Stock Jump – a ski-jumping game with real stock data

It looks like to get the best jump, you need something with a ton of volatility along the way (to build up speed), and then with a sharp drop off toward the end so you fly off the edge instead of ride the slope down.

Not surprisingly, BTC has beaten everything else I've tried.

I don't think you want a sharp drop off at the end, but a sharp incline. Build up speed and then shoot up into the air. WMT is the best for me so far. 230+ every time.

I think only the sharp decline to build up speed counts. Allegion PLC has just that: http://stockjump.sos.gd/?symbol=ALLEN.MX&currency=MXN&name=A...

Just jump on the flat at the end gets me over 700.

Love the Volpocalypse of 2018 and the "50 cent trader".

Did we ever find out who cleaned up all the XIV money when it blew up? I.e. who was the 50 cent trader?

It’s going to be the only slope available soon when they shut down stock markets.

smabie2• 6 years ago

They're not going to shut down the stock markets.

400.45 :P that's a nice one

irjustin• 6 years ago

This should be terrible of course, but for some reason the fall to the ground calculated based on the rate of change of the graph... so this takes a really long time to fall down giving you lots of time to traverse.

Congrats!

The only control is the mouse button, AFAICT.

They need to hide the cliffs and hills that are in front of the skier to make it realistic :)

For a moment I got excited and thought this was going to be something like SkiFree.

Thank you for this link. I extracted some very important info from that: you can play Ski Free online on the Internet Archive [42]!

How are the stock charts derived? Is this 1 day, 1 week, 1 year, ... chart?

A lot of cryptocurrency altcoins are completely flat.

5 years ago, I was sure that cryptocurrency was a bubble and I would never have imagined that cryptocurrencies would be a safer investment than stocks in a bull market, let alone during a bear market.

Banks are printing too much money and it's been used inefficiently. The fact that cryptocurrencies have been able to grow and then hold value for so long is proof of that. The message is clear: Popular assets which have global exposure to investors are somehow getting free money from the Fed. The free money will give value to anything. If it's an asset and investors all around the world can invest in it, they will invest in it and the price will keep going up; no matter what fundamentals are behind it. This is the reality of our global fiat economy. Cryptocurrencies are backed by nothing but they will keep going up simply because the popular ones are in limited supply (and the slots to be a 'popular cryptocurrency' are themselves limited).

Large corporations and other high-exposure financial assets don't make a profit from their business activities (that's just a pretext), they make a profit by being a conduit through which money enters the system and 'trickles down' through the rest of the economy. Their actual main line of business is being a financial conduit for the Fed by creating jobs and hiring contractors.

Advertising is not as valuable as it is made out to be (even targeted advertising). It's just were all the surplus fiat money which businesses don't know what to do with ends up going. Advertising is valuable for the same reason why crypto is valuable; because money is constantly losing value and no one wants to hold any surplus.

seba_dos13• 6 years ago

That's because the game rounds the values to 1 USD, so for altcoins that stay way below 1 USD all the time all values get rounded to zero, resulting in a flat shape.

/r/wallstreetbets would like to have a word with you.

In few months most of the tracks in this game will become much more challenging (if there will be economic crisis after the coronavirus vanish).
