Why this game was created
We looked for gaming options and / or simulators for Forex and we find almost none that are satisfactory. We found some similar games that served as inspiration, but they were meant for stock markets and indices (not forex). Also the options I found were old and usually made with flash.
That is to say: in the absence of better options we decided to create the game from scratch.
