How scoring works

A right call scores its confidence (+1, +2 or +3) and a wrong call loses it. A chart you skip costs one point. The total runs from −30 to +30. The answers stay on the server until every call is in, so there is nothing to work out from the page.

Fair play

The server owns the round, the clock and the score. Your browser only shows what it has been sent.
Coins and dates stay hidden until the round is over, so you cannot look anything up.
Practice rounds and challenge rounds come from separate libraries, and a challenge round is never reused.

Questions

Which coins are in Next Candle?

Major coins such as BTC, ETH, SOL, XRP and DOGE, on random dates from the last three years. The coin is revealed after the round.

How long is one candle?

Fifteen minutes. Each chart shows twelve hours of price action, and you call the next quarter of an hour.

Is it just luck?

Short-term moves are noisy, which is why confidence matters: a good player bets big only on the charts they read best.
