is a made up claim about that asset. The interval buttons change to the three the free endpoint actually serves, 30 minutes, 4 hours and 4 days, rather than inventing the ones it does not. And the run ends when the series reaches the most recent candle, because real data runs out.
Where the simulation is gentler than reality
Isolated margin only, one position at a time, and no way to add margin to a losing position. Real venues offer cross margin, where one bad trade can take the rest of the account, and topping up, which is how a small loss becomes the whole balance. Leaving both out makes this simulator kinder than the real thing, not harsher.
How to play

Three minutes of rules

One

Pick a chart and a market

OCX/USDC prices everything in dollars, OCX/SOL adds a second moving part since the quote currency moves too, and A real chart replays genuine candles for any token the site tracks. Then choose spot, a perpetual or a dated future, and on the leveraged markets a setting from the ladder. Every run has a seed, and sharing the seed gives another player the identical market. That is the only fair way to compare results.

Two

Trade the panel on the right

On spot, enter an amount or tap a percentage, check the quote, then buy or sell. On a leveraged market the panel changes: post margin, read the liquidation price it shows you, then go long or short. Fills are instant at the quoted rate including impact and fees. Keyboard: B buys, S sells, C closes the position, Space pauses.

Three

Read the prompts, or turn them off

Coaching notes appear when you are sitting on a large gain, bleeding into a drawdown, oversized in one position, close to liquidation, or chasing a vertical candle. They suggest, they never act, and the Tips button switches them off entirely if you would rather find out the hard way. The result screen names the decision that mattered most either way.

What a good score does not prove
A simulator has no emotion, no real order book, no outage, no tax and no consequence. A good run here is evidence you understood a mechanic. It is not evidence you have an edge, and the research on this category is blunt about how few people do.
