Stonks Overview
Stonks is a Binary options-style trading simulation with 96.0% RTP and medium volatility. The maximum multiplier is 1.92x, making it a balanced game that offers consistent returns with occasional larger wins. Every outcome is provably fair — verified through HMAC-SHA256 cryptography.
Top Strategy Tips
1. Each trade is a ~50/50 bet dressed in a trading UI — the chart history doesn't predict the next candle.
2. CALL and PUT have identical odds and payouts — pick based on vibes, not analysis.
3. The 4% house edge means consistent small losses over time. Set a session budget.
4. Stonks is great for the trading experience without real financial risk.
5. Don't try to "read" the candlestick patterns — each candle is cryptographically random and independent.
Understanding the Odds
Each trade is a binary outcome: the next candlestick closes either higher or lower than the open. The probability is exactly 50% for each direction. The payout for a correct call is 1.92x (96% of the fair 2x payout).
Bankroll Management
With a 4.0% house edge, Stonks will cost you about 4.0 coins per 100 wagered over the long run. To survive variance: never bet more than 2% of your total bankroll on a single trade. If your bankroll is 1,000 coins, keep bets at 20 or below. Set a stop-loss at 30% of your session bankroll and a win target at +50%. When you hit either limit, stop and reassess.
House Edge Explained
Stonks has a 4.0% house edge (96.0% RTP). A correct prediction pays 1.92x instead of the fair 2.00x. Over 100 trades, you'd expect to win ~50 (returning 50 × 1.92 = 96 coins for 100 coins wagered).
Provably Fair Verification
Every price movement in Stonks is cryptographically predetermined before you trade. The candlestick direction is determined by a single bit from HMAC-SHA256(server_seed, client_seed:nonce). Bit 0 = bearish (down), bit 1 = bullish (up). The candlestick's visual shape (open, high, low, close) is decorative — only the direction matters for the bet.
