How it plays

You prepareBefore the candles roll: 1 minute to 4 hours, the liquidity already marked (previous day, week, Asia, London), your levels and zones drawn with a finger, your bias. Three minutes in the daily battle.
The candles rollThey start 15 minutes before the open, then 1 h 30 of session, in under two minutes. No new entry in the last 10 minutes; a trade still open at the end runs until it exits.
You tradeBuy or sell, at market or with a limit order (tap the chart at your price). You set your stop and target, the size is worked out to risk $500, 1% of a $50,000 account. In a position: break-even, close, or drag your lines.
You compareAt the end: your score in R against the ghost, its preparation, the setups spotted on the chart and a personalised analysis of your decisions.

Same candles, same rules

The Battle rules

The score does not reward the biggest account: it measures decisions in R, on the same sessions for everyone.

Rule 01
The score is in R: a trade that hits its stop is −1 R, a target set at twice the stop is +2 R. Never in euros or dollars: the account size changes nothing in the ranking.
Rule 02
Each market minute is replayed in four steps, from the open to the low then the high (or the reverse) to the close. If your stop and your target both sit inside the same one-minute candle, the stop counts: there is no way to know which came first.
Rule 03
Three trades at most per session. One ranked game per day: the first. You can replay the daily battle as often as you like to practise; it no longer counts.
