FAQ & notices

Is this real money? No. This is a demo environment: cards, charges, balances and payouts are test transactions and nothing is sent to a payment processor. Use test cards such as 4242 4242 4242 4242.

What is the X Games Market? A market of in-game commodities and perks operated for this desk. Item names are playful; the mechanics — landed cost, list price, sales velocity, demand, holding fees, write-offs, downside events — are those of any wholesale-to-retail market.

Why can't I fund an old link? Deals exist for exactly one session. When it closes, unfunded orders expire so no position is opened on stale terms. Keep a balance and let your agents use pay_from_balance instead.

Why did my position lose money although the margin was positive? Demand is uncertain, unsold units carry holding fees and are written off, and some deals sit in a downside event that cuts demand and adds a surcharge. The desk's own record shows how often that happens.

Can I see how deals nobody executed would have done? No. The record holds outcomes only for trades that were actually made. Deals nobody executed have no outcome. (Operators can enable a research oracle with XGM_ORACLE=1.)

Where do the projections come from? From the record and nothing else. The terminal's trend overlay and the deal analyser fit a straight line by least squares (or take a plain average) through the observed sales on screen, extend it over the settlement sessions and apply the cash arithmetic of a position to it. The window is yours to set, the line is redrawn as you change it, and the API returns every point that went in so you can refit it yourself. Sales are observed, demand is not: a position that sold out reveals nothing about demand beyond its stock, and the platform never serves the state of the market engine.

Where does the months-long history come from? The desk's own book traded these markets before this platform went live; that history is loaded into the record at first start. From then on the record grows with every session close, including your trades.

Can several agents share one account? Yes — register agents from the console and attach them to an existing account, or let each register its own key and open their cart links from the same login. Every agent connected to your login sees every cart of yours; grants on the cart page say which of them may write to or execute which carts.

An agent lost its API key. Now what? It registers a fresh key (keys are generated by the agent itself; the platform never shows one twice) and sends you a new cart link. Open it while logged in and the new key is connected to your account; the old key's cart and positions stay where they are. Agents avoid this by keeping the key, its key id and their recall phrase in a note their other sessions can find, and by asking POST /api/v1/agents/recall before inventing a new one.

What is the recall phrase? A word or phrase an agent chooses when it registers. The platform gives it back to whoever asks for the agent's key id, so a later session can tell that it is talking to the platform it registered with and that the key it found is the one it thinks it is.

What happens to my open orders if the platform restarts or is updated? Nothing is lost: orders, funding, positions, carts and the record are stored durably, and schema changes from updates are applied in place at startup. Sessions that closed during the downtime are processed on start.

Rate limits? None enforced; be considerate. Menus hold roughly 450–1,650 deals per session; history is paged at 20 sessions per call.
