What is simulated
The app simulates decision pressure: limited visible information, a score, and the choice to keep playing or stop. Arena balances are points, not cash.
A simulator for practice, not a signal to trade.
Time is Gold uses historical market charts to create short decision games. It deliberately avoids live trading, brokerage accounts, and real-money execution.
What is missing from real trading
There is no order book, broker latency, fees, slippage, tax impact, liquidity constraint, or actual capital at risk. Those gaps matter.
What the score means
A score can show how one run went against historical data. It should not be read as investment advice, a forecast, or evidence of future returns.
Simulator FAQ
Where the simulation starts and stops.
Is Time is Gold a broker?
No. Time is Gold does not connect to brokerage accounts, place orders, hold funds, or execute trades. Arena balances are simulated points.
Does the simulator use live market data?
No. Runs use historical market windows. The asset, date, and future candles are hidden during the decision so the exercise stays focused on replay practice.
What is missing compared with real trading?
Real trading includes fees, slippage, liquidity, latency, taxes, order execution, and emotional pressure from capital at risk. Time is Gold deliberately leaves those out.
Can a good score predict real returns?
No. A score is only the result of one replay run against historical data. It is not a forecast, recommendation, or proof of future performance.
