Chapter 2: The chart
My life so far, drawn the way a market would draw it.
Drag to move through time. Pinch, or hold Ctrl and scroll, to zoom.
Each candle is one month of my life: green when the month closed higher than it opened, red when it closed lower. The places and the flagged events are real. The movement in between is generated for now, and fills in as I add more of my story.
