Field Test Scenarios

Five things we'd love you to verify (on whichever platform you're testing).

First-trade flow

Does the FCOJ intro tip fire after your first trade?

Buy anything, wait ~4 seconds. You should get the crop report tip (a nod to Trading Places). If it doesn't fire, that's a bug.

SEC heat system

Can you get the SEC to call you?

Accept tips, then buy big positions on tipped tickers (~$15–20k each). Keep going. You should get a warning notification first, then eventually a call asking you to come in.

Game-over states

Does the game end properly?

Three end screens to verify: hit $100k total portfolio (win screen), get busted by the SEC (prison screen), or get fined more than you're worth (bankruptcy).

Tip cadence

Do insider tips keep coming?

After the intro, tips should arrive every 2–4 minutes. Accepting one should pump the ticker price, then a news story drops 30–60 seconds later pushing it higher.

Recovery path

Can you recover from a fine?

If the SEC fines you and your cash goes negative (red), can you sell holdings to get back in the green and keep playing? You should be able to.

Transmit Intel

Found a bug? Something feel off? Platform-specific issues (web vs iOS)?
Screenshots, crash reports, or "this felt weird" — all useful.

Let me know. Thanks!
