3D market simulations

V2 is not video content made three-dimensional. It is an Interactive Market Simulation that turns abstract market mechanisms into dynamic systems you can operate.

Positioning

The 3D edition is a Financial System Simulation Engine, rather than decorative gamification.

Instead of merely hearing about “liquidity drying up,” you watch order-book levels disappear. Instead of hearing that “leverage amplifies risk,” you adjust leverage yourself, see the liquidation price approach, watch forced selling appear, and observe a portfolio collapse.

Six rooms

Entering the 3D World reveals a trading hall and six rooms instead of a course list:

Trading hallTrading Floor

Stand inside the order book: each price level is a floor, with order blocks resting on it.

Ten simulations

Each simulation attaches to a knowledge node. The plan is to unlock it after the Foundation chapter and add deeper layers, such as large-order impact, after Advanced study. Automatic unlocking and progress integration with deeper scenes are not yet implemented; existing learning records can be saved explicitly on this device.

The first batch includes the six mechanisms most worth visualizing: order books, liquidity, leverage, cascading liquidation, portfolios, and market crises. These are enough to test whether 3D actually improves understanding.

The 3D graduation scenario

The final scenario is an Institutional Trading Desk. The system randomly generates rate shocks, Crypto crashes, exchange failures, stablecoin depegs, oil shocks, and liquidity crises. You must handle positions, orders, risk, portfolios, and execution together.

Assessment considers the following rather than how much money you make:

What you can experience now

The order-book prototype is already operable in the 3D trading hall: select a direction, drag the quantity, place a market order, and watch opposite-side resting orders consumed level by level. Its numbers match Chapter 13 exactly because both use the same simulation model.

The 3D edition is currently a preview without a public entry point. Its technical plan and task breakdown are in the repository's docs/V2-3D-PLAN.md.
