All newsPlayers around this dateRead on Steam

Added

  • Added oversold conviction scaling for the Contrarian and Swing hedge fund AIs - they now press harder the more a stock has sold off, but only on names genuinely trading below fair value, so the aggression reinforces a sound trade instead of manufacturing a bad one.

  • Added full-strength sizing for Quality funds on healthy bargains - a cheap company with solid, improving earnings now earns a full-size position, while cheap but broken names are still filtered out.

  • On the New Game screen you can now press Tab to move from Your Name to Company Name and back, instead of clicking each field.

Fixed

  • Fixed non-Value hedge funds (Contrarian, Swing, Quality) steadily losing money and bleeding toward bankruptcy while only Value funds stayed profitable.

  • Fixed Contrarian and Swing funds catching falling knives - buying stocks purely because the price had recently dropped, often names whose value was falling too, then exiting at a loss when the thesis broke. They now only lean into a dip on genuinely undervalued names.

  • Fixed non-Value funds chronically under-investing in their best ideas, so their small wins couldn't cover trading costs; they now commit to strong opportunities with full conviction.

  • Fixed the credit rating badge on the trader bar no longer clips into the ticker entry box. It is now pinned to the right of the bar, right aligned, and set at a larger size so it is easy to read.

  • Fixed long company names no longer spill past the browse arrows on the chart scope selector. The name now stays centered in its slot and truncates with an ellipsis when it is too long to fit.

  • Fixed the limit price field hint in the order ticket no longer runs underneath the Bid button.

  • Fixed report rows in the Research Reports feed (ticker, thesis, confidence, price target, status) are now noticeably larger and more legible, and the row height was increased to fit the bigger two line layout.

  • Fixed green and highlighted buttons now use dark text instead of washed out light text, so labels like Create, Capital Injection, and active tabs are properly readable. Dark and red buttons keep their light text.

  • Fixed each save slot now shows its name and timestamp on two lines, so the text no longer overflows into the Delete, Load, and Save buttons.

  • Fixed the percent of the way to next rank readout showing 100 percent while you were still just short of the threshold. It now only reads 100 percent once you have actually reached the next rank requirement.

  • Fixed a chart rendering glitch where the VWAP overlay line could dive off the bottom left of the chart on instruments that had no trade gaps at the start of the visible window. Added a safeguard so no chart line can ever draw outside the plot area.

  • Fixed the "Why It's Moving" explanation on the Company profile no longer runs off the right edge of the screen. Long text now wraps onto multiple lines.

Removed

  • Removed the momentum-chasing entry that let funds buy a stock just because its price was falling, regardless of whether it was undervalued.

  • Removed the conviction dampening that kept non-Value funds permanently under-invested in their strongest positions.
