AlgoEdge teaches you how to trade — then lets you practice with real market prices and zero real money. Most trading apps hand you a portfolio and hope you figure it out. AlgoEdge does it the other way around: short lessons explain how markets, strategies and risk actually work, each ends with a quick quiz, and every lesson gives you something to try in your own $10,000 virtual portfolio right away. Learn it, then do it. THE CURRICULUM — 12 LESSONS, ~30 MINUTES • Market Basics — what a share really is, orders and fills, reading your portfolio • Reading the Market — trends, moving averages, RSI and Bollinger Bands • The Strategies — every AlgoEdge strategy explained, including when each one fails • Risk & Psychology — stops, position sizing, and why most beginners lose money Every lesson is written in plain English and grounded in real data from the AlgoEdge platform — including the uncomfortable stat that rules-based exits beat manual trading. PRACTICE WITH REAL TOOLS • Trade any US stock or crypto by dollar amount — fractional shares, real prices • Run up to 4 real strategies — 21 EMA Trend, Momentum, RSI Reversal, MACD Cross, Bollinger Bounce — and watch them trade a curated set of 25 large caps • Copy Congress — publicly disclosed STOCK Act trades copied into your virtual portfolio • Automatic trailing and hard stops on every position, the same discipline professionals use UNDERSTAND EVERY TRADE Tap any trade in your history and AlgoEdge explains why it happened — "your trailing stop fired 10% off the peak," "RSI dropped below 30," "the politician you copied sold" — with a link to the lesson that covers it. No more mystery fills. ASK ALGO, YOUR AI TUTOR Stuck on a concept or a trade? Ask Algo, the built-in AI tutor. It knows your practice portfolio and the lessons, answers in plain English, and points you to the lesson that covers it. Educational answers only — never buy or sell calls. TRACK YOUR PROGRESS Level up from Beginner to Apprentice to Trader to Strategist as you complete lessons. Your level shows on the global leaderboard next to your return, so the board rewards learning as well as luck. STAY ENGAGED Optional notifications when a strategy closes a winner, when a politician you copy makes a move, when you climb into the Top 10, and a once-a-day recap after the market closes. FREE. SIMULATED. HONEST. No subscriptions, no ads, no real-money trading, no brokerage account. Just a place to learn how this works before a real dollar is ever on the line. IMPORTANT AlgoEdge is an educational trading simulator for learning and entertainment purposes only. It does not place real trades, hold money, or provide investment advice. All portfolios, balances and returns are simulated and have no real-world value. Lesson content is general education, not a recommendation to buy or sell any security. AlgoEdge is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by any politician or government body. Past performance of simulated strategies or public disclosures does not guarantee future results. Consult a licensed financial advisor before making any real investment decision.
