Chart Master is a trading simulator/game that allows you to practice your trading skills using historical chart data. THE BEST PART? It lets you fast-forward through historical data to see the results of your strategy much more quickly. HOW TO LEARN TRADING USING OUR APP? 1. You can develop your strategy yourself by trial and error. That's trading 101. 2. You can take a peek at how our best contestants trade and analyze their decisions. 3. You can put into practice strategies advertised by your favorite YouTubers and see if they really work as promised. As a result, it's a great tool to learn trading even for beginners with zero investment knowledge. DOES IT WORK WITH CRYPTO OR FOREX? Yes, you can backtest Forex, Futures, Cryptocurrencies, and Stocks. We have stocks from the S&P 500 and many national exchanges, including European stocks, India, South Africa, UK, Japan, etc. CAN I TRAIN DAY TRADING TOO? Yes, Forex data includes timeframes as short as 1 minute. We're open to suggestions on what timeframes/data to add. DOES IT WORK LIKE A DEMO/OFFLINE BROKER ACCOUNT? Not really. In such a paper account, you trade without investment, but it takes days/months, so you get bored and switch to real trading, where you soon start losing money (unless you're lucky). Our app differs by letting you replay the market moves and emulate your game plan in minutes. So you don't get bored; instead, you get frustrated by constant losing. :-) Still better than losing real money. WILL IT TEACH ME TRADING? Yes, but be warned that it takes time to master the skill. We don't promise you'll ever beat Crypto or Forex AI bots, but if you dedicate yourself to training, you'll have a chance to join the elite fraction of traders who can consistently make money on trading. One thing you'll learn for sure: you'll realize how easy it is to blow your account, especially when trading Forex, Crypto, or CFDs, where the leverage is usually high. Your success is up to you. Chart Master can be used for free. Optional paid subscription lets you get rid of ads and provides access to extra timeframes and more historical data.
