A beginner's guide to trading Currency for profit

─────────────────────────────────────────

WHAT IS THE CURRENCY MARKET?

In Eclesiar, two currencies exist: Currency 🪙 and Gold 🥇. Players can post offers to buy or sell either one. The secret to making money is simple — the price people sell coins at is always slightly higher than what buyers pay. That gap is your profit.

UNDERSTANDING THE RATES — REAL EXAMPLES

From a recent market snapshot:

  Citizen       Action          Rate
  ──────────────────────────────────────
  Astralis      Selling coins   1 HRK = 0.199 gold
  passionce     Selling coins   1 HRK = 0.199 gold
  Copacabana    Buying coins    1 gold = 5.2 HRK (≈ 0.192g per coin)

Sellers want 0.199g per HRK, but Copacabana only pays 0.192g per HRK.
That 0.007g gap — repeated across hundreds of HRK — is your income.

─────────────────────────────────────────

GOOD OFFERS VS. BAD OFFERS

✅ Good sell  — listing your HRK at 0.199g each or higher
✅ Good buy   — someone paying 1g = 4.8 HRK (you get 0.208g per coin when you relist)
⚠️  Risky     — buying at 1g = 5.2 HRK, barely any margin left
❌ Bad sell   — listing your HRK below 0.19g, you lose value

► Quick rule: Never buy HRK above 0.192g each if you plan to relist
  at 0.199g — your profit disappears.

─────────────────────────────────────────

THE TRADING CYCLE — STARTING WITH 50 GOLD

Step 1 — Accept Copacabana's offer: 50g × 5.2 = 260 HRK
Step 2 — List your 260 HRK at 0.199g each
Step 3 — Wait for buyers to purchase your listing
Step 4 — Collect 51.74 gold → profit of +1.74g (+3.5%)

Then repeat with your new total.

─────────────────────────────────────────

WHAT 50 GOLD BECOMES OVER TIME

  Cycle    Gold       Profit so far
  ──────────────────────────────────
  Start    50g        —
  1        51.74g     +1.74g
  3        55.42g     +5.42g
  5        59.26g     +9.26g
  10       ~70g       +20g
  20       ~97g       +47g

After 20 cycles you've nearly doubled your starting gold — all from
one simple 3.5% margin repeated consistently.

TIPS FOR BEGINNERS

1. Check both sides before every trade.
   Rates shift constantly — always confirm the spread is still there.

2. List slightly below competitors.
   If others sell at 0.199g, list at 0.198g to sell faster.
   More cycles = more profit.

3. Grow your volume.
   The % stays the same but 500g earns 17.5g per cycle
   vs 1.74g for 50g.

4. Don't hold HRK too long.
   Rates can shift against you. Sell quickly and return to gold.

5. Track your trades.
   Note your gold before and after each cycle so you catch
   when the market changes.

─────────────────────────────────────────

⚠️ WARNING

If the gap between buy and sell rates is smaller than 0.003g,
competition and timing will eat your entire margin.
Only trade when there is a clear, visible spread.

─────────────────────────────────────────

THE GOLDEN RULE

  Buy HRK at the cheapest rate
  → list them at market sell price
  → collect the spread
  → repeat.

Never trade without a positive spread. Never panic-sell below market.

With patience and consistency, the currency market becomes a reliable
source of passive income that grows stronger the more capital you
build up. Good luck! 🥇
