TradersYard is a trading terminal for SIMULATED prop-firm challenges. Open a challenge account, trade it with live charts and one-tap orders, and follow your progress from the same screen. REQUIRES A CHALLENGE ACCOUNT Charts, order entry, analytics and all other trading features are available only with an active challenge account. Challenges are evaluation accounts with simulated capital and are available as one-time in-app purchases (prices shown in the app). Without a challenge you can sign in and browse the available challenges, but you cannot trade. TRADE FROM THE CHART Place market, limit, stop and stop-limit orders, and drag stop loss and take profit straight on the chart. See risk and reward before you click. PRO CHART TOOLS Pro-grade charting: Fibonacci, Gann, Pitchfork and Elliott Wave tools, with RSI, MACD, Bollinger Bands and Parabolic SAR. Spread markers and a bar-close countdown right on the chart. YOUR WHOLE ACCOUNT, ALWAYS IN VIEW Equity, open P/L, free margin and every position at a glance. Close a position in one tap. ALL YOUR ACCOUNTS Switch between challenge, futures and competition accounts without leaving the app. Download TradersYard and take your simulated prop trading to the next level. Disclaimer: TradersYard is a trading simulator. All market data and trading activity are for simulation purposes only. No real instruments from exchanges are traded, no trades are registered on any exchanges including crypto exchanges and no real money transaction is involved in this trading app. Every execution occurs on simulated internal environments.
