• v0.4.1 UPDATE - 5 October 2026

  Trading Cost System Update This update focuses on improving the trading cost experience. Everyday trading does not require you to understand or manually adjust the underlying position multiplier. If you are interested in how the fee system has changed, read on. Why Was the Original System Designed This Way? TradingLife began with crypto-inspired fees charged as a percentage of traded value. This allowed costs to scale naturally with account size, and the game also adopted separate taker and maker rates. When forex, futures, gold, and other instruments were added, their different price ranges presented a problem: applying crypto fee rates directly could make costs disproportionately high relative to the profit available in lower-volatility markets. We therefore introduced base leverage—the multiplier previously shown beside instrument names. It adjusted position size behind the scenes, i…

  Detached Chart Windows and Dual-Instrument Trading in Origin This update gives you more freedom to arrange your charts and introduces dual-instrument trading to Origin. Open Charts in Separate Windows Press Shift + Middle Mouse Button over a chart to detach it into a separate window. Move it, resize it, or place it on another monitor to build a chart layout that suits you. Detached charts retain their timeframe, drawings, and orders, while market time stays synchronized with the main window. Use the shortcut again or close the detached window to return the chart to the main layout. Like the middle-click chart fullscreen shortcut introduced in the previous update, this shortcut can be customized in Settings. Trade Two Instruments in Origin New Origin rounds now randomly select two different instruments, letting you trade both markets during the same historical week. Switch between them u…

• Controller Support Is Here! - 26 September 2026

  Why We Added Controller SupportThroughout version 0.3, we’ve been refining the game experience and making it more immersive. For the final 0.3 update, we wanted to take that immersion a step further, so we decided to add controller support.Playing with a controller has two main benefits:Richer feedback. Controller vibration adds a tactile dimension to the game.More comfortable for longer sessions. You don’t have to sit at your desk the whole time. You can play in a more relaxed position—or, if your setup allows it, put the game on a TV and play from the sofa.Using a ControllerBasic ControlsD-padUp: BuyDown: SellLeft: Close positionRight: TP/SLA: Next candleB: Breakout orderX: Limit orderY: JournalLS (left stick): Move the cursor (simulates mouse movement).RS (right stick): Move the camera (simulates dragging the chart with a mouse).LB/RB (shoulder buttons): Zoom the vertical axis.

• v0.3.7.2 UPDATE - 19 September 2026

  New Content Improved “Next Candle” Experience Previously, using “Next Candle” would immediately advance the chart to the next candlestick, which sometimes left players with too little time to observe the market and make a decision. This update adds a new option under “Preferences.” You can now choose to have “Next Candle” jump to a specified number of seconds before the current candle closes, instead of advancing directly to the next candle.
