Frequently asked questions
Is this a live trading platform?
No. This is a historical market training and paper trading tool. It does not connect to live trading or execute exchange orders. Practice returns do not predict future live performance.
Where does the market data come from?
Historical candles come from the Binance USDⓈ-M futures candlestick API. Training uses completed candles and reveals future data one candle at a time. Market and trade timestamps use UTC.
How do free practice, adventure and ranked modes differ?
Free practice lets you choose a pair and interval and does not enter leaderboards. Adventure uses scenario tasks to practice decisions and risk control. Ranked play uses random blind charts: 10 tests of 30 candles per run, with separate interval rankings. Official ranked play requires login; registered and anonymous boards score separately.
How are simulated orders filled?
In free practice, orders become active on the next candle. Market orders fill at its open; limit orders depend on subsequent price touches. If one candle touches both a profit target and an adverse exit, the adverse exit is used. Candles cannot reconstruct the actual intrabar path.
Which costs are included?
Trade settlement includes entry and exit fees. Margin is simplified; funding, slippage and real order-book liquidity are excluded. Results do not represent actual exchange execution.
Where are practice records stored?
Session history is saved in the browser that created it and does not automatically sync across devices. Leaderboards and player accounts use server data. Clearing browser site data affects local history.
