Trench Cats Docs

Everything about the candlestick sim, the market, and $TRENCHCATS — in one page.

What is Trench Cats?

Trench Cats Online is a one-position candlestick trading simulator, playable instantly in the browser — no download, no signup. Buy in with your whole bag at the current price, watch the chart print live, and sell before a rug wipes you out.

Ticker

$TRENCHCATS (Solana, fair launch)

Format

Single-player candlestick simulator, one position at a time

Starting bag

$1,000 play-money, resets every run

Cost to play

Free, unlimited, no wallet required

Gameplay & Controls

Two buttons — everything else is timing.

Ape in

Buy at the current price with your entire bag — no partial positions

Cash out

Sell your position, locking in whatever the unrealized PnL was at that instant

One position

You can't buy again while already holding — sell first

Game over

Holding through a rug that drags price 50% below your entry — REKT, bag goes to zero

The Market

The price is a live random walk with two rare regimes layered on top.

Normal drift

Small random moves every tick, no direction bias

Rug regime

A rare multi-tick sudden dump — the whole reason cashing out fast matters

Pump regime

A rare multi-tick sudden rise — the reward for holding through the noise

Warning

Neither regime is telegraphed in advance — that's the point

Bag & Records

Your bag resets to zero on a rug — the Hall of Fame tracks your best moment, not just the ending balance.

Bag

Current balance, starts at $1,000, updates on every sell

Best bag

The highest balance you ever reached before cashing out, even in a run that later got rekt

Trades

Count of completed buy→sell round trips in a run

Best bag / best trades

Both saved locally — only new records overwrite them

$TRENCHCATS Token

The in-game bag is play money and resets every run — $TRENCHCATS is a separate community token that doesn't affect the market, starting bag, or scoring in any way.

FAQ

Do I need a wallet to play?: No. Trench Cats is fully playable free, with no connection of any kind — the bag is play money.
Why is my best bag higher than my ending balance?: Best bag tracks the highest point you ever cashed out at, not the balance when the run ended (which can be zero after a rug).
Is $TRENCHCATS live yet?: Not yet. The contract address on this page reads "SOON" until it launches.
Can I hold multiple positions at once?: No — one position at a time. Sell before you can buy again.
