The most fun way to learn to trade. Tradicted is a free trading simulator built on charts that move like real markets, with hands-on lessons that teach you to read them. No account, no ads, no real money at risk. Just you, a chart, and a call to make. Over 1 million+ simulated trades. WHY IT WORKS Reading charts is a reps game. Live markets are the slowest possible way to get reps. You wait hours for one setup, then wait days to find out whether you were right. Tradicted compresses that. Charts arrive already formed, you decide in seconds, and the answer comes back immediately. A few minutes here holds more real decisions than a week of watching a live chart. TWO WAYS TO PLAY Classic is the slow game. A chart frozen mid-move with no ticker and no date to go on, so the only information in front of you is the price action itself. Study it, set your stake, and watch the chart play forward. You start with a $100,000 virtual balance. A zero stake lets you take a free look without touching it. Lightning is the fast game. The chart replays candle by candle and you trade it while it moves. Every session is three minutes on every difficulty; what difficulty changes is how much market fits inside them. HANDS-ON TRAINING Learn by doing. Short interactive lessons where you practice the skill instead of reading about it. Draw the level on the chart, make the call and see right away if you read it right. Answer questions and watch simulated trades play out. Three sections to start: - Support and resistance: where price turned before, support turning into resistance and spotting a false break. - Risk management: what a trade is worth, losing streaks, how much to risk and risk to reward. - Trading psychology: hoping a losing trade comes back, trying to win it back and the fear of missing out. Each section ends with a short feedback box. I read every answer and it decides what I build next. REAL CHARTING TOOLS Moving Averages, Bollinger Bands, RSI, MACD and volume, the same indicators professionals use. Draw zones, trendlines and horizontal lines right on the chart you trade, then make your call. KNOW YOUR NUMBERS A full analytics dashboard measures every trade you take. Win rate, average win, average loss, expectancy per trade, P&L over 1 day, 7 days, 30 days or all time, peak equity, max drawdown, and your best and worst streaks. Find your leaks here, where they cost nothing. COMPETE Weekly and all-time leaderboards for both modes. Daily streaks with freezes, so one busy day does not wipe out weeks. Achievements and player levels for consistency and good decisions. TRACK HOW YOU FELT An optional check-in asks how you are feeling mid-run, then shows you what it did to your trading. Off by default. WHO IT IS FOR Beginners who want to learn how charts actually behave without paying tuition to the market. Traders who want volume: hundreds of practice decisions without waiting for the market to open. Anyone who has read about technical analysis and wants to find out whether they can apply it. JOIN THE COMMUNITY Compare setups, share your best runs and talk markets with other traders on our Discord. Tradicted is built by one developer. I read every review and every message. A lot of what is in the app came from them. Send anything you want me to see to info@tradicted.com. DISCLAIMER Tradicted is for educational and entertainment purposes only. All trading activity and financial figures within the app are virtual and simulated. Tradicted does not provide financial advice, investment opportunities or brokerage services, and nothing in it connects to a real market.
