The path

Four stages, in order.

You don't get to stage four by skipping stage one. The app moves you through them — and won't let you fool yourself about where you are.

STAGE 01

Set Your Target

Tell the app your experience, your goal, and how long you'll give it each day. It builds a milestone roadmap around your answers.

STAGE 02

Master the Market

Learn to read charts, patterns, and signals like a pro. Five tracks, each closing with a test you have to pass.

STAGE 03

Build Your Edge

Practice risk-free in the real-time simulator until your strategy clicks. Every trade is logged against your progress.

STAGE 04

Trade Profitably

Execute with confidence and turn knowledge into consistent returns — with the habits already built in.

Learn

80+ lessons. Five tracks. Ten minutes a day.

Short, plain-English lessons that build on each other — from what a candle actually is, to reading an earnings report. Each track closes with a test, so "I read it" and "I know it" stay different things.

  • Section tests — pass to move on, retake anytime, best score kept.
  • Offline access — download the full library and learn with no signal.
  • 14 languages — full lesson packs, not machine-translated menus.

Practice

A $1,000 demo balance and live market data.

The simulator runs on real prices for nine assets — stocks while the NYSE is open, crypto around the clock. Place market and limit orders, layer on indicators, and find out what your strategy actually does before it costs you anything.

  • Real instruments — Apple, Microsoft, Google, Amazon, Tesla, Bitcoin, Ethereum, Dogecoin, XRP.
  • Market hours that matter — NYSE Mon–Fri, 9:30 AM–4:00 PM ET. Crypto never closes.
  • Indicators on the chart — switch them on, see what they would have told you.

Four mini-games that drill pattern recognition.
