Education, with virtual money

Learn the markets by practising, before real money is at stake.

Clear lessons on stocks and options, then a practice market where you live through crashes and earnings days and see exactly what your decisions did.

No broker account, no real money, and no stock tips.

The practice market: a price chart of an invented company, an option table, and an order form

How it works

  1. 1

    Learn the idea

    Short lessons with worked numbers and real company reports, written to be understood the first time.

  2. 2

    Do it yourself

    Place orders on a market of invented companies. One day passes at a time, so there is no rush and no way to peek ahead.

  3. 3

    See what happened

    Your report shows every trade, what won, what lost, how each ended, and how you did against simply holding.

Four practices that teach what reading alone cannot

Each one is built around a single lesson. Everyone gets the same market, so results can be compared.

63 days

First steps

A calm market

Orders, spreads, and what buying and holding do to an account.

42 days

Earnings day

The volatility crush

Why options lose value after an event, even when you guessed the direction.

84 days

Sudden crash

Margin and risk

Losses and volatility arriving together, and how a margin call works.

63 days

Going nowhere

Time decay

How a flat market eats long options, and the risk taken by those who sell them.

A report that tells you the truth

Practice is only useful if you can see your own habits. After each trade, the numbers are there, worked out plainly.

  • Return against simply holding the market
  • Average win and average loss, side by side
  • Results by company, by long or short, and by how each trade ended
  • A plain warning when you have too few trades to conclude anything
A trade report: return, average win and loss, and results by company

What we will not tell you

We will not tell you what to buy, promise you an income, or show you a screenshot of someone's profits. When we tested simple trading rules ourselves, on real data and after costs, we found no reliable edge. So we teach you how markets work, how risk behaves, and how to test an idea honestly.

  • The companies in the practice market are invented, so nothing there is a tip about a real share.
  • Simulated fills are kinder than real ones. Real trading costs more.
  • Options and leverage can lose real money quickly. Practice does not remove that risk.
