Hey Product Hunt, I’m the maker of Learn Investing: EquiTrek. The dirty secret of retail investing is that 80%+ of beginners don’t lose money because they lack technical stock-picking skills. They lose money because they can't handle a 10% market drop without panic-selling, or because they treat markets like a casino slot machine. When I looked at existing simulators, almost all of them encourage the exact behavior that wipes people out: They give you a fantasy $100k balance, so you never feel the real weight of risk. They fire confetti animations every time you make a speculative trade. They let you reset with one click when you gamble and lose, teaching zero consequence. We built EquiTrek around the opposite philosophy: Discipline over Dopamine. A few deliberate constraints we built into the engine: The $500 Cap: You start with a realistic retail sum. Every dollar allocated matters. 0 XP Permadeath: If your portfolio hits zero, your progression drops back to Level 1. It forces you to treat risk management like survival. The Conviction Curve: Trade execution gives baseline XP, but holding a sound, profitable position scales your XP multiplier up to 10x over 91 days. We reward patience, not overtrading. Interactive Scenarios & 80 Micro-Lessons: No walls of financial text. You learn valuation and risk appraisal through 2-minute decision gates. Behavioral AI Audits: Our AI doesn't give buy/sell recommendations or predict price targets. It reviews your trade history and calls out emotional panic-selling and reckless position sizing. The build just cleared Apple review and is live. I’d love your honest feedback: Does the "Permadeath" mechanic sound like an effective way to train emotional discipline, or would you find the reset too punishing? Excited to answer questions and chat with the community below!
