The lab
Four ways to learn by doing
What each part does, what data it uses and where it stops — in plain words.
Interactive Lab
Four lessons where you predict, run an experiment, read why it happened and write down what you learned.
Example: make an average longer and see the number of trades drop from 8 to 4.
- What you do
- Choose a prediction, move sliders, finish the lesson.
- Data
- Synthetic prices made from fixed formulas — the same every time, never real prices.
- What you get
- Saved experiments with your settings and reflections, and a progress path.
- Limits
- Simple rules on simple data. Real markets are messier.
Strategy Explainers
Short explanations of three classic rule types — following trends, buying dips, breakouts — and when each tends to struggle.
Example: why a trend rule buys near tops in a sideways market.
- What you do
- Read, then try the same idea in a lesson.
- Data
- Explanations use the same sample scenarios as the lab.
- What you get
- Words for what you see: signal, rule, drawdown, exposure.
- Limits
- Explanations describe the simulation, not the future.
Learning Paths
Lessons in a sensible order, with progress saved to your account so you can continue later.
Example: “2 of 4 lessons — continue with When the market changes”.
- What you do
- Follow the path or jump to any lesson.
- Data
- Which lessons you finished and the experiments you saved.
- What you get
- A clear next step after every lesson.
- Limits
- Four lessons today; more will be added over time.
Paper Trading Basics
What practising with fake money teaches — and what it hides, like emotions, real fills and changing costs.
Example: the same rule with and without 40 bps of costs per trade side.
- What you do
- See simulated trades and their costs inside each lesson.
- Data
- Simulated trades on sample data, executed at the next day's opening price.
- What you get
- An honest feel for how costs and timing change results.
- Limits
- No real orders, no brokers, no money — by design.
