Corpoat.com Field Guide

The Core Concept

Trading mechanics in mobile games refer to the integration of financial data structures—specifically candlestick charts and volatility models—into casual gaming interfaces. This creates a hybrid category where users learn market dynamics through gameplay loops rather than traditional chart analysis.

For Corpoat.com clients, this means shipping apps that feel like games but operate with the precision of professional trading terminals. The key is abstraction: complex math becomes intuitive visual feedback.

Decision Criteria

  • Latency: Can data update in under 100ms? Critical for volatility mechanics.
  • Visual Clarity: Do users understand "up" and "down" instantly via colour and shape?
  • Device Support: Does it run smoothly on 5-year-old phones? We target 60fps on mid-range hardware.

Myth vs. Fact

MYTH: "Users need to see raw numbers."
FACT: Visual abstraction (height of bars, colour intensity) leads to 3x faster decision making in playtests.

Key Glossary

  • OHLC: Open, High, Low, Close data set
  • Volatility: Rate of price change
  • Candle: Single time period visual
  • Liquidity: Ease of trade execution

Common Mistakes

  • ❌ Overloading UI with too many indicators
  • ❌ Ignoring touch target sizes on mobile
  • ❌ Using fake data that breaks immersion
