Exchanges

Race up to four friends on one live chart.

Everyone starts at £50 on the same day. From there, the chart moves as each of you gets things done.

A Ritual exchange called Study Group on a MacBook and an iPhone: five stocks on one live chart on day 16, with live standings and a 15-day exchange streak.

Staying consistent on your own is hard, and it gets easier when a friend can see how you're doing.

The start line

Everyone starts level

Pick an open day and every stock restarts at £50 on it, under a ticker its owner chooses. Someone who joined last week races someone who's used Ritual for a year on equal terms.

Live standings on a Ritual exchange: ZA50 first on £1,380.80, then LOUIS, JT100, MP500 and SR20, each with their change since the open and their streak.

Live

A chart that moves all day

Each friend's line is drawn right up to now, so a tick at 9am shows straight away and eases down as the day goes on. The standings rank everyone on where they are at this moment.

A Ritual exchange on an iPad: five lines on one chart from the open on 28 September to now, beside the live standings.

Long and short

Back them, or bet against them

Go long on a friend's task if you think they'll do it and short if you think they won't. Long wins half what the task is worth, short wins one and a half times that, and bets close when the task starts.

Three players' days on an exchange, each task with Long and Short. A long on Jake's two-hour task is locked in for +£20.00 or −£20.00.

The paper

A morning paper about your race

Every morning the paper writes up yesterday's trading, naming what everyone actually got done. A live wire carries the news through the day.

§How it feeds your priceMy Stock

Your price, rebased

Your line on an exchange is your own price, moved to start at £50 on the open day. The exchange keeps its own streak, which replaces your personal streak bonus while you're racing.

How your price is worked out
A 15-day exchange streak paying x1.5, kept separate from the personal 28-day streak.

§Questions6 answered

Exchanges, answered.

01How many people can be on an exchange?

Five, including you.

02Can my friends see my tasks?

They see numbers. Task names only show if you choose to share them, and otherwise each one reads as “a task”.

03Is it free?

Joining a friend's exchange is always free. On Free you can host one exchange at a time, and Plus lets you run up to twelve.

04What if a friend hasn't opened the app today?

Their line is still drawn up to now from their last tick, easing down with the same decay their own price has.

05How many bets can I make?

Up to six a day. If a friend takes a task off their day before it settles, the bet is void and nobody wins or loses.

06Can I try it before my friends join?

Yes. Four demo players, Zara, Maya, Jake and Sasha, can fill the seats so you can see how a race plays out.
