Collect XP, climb the leaderboard, and watch your skills grow.
Inside the app
A stock market simulator and crypto simulator in one app, with live prices, long and short positions, and a paper balance that moves with every decision you make.
Trade
Trade crypto, stocks, ETFs, indices, and commodities at real market prices, live. Bitcoin and Ethereum, gold, silver and oil, the S&P 500, and famous stocks, all in one place. Go long or short and manage several positions at once. The market moves exactly like it does in real life. Your bank account doesn't.
Learn
Sixty short courses take you from your first candle to running real strategies, across three levels: Foundation, Practitioner, and Master. Most lessons take a few minutes and end with a quiz, so you know what stuck.
Candlesticks
Browse the pattern library, then build candles yourself: drag the open, close, high, and low and watch the pattern take shape. It is the fastest way to learn to read a chart the way traders do.
Build the habit
It plays like a trading game: every trade and lesson adds XP. Level up, hold a daily streak, and unlock more than 45 badges. Fresh missions land every day, and timed challenges give you a clear next rep. Ten focused minutes a day is how trading skill actually gets built.
Compete
Your results are verified on the server, not your phone, so the rankings are honest. Climb the global leaderboard, compete in monthly seasons, and track your win rate and P&L as you improve.
