Weekly paper-trading game · no real money

The Paper Arena

Every week you get 100 paper SOL. Trade real Solana tokens at live prices, with realistic costs, and see whether your discipline holds up. Badges go to stops, journaling and sane sizing, not just P&L.

A game with play money. No deposits, no withdrawals, nothing to win of monetary value. Not a signal service: a token appearing here is not a recommendation. NFA · DYOR.

Season crowns

Each week is a named season. When it ends, the top paper equity with 5+ trades takes the crown.

House rules

100 paper SOL every week. The week resets Monday 00:00 UTC; open positions are closed at their last marked value.
Fills use a price our server fetches from DexScreener at that moment, so nobody can type their own price.
Assumption: a fixed 3% cost on every buy and every sell (about 6% round trip, close to the 4.8–6.9% we measured). Plus price impact from the Playbook’s x·y=k rule.
Only tokens with $10,000+ pool liquidity. One fill can’t exceed 10% of the pool’s SOL side. Max 10 open positions.
Stops are checked when prices refresh: about every 20 seconds while your Arena tab is open and visible with a stop set, and about once a minute whenever anyone has the board open. A stop fills at the price seen at that check, after costs, not at your stop level. A fast drop, a rug, or a quiet spell with nobody online can fill it far lower (gap risk), just like a real stop.
Positions are valued at what you’d get selling now, after costs and impact.
Each week is a named season. Crowns go to the top paper equity in a finished season with 5+ trades. Crowns are bragging rights only.
Play money only. There’s nothing to win but bragging rights, crowns and badges.

Discipline XP

XP rewards habits, not profits, and sits beside the P&L boards rather than replacing them. Capped at 100 XP per UTC day so spamming trades doesn’t help.
