Find out what trading costs you, before it costs you anything.
A real market simulator with fictitious money, and a course that opens with the part everyone else leaves out.
Free. No card, no countdown, nothing expires.
Simulated trading. All balances and results are fictitious.
Almost nobody tells you this first, so here it is.
Most people who trade actively lose money. Across large studies of retail traders, the majority lose over time, and the ones who profit consistently are a small minority. Every course that skips that sentence is selling you something.
We put it on the front page because the rest of this only makes sense once you believe it.
What is actually learnable is narrower and more useful: how the machinery works, how much to put on one trade, how to write down a reason before you act, and how to read your own record honestly enough to tell skill from luck.
Some people finish the course and decide not to trade real money at all. We count that as the course working.
What it costs to be careless
Buy a stock at $50.02. Change your mind and sell it at $49.98. You have lost money and the price never moved.
Do that five times a day and the spread alone eats more than your account is worth over a year. That is arithmetic, not opinion, and it is lesson four.
Nobody teaches this because it is not exciting. It is also the reason most beginners lose before they have had a single bad idea.
What you get, free
The whole simulator.
Real market data, the S&P 500, $20,000 of pretend cash. No cap on trades, no clock running down.
An engine that argues with you.
Settlement, the pattern day trader rule, commission, spread, orders that queue overnight and fill at whatever the open decides. Get something wrong and it tells you which rule caught you and why — which is more than most brokers manage.
Four lessons.
Enough to know what actually happens in the second between pressing buy and owning the shares.
Three things you will not find elsewhere
Every trade asks you why — before it fills.
You write your reasoning first, and it seals shut the moment the order goes through. No editing after the fact. In six months, that record is the only honest account of how you were thinking, because memory quietly rewrites itself after a loss.
You never choose how many shares to buy.
You decide what a mistake is allowed to cost you, and where your idea stops being true. The share count falls out of those two numbers. It is the single habit that separates people who are still trading in a year from people who are not.
Your results are built to be uncomfortable.
Expectancy instead of win rate, because being right often and losing money is the most common shape of a losing account. Costs on their own line. And whether you actually followed your own plan, printed next to what you made.
The courses
C1 — How the market actually works
Order types, the spread, why the open is the most expensive half hour of the day, what a trade really costs, why the money in your account sometimes cannot be spent, the rule that freezes accounts after four trades, and why a stop is not a floor.
First four lessons free.
C2 — Position sizing and risk
The decision that already happened before you entered. Risk per trade, where the stop belongs, the formula that replaces guessing, measuring in R, what a losing run actually looks like, and when to stop.
Method courses — trend, mean reversion, breakouts — come last on purpose. A method without sizing is just a way to lose money at a predictable rate.
Pricing
Free, permanently.
The simulator and the first four lessons of C1. Not a trial.
$9.99 a month.
Every course while you subscribe, including ones added later. Full journal history and the analytics that need it.
$24.99 once.
Buy a course outright and keep it.
The simulator stays free whichever you pick. Cancel whenever — access runs to the end of the month you paid for, and your trading history is yours regardless.
Take the free half first. Decide after that.
That is the whole offer. If the first four lessons do not tell you something you did not know, do not pay us.
