About
It dazzles us all - the world of trading, the trick of being able to trade paper and promise for money, the art of creating something of value from virtually nothing.
Wall Street Junior is a simulation game based on an equilibrium-targeted, event-driven model of economy and financial markets. The simulation evaluates the performance of economy's components and predicts the state of markets accordingly. Players have the option of interacting with the markets and trying out different investment strategies, yet to be successful in such one has to be aware of the current situation on the exchange floors and constantly keep up with the news not to miss anything that might render his investment invaluable.The Freedom of SimulationYour behavior on the market, as of a player, is entirely up to you; one may choose to buy a bunch of stocks today and sell them tomorrow with a profit, go for bonds while speeding up the simulation a little to receive the coupon payments claiming profit on the long run, or don't bother with the instrument trading at all and place their bets in the form of options that will expire one day with a (hopefully significant) premium. Some investments may, however, bear some risk, and it is then reasonable to hedge against inconvenient market moves in order to lessen the possible negative outcomes.Extensions to the Original ModelApart from the vanilla trading of instruments, currencies and derivatives, your company is fully capable trading on margin, offering loans to ordinary customers and issuing fixed-income securities on its own. These ways of raising capital give you the ability to operate with creditors money, thus maximizing the profits, but everything comes at a price and the interest responsibilities might one day present a significant burden, if not issued with care.
The game features a set of tutorials, campaign scenarios and a sandbox mode. The tutorials are written in an easy-going fashion, not going into much detail but covering all necessary topics and providing references to external resources discussing those of lesser importance. Campaign scenarios are merely a guided set-up with limitations regarding the options you have. The sandbox mode is stripped of all limitations and allows you to experiment on the simulation, with no exception of bringing companies on the brink of bankruptcy.Development DecisionsWall Street Junior was developed with the specific intentions of making a realistic simulation. These intentions had the positive effect of the game becoming (at times literally hand-) editable and easy to be modded, with the rather negative side effect of the user interface becoming complicated at the first sight. The game is in the Alpha stage and we actively encourage all player feedback to help us correct undesired behavior of the simulation and improve all the parts that might require further clarification.

Early Access Review
For what I could see (just check the very basics of the game) it looks promising and i'm also looking forward as to how the game will be updated in the future, maybe the modding tools or edition tools that could be given to us to create our own customized scenarios, stocks, forex and futures!
Also I would like to see the faces of the people who were saying this game was doomed, will never release and a long etc based purely on the AWFUL review system from the other side of the deal.
Good luck to the developer/s and you will be looking forward to our proper feedback!
Feedback:
1) Game stutters a little bit when you have one chart opened and pass the mouse on it while playing the simulation
2) Maybe add more currencies and news to the game?
3) Add indexes-trading (DAX30, IBEX35) for example
For now that is my feedback, the game runs smooth in all it's windows (at least for me) althought it stutters a little like I said in (1) maybe give us some modding tools so we can create our own scenarios??

Good potential, but too many imperfections, in addition this game has been completely abandoned by its developers. I tried several times to relaunch the topics on the Forum. Nothing! This forum is as dead as the Champs Elysees on a Saturday.
As it stands, it is not worth more than the price offered.
I give it a negative rating just because the developers are not doing anything to fix the bugs still too present.
If you are looking for seriousness, turn to Wall Street Raiders, for example.

Early Access Review Bought, because it is trading in America and RUSSIA.
Not Yet recommended, even with my good knowledge of English. Very incomprehensible and complicated to learn. It is Better to take it to the desired list, or buy only for the support of developers. I Warn you that after the purchase you will hardly be able to play it, at least until the summer, until there are adequate training and video from Letspleev.
Now, actually, about the game. I Honestly said it poorly understood, whether you need to push the name and characteristics of the ticket itself (WTF?), or until the ticket companies (for example, from NASDAQ) are not finished. The Graphs and the interface for the purchase of technical analysis is present, but very scarce on the actual analysis itself. I can Do more on free demo-versions of trading terminals. I hope they finish.
The Game counts at once 94% of all achievements, apparently-cant developers, but for someone can be a pleasant surprise.
In general, my expectations are not justified at the moment, but it is so early access and another to expect was stupid, I will not return the money-I will wait for the standards of realizations. Still, the product is interesting even at such a stage, if the fire will finish. Laik upfront.
