The Stock Market
You run a pizzeria. The game also runs an exchange. Diversify like your oven depends on it.

Four Trading Rules
1.Only trade with idle cash
Keep ≥ $3,000 liquid in the shop. A margin-called owner makes sad pizzas.
2.Load FLUR under -10%
Flour dips almost always flow into next month's dough discount. The most legal insider info in the game.
3.Never touch SHRP leverage
The v1.0.1 leverage button is the pizza world's doomsday device. We watched an owner go from double ovens to a street cart in ten minutes.
4.DCA into OVEN
You will keep buying ovens anyway. Up: you profit. Down: you were going to buy one regardless. That's industrial capital.
“Studied candlesticks all night, missed the morning rush. Made $400 on the close, lost $1,500 at the register. The game is teaching opportunity cost through a stock ticker.”
Editorial stance: stocks are the side quest
Pizza is the business. Of the server top-100, none got there by trading — and seven fell off it through leverage. Flour futures are a tool; the candlestick chart is a trap.
