Never opened a chart? Perfect, this is where it starts. No endless course: you play. Eight chapters and an exam to go from your first candle to your first trading decision, on real Nasdaq and gold charts. You are shown, you tap, the game tells you whether you are right, and why. Ten minutes a chapter, and it quickly gets addictive.

How it works
- 1You are shown
Each chapter starts with a guided chart: one thing at a time, which you tap on the chart.
- 2You play alone
Then real charts in 5-minute candles, date hidden. Easy to practise, Medium or Hard to pass the chapter.
- 3The game corrects you
Every answer comes from a written rule. At the end of the chart, you see what price did next, losing trades included.
The 9 steps
In any order you like, but each chapter assumes the previous ones.

Eight chapters and a final exam, from the first candle to the decision to take a trade or not. Each one starts with a guided chart: you are shown one thing at a time and tap it on the chart. Then you play on your own, on real Nasdaq and gold charts between 2021 and 2026, in 5-minute candles, date hidden.
No luck in the score: every answer comes from a written rule, applied by a program to every candle. And at the end of each chart, what came next plays out: you see what price did next, losing trades included. It is an exercise on past data, not a trading signal.
What next?
Once the exam is passed, the ICT exercises take over: FVGs, order blocks, liquidity, killzones… each on real charts, with its written rule.

The beginner course →Frequently asked questions
Do I need money or a trading account?
No. No money, no broker, no sign-up: you play on past charts, right in the page.
I know nothing about it, is it really for me?
Yes, that is what it is for. Chapter 0 starts from the candle itself, and each chapter opens with a guided chart.
Will it teach me to make money trading?
It teaches you to read a chart and make a decision with a rule. It is an exercise on past data, not a trading signal nor a promise of results.
How long does it take?
About ten minutes a chapter, two hours for the whole path. Your progress is saved: stop and come back whenever you like, on your phone or your computer.
What after the path?
Move on to the ICT exercises to sharpen your eye, or straight to the battle to take on other traders on a real session.
