im an actual daytrader, the opening scene was funny. this is a funny satire game you gotta pump those numbers up, those are rookie numbers i think the weakness of the game is that although it is funny, the gameplay loop is bad and repetitive. Do X to make Y go up or down, rinse and repeat. There is also no speedup feature.
Perfectly encapsulates the absolute nothingness existence of being a money-man. In the words of a great philosopher, "If money is evil then that building is hell. This is the most obnoxious group of money hungry, low IQ, high energy, jack rabbit, f***'in wannabe big-time, small-time, s***-talkin', bothersome irritating bunch of m***f*** I have ever had to endure for more than five minutes."
