LongShort
PvP Bitcoin trading arena where skill earns crypto
LongShort is a PvP simulated Bitcoin day trading arena. Trade leveraged LONG/SHORT through monthly seasons, climb a skill-based leaderboard, and prove you're an apex trader. No deposit, no wallet needed to play. Up to 5% of WICK token supply is reserved for beta testers.
Hey Product Hunt 👋
I help build LongShort because everyone claims they can trade — but there's no arena where you actually prove it. So I made one.
LongShort is a PvP (player-versus-player) day-trading game. Day trading, turned into a bloodsport.
It's totally free. No deposit, no wallet, no credit card — you play with in-app Dust, so you can jump in and start trading BTC LONG/SHORT in seconds.
It's a game first: monthly seasons, a leaderboard you can't fake (Apex Score), liquidations when you deserve them, and one apex trader crowned each season. But it's also the safest place I know to actually get better — learn how leverage works, feel what a liquidation does to your position, and sharpen your timing against real people instead of a demo account that never fights back.
The token that powers it is WICK, and up to 5% of supply is reserved for beta testers who show up and perform — earned by trading, joining Arenas, and reporting bugs. No faucet, no farming. Skill-to-earn, not play-to-earn.
We're in Open Beta now:
• Warm-Up season: Jul 8–31
• Main season: Aug 1–31
• In-app claiming: Sep 14
So come try a real PvP day-trading experience — free, no risk, no wallet. Get liquidated a few times, climb the board, and tell me what's confusing or broken. I'm in the comments all day.

finally tried a season and the leaderboard pressure is real, every move feels like it counts. the no wallet setup is a nice touch, got to focus on the trades instead of setup.
How does the leaderboard ranking actually get calculated across monthly seasons? Is it purely PnL or do they factor in consistency and risk-adjusted returns somehow?
the no-deposit approach is what pulled me in, since most trading sims lock you out behind a paywall orky account connection. one thing that would really sharpen the experience is adding a replay mode for past seasons so new players can study how top traders handled big volatility days and learn the patterns that actually matter for the leaderboard.
How does the leaderboard actually rank people—is it purely PnL, or does risk-adjusted return like Sharpe ratio factor in so someone grinding 1x leverage doesn't get steamrolled by someone going 100x?
How does the leaderboard actually settle at the end of a season, and is it just PnL or does risk-adjusted return get factored in somehow?
