Plan your next Insider Trading session

Our independent guide breaks down Insider Trading’s systems so you can craft stronger runs without relying on hidden tricks. By observing how each element interacts, you’ll develop a clearer strategy for navigating the volatile market and making the most of each character’s toolkit.

01 / THE GUIDE

Deck Composition Review

Compare two runs using different characters. Note how each starting deck influences early card choices and how that shapes the overall combo potential.

  • Consider how a card’s effect might chain with the next to trigger combos.
  • Balance high‑impact cards with those that mitigate risk for a steadier run.

02 / THE GUIDE

Greed Management

Track Greed levels across several runs. Observe the point at which risk outweighs reward and adjust your cash‑out timing accordingly.

  • Try several characters to discover which mechanics complement your play style.
  • Notice each character’s starting deck to plan early‑game moves.
