    lol to be fair I've had this idea for some time BUT he did confirm to me that it's needed, but still mad props for the detailed critiques!! Also, while the engagement is sky high the overall usage is still small and its currently costing me to run every month as it's not currently monetized and I've got no plans to do so anytime soon.

    I've updated the UI quite a bit and have a new dashboard for your metrics:

    also on the chart now, I've added real-time pattern detection

    just a quick sneak-peek at the new version coming your way very soon! A few highlights:

    1. enhanced price-action realism. I am now using 1 second data instead of 1 minute data for price-action. Ironically, when I compare the current state of 1 minute emulation, its scarily close to the actuals I see in the 1 second data. But now it will be near perfect.

    2. I am removing the short/cover buttons as buy/sell will also handle those order types.

    3. Tons of new indicators and charts annotations. Pretty much everything you need in terms of indicators, overlays and line drawing, etc

    4. Each simulation will contain 5 days-prior data so you can easily analyze longer timeframes.

    5. Timeframes!!! - you'll be able to view 1m,5m,15m, etc (check the screenshot)>

    6. New interface which is more modern and user friendly.

    Hope to have this complete in a week or two!

    Cheers! Happy Trading and Stay Green!

    It’s Here! The New Version of simul8or is Live!

    Hey everyone,
    I’m thrilled to announce that the new and improved simul8or is now live and ready for you to dive in! Here's what’s new:

    1. Hyper-Realistic Price Action
      As promised, we’ve transitioned to 1-second data for price-action realism. While the old 1-minute emulation was surprisingly accurate, the new system gets you as close to the real thing as possible. Precision matters, and we’ve nailed it!

    2. Simplified Order Buttons
      Say goodbye to the Short/Cover buttons—Buy/Sell now handles all order types, keeping your interface cleaner and more intuitive.

    3. More Indicators & Chart Annotations
      The toolbox just got bigger! We’ve added new indicators, and improved the drawing tools, giving you everything you need to analyze and dominate the charts. We've also included chart panning and scrolling.

    4. Extended Historical Data
      Every simulation now includes 5 days of prior data, so you can take a deeper dive into price trends and strategy refinement.

    5. Multiple Timeframes
      You asked, we delivered! Seamlessly switch between 1m, 5m, 15m, and more to get the perspective you need.

    6. Revamped Interface
      The UI has undergone a major overhaul to make it more modern, streamlined, and user-friendly. Your trading journey just got smoother.
    One change to note: I decided to pivot away from using Highcharts due to its cost, so while the visuals might look a little different than earlier sneak-peeks, they’re every bit as functional (and perhaps even snappier).

    This update has been a labor of love, and I can’t wait to hear what you think. Dive in, explore the new features, and let me know your thoughts!

    Happy Trading and Stay Green!

    Cheers!

    as well as a Trading Feed that allows some basic "Replay" functionality:

    Would love to hear more from the community about what features you'd love to see in a Trading Simulator.

    Happy Trading and Stay Green!

    Thought I'd post an update... simul8or is still seeing heavy development, but this update is actually about some other goodies I'd like to share:

    Part of what I'm working on for simul8or is a new chart and as such I ended up developing a stand-alone javascript charting library. I'll be using a more advanced version on simul8or but I've decided to release the current version as open source. Its available on either github, npm or simul8or. here's the github link:

    https://github.com/day-trading-simulator/javascript-stock-charts

    as a side note, this was almost entirely written using 'Vibe Coding', which is basically an AI agent (in this case Claude 3.7 extended) inside of a development IDE writing and editing the code for you based on your prompts. this sh*t is wild.

    The other one is a browser extension, that you can use here on ET or any site that has tickers on it. When enabled you can simply hover over a ticker that it highlights to get a quick quote and chart. Its available for chrome, edge, opera and firefox:

    Check out that awesome website example image on the chrome extension listing above ;)
