Rules

There's one single security that you can trade. You want to buy low, sell high to make money. You can also sell first (aka "shorting" the security) first high and buy back low. For simplicity, there is no interest on borrowed capital.

Your trades will have real market impact on the prices. If you buy too much, prices will go up, and vice versa. Getting out of a big position will be expensive. There will also be automated trading bots in the market that can outsmart you or be outsmarted by you.

Fair value of the security changes over time. There will also be news (WIP) that can impact its value. Pay close attention to those.

You have a fixed 10000 risk limit. This means that if you go too long (net position > 10000) or too short (net position < 10000) you will be market liquidated. You don't want that to happen. Monitor your risk carefully. Note that this 10000 is 10000 shares of the security, not $10000 in dollar.
