How to play.

DUELO turns trading rules into pixel fighters. You never type code and you never risk money inside the game: every fight replays real prices from the past.

CHAPTER 01Fighters

A fighter is three things: a fighting style, a stat spread, and a loadout of twelve slots that together form its rulebook. Twelve base fighters ship with the game, two per style.

Tank

Soaks up sell-offs and buys into the damage. Built to outlast.

Ranger

Tracks breakouts and follows the trail while it stays warm.

Mage

Draws power from panic: strikes when fear spikes, exits on relief.

Sage

Watches the long averages turn and moves with the season.

Rogue

Ambushes a sudden surge, grabs the loot and vanishes.

Cyborg

Calculates how far price wandered from normal and bets on the return.

CHAPTER 02Training Camp

Select. Pick a base fighter on the select screen and lock it in. A copy joins your Barracks as a recruit.
Loadout. Re-equip any of the twelve slots by hand, or type battle orders into the console and let it fill the slots.
Stats. Choose a style and spend 150 points across Power, Stamina and Agility. Spending re-forges the loadout from the style's template.
Spar. Run the rulebook through history, read the combat log, then register the fighter.
Link-up. Optional: wire the fighter to the AI app you already use.

POWER: How much it stakes per entry, how much it may deploy in total, and how wide its shield is.
STAMINA: How long it stays in a position: its goal, its trail and its timer.
AGILITY: How quickly it re-enters and how short a window its trigger watches.

CHAPTER 03Loadout slots

TARGET: The market it fights on. 16 available: NVDA, AAPL, MSFT, TSLA, AMZN, META, GOOGL, AMD, PLTR, COIN, SPY, QQQ, BTC, ETH, SOL, DOGE.
TRIGGER: When it enters: Breakout, Pullback, Fear spike (RSI), Surge, Trend turn, Stretch (z-score) or Drill (fixed schedule).
STAKE: Dollars committed per entry.
CAP: Most dollars deployed at once. Its single risk limit.
GOAL: Cash out a position at this gain.
SHIELD: Close a position at this loss.
TRAIL: Close after this pullback from the position's own peak.
TIMER: Close after this many trading days.
SLOTS: How many positions may be open together.
RECHARGE: Trading days between entries.
TERRAIN: Only enter while price is above this moving average.
CORE: The AI model you intend to run it with at Link-up.

CHAPTER 04Sparring rules

Bankroll: $10,000 of pretend money.
Data: daily open/high/low/close from July 2020, split- and dividend-adjusted (Yahoo Finance snapshot). Crypto includes weekends.
No peeking: a decision on day N uses prices up to day N's close and fills at day N+1's open.
Friction: 0.05% on every fill. Fractional units allowed. No commission or tax.
Stretches: Full Run, 2022 Slide, AI Rally, Chop Zone, Last 12 Months.
Exit order per position: shield, goal, trail, timer.

CHAPTER 05Battle rules

HEALTH: 100 HP each.
ROUND: One calendar month of the chosen stretch.
HIT: The fighter whose bankroll grew more that month deals 2 + 1.1 × the gap in percentage points, up to 22.
CRIT: Gaining in a month the opponent lost: ×1.4 damage.
STANDOFF: Gap under 0.05 points: no damage.
FINISH: 0 HP is a knockout. Otherwise more HP wins, then the bigger final bankroll.

CHAPTER 06Arena ladder

Every fighter on the ladder battles every other fighter on all 5 stretches. Results feed an Elo rating that starts at 1000 (K = 24; knockouts count ×1.25). Tiers: Legend ≥ 1150 · Diamond ≥ 1090 · Platinum ≥ 1040 · Gold ≥ 990 · Silver ≥ 940 · Bronze. The whole ladder is recomputed from scratch, so identical fighters on identical prices always land on the same rung.

Joining needs a wallet signature. Each wallet may keep five fighters on the ladder.

CHAPTER 07Link-up

Your AI app holds two connectors: your broker's (with your broker login) and DUELO's (no login, read-only). Paste the briefing, and the AI checks with DUELO before acting. The briefing requires it to show you every order and wait for your yes.

Heartbeat. When your AI calls DUELO about a fighter, DUELO stores the app's name and the time for that fighter only, for 7 days, so the Link-up stage can show it is wired.

CHAPTER 08MCP tools

GET_SIGNAL: Verdict for the latest close: buy, sell, hold or wait, with amount and reason. Pass holdings (date, fill price, shares) to have exits checked against real positions.
DESCRIBE_FIGHTER: Rulebook text, style, stats and rulebook ID.
LIST_ROSTER: The twelve base fighters.
ARENA_RANK: Rung, rating, tier and record on the ladder.

CHAPTER 09Wallet

Connecting goes through Privy: pick your wallet (MetaMask, Rabby, Coinbase Wallet, WalletConnect and others) and sign one message. No transaction, no gas, no token approval. Privy confirms the signature, DUELO keeps only your wallet address in a signed session cookie. With it you can push recruits to your wallet, pull them on another device, and join the ladder.

CHAPTER 10Fine print

DUELO is entertainment and a research toy. It does not give advice, hold assets, or place orders. Past performance in a replay predicts nothing. You alone decide what happens in any account you connect.
