From a traders perspective, if they were active and playing the spread or watching the price movements, they could perform several trades to grow their balances, similar to how compound interest works.

Working with fixed variable of buying at 0.001 and selling at 0.0011 five times in a row, and starting with 1000 WOLF.

Theoretically this is very correct, but in practice it's very hard to make sure that after you sell at 0.0011, you will find to buy at 0.001, especially when a whale is near you and methodically cleans all the cheap sell orders

But there is something that I can't understand in your trade list: at minute 06:54:00 (for example) you sold a lot of wolf between 0.001-0.00107 and, at the same time, bought another lot between 0.00154-0.001175. What was your reason to sell cheap and buy expensive?
If, by selling cheap, your goal was to decrease the market price, I think that your best next move would have been to buy your own cheap orders - seems the ideal way to reach the goal without losing anything.
But buying, instead, higher orders would increase back the market price, annihilating your first move and also making a loss for you. So, where is the gain?!
Or have you acted this way just to encourage other traders to play more active and to make the game more funny (as you promised)?
