The tape archive

Every chart is a workout

19 sessions · rep targets computed from the game code at build time · 29 August 2026

Each session below is one trading day compressed to a handful of candles. Green candles are squats, red candles are push-ups, and the size of each candle sets how many. The rep targets here are what the game asks for on each difficulty; the rules that produce them are on the method page. Today's live sessions — fetched every morning — are in the app's archive.

Rep targets on this page are computed from the session data and the game code when the page is built, so they cannot fall behind the game. A session marked “Simulated tape” is synthesised for the game and is not market history.
