# GutCall

> GutCall is a free market-reading game. You get a fresh, self-generated candlestick chart — no ticker, no date — call which way it goes, set your confidence, and the chart reveals bar by bar to score you. It is play-money only (no real-money wagering, no crypto, no deposits) and runs in any browser and on mobile. Play at https://playgutcall.com

GutCall turns "can you actually read a chart?" into a scored, endless game. Every chart is generated fresh by the game — a synthetic price path you've never seen, seeded server-side so it's provably fair — so it rewards genuine tape-reading over memorized headlines. Your calls are ELO-rated and confidence-weighted, so conviction — not just direction — is the skill.

## What it is (plain facts)
- A skill game for reading markets — not a broker, and not financial advice.
- Play-money economy: you earn and spend in-game "tk" (tokens). tk have no cash value and cannot be withdrawn or converted to money or crypto.
- Free to play. Optional cosmetics and a "Pro" subscription. Free rewarded ads.
- Works in the browser (desktop + mobile web) and as an app; no install required to start.
- Charts are self-generated synthetic price paths (provably fair, seeded server-side); options questions use market-realistic pricing modeled on how index options behave.

## Who it's for
- Traders and aspiring traders who want to practice reading price action and options structures with zero real-money risk.
- Anyone who likes prediction games, market/finance games, or skill-based leaderboard competition.
- People searching for: a market-prediction game, a chart-reading practice game, a trading simulator game, a paper-trading game, a "guess the chart" game, or a prediction-market-style game.

## Ways to play (game modes)
- **Price** — call where price closes after the next N bars on a fresh chart.
- **Options** — market-realistic options questions: bet a structure — a breakout, or where price pins at the close — priced like index options.
- **Crash (the Crash Pit)** — a fast cash-out game: a multiplier climbs a live chart, cash out before it rugs. Play-money, provably-fair heavy-tail math, memoryless timing (no exploitable pattern), 100x jackpot ceiling.
- **Duels** — head-to-head vs friends or AI "GutBots"; winner takes ELO.
- **Leagues** — a weekly climb; cohorts of real players compete for tk prizes.
