THE HOUSE RULES · I
THE MARKET IS SIMPLE BY DESIGN.
TWO RAILS.
ONE WINNER.
A First Print round starts from one signed reference price. Two equally distant rails are fixed above and below it. Call the direction with free play credits; the first valid report to touch a rail settles the round.
WHEN THE CLOCK HITS ZERO
Rails are locked
The signed reference report and both rails are committed onchain. No new calls can enter the round.
THE TAPE RUNS
First touch wins
Signed reports are ordered by observation time. A challenge window lets an earlier valid crossing replace a provisional result.
THE LEDGER SETTLES
Score the round
Correct calls receive leaderboard credits only. A halt, stale report, timeout, or untouched rail returns every play credit.
THE PUBLIC LEDGER · II
EVERY PRINT
LEAVES A MARK.
Rounds settle in public. Follow every play entry, signed report, challenge, and score from call to transaction.

JESSE L. LIVERMORETHE BOY PLUNGER · 1877–1940
THE OPERATOR · III
“There is nothing new in Wall Street.”
THE ORIGINAL
TAPE READER.
Jesse Livermore learned markets as a quotation-board boy, memorizing the rhythm of changing prices before he ever placed a trade.
As a teenager, he took those patterns into Boston’s bucket shops—rooms where customers called the next move from a live ticker tape. His life inspired Edwin Lefèvre’s 1923 classic Reminiscences of a Stock Operator.
The Bucket Shop brings that immediacy to a testnet forecasting game: transparent rules, a public tape, and scoring no operator can rewrite.
