Wall Street Junior

Wall Street Junior is a financial-market simulation built around an equilibrium-targeted, event-driven economic model. It evaluates the performance of different parts of the economy and uses that to predict market conditions. You can trade using different investment strategies, but success depends on tracking the current state of the markets and keeping up with the news that could affect your investments.

Trading and investment

You choose how to invest: buy stocks and sell them later, purchase bonds and speed up time to collect coupon payments, or use options that expire with a premium. Investments can carry risk, so you can hedge against unfavorable market movements to reduce potential losses. The game also includes currency and derivatives trading.

Running a company

Your company can trade on margin, lend money to ordinary customers and issue its own fixed-income securities. These options let you operate with borrowed capital, which can increase profits but also creates interest obligations that may become a burden if you do not manage them carefully.

Game modes

The game includes tutorials, campaign scenarios and a sandbox mode. Tutorials introduce the necessary topics and point to external resources for less essential details. Campaign scenarios provide guided setups with limits on the options available. Sandbox mode removes those limits and lets you experiment with the simulation, including bringing companies to the brink of bankruptcy.
