This Balatro-inspired stock-trading roguelike marks the first time I've ever screwed up in a deckbuilder by making my deck too good

The trading screen in Insider Trading. .

Insider Trading seems deceptively simple at first. The structure is reminiscent of Balatro, but with a week of stock trading instead of a series of antes. Each day, you draw a row of cards from your deck, which will influence the rise and fall of the price of stocks by activating in order. After a limited bit of rearranging of the order, you can decide whether to buy or sit out.

Buy, and you'll invest all your money into the stock, let the cards play out, and then sell it—hoping its value at that stage is higher than when you started. Then it's time to add two cards to your deck—a red one, with an effect that hurts the stock price, and a green one that boosts it.
