Trading simulator with real market data

Real price data, so candles behave the way markets behave. A hidden ticker and date, so you cannot recall how the move ended. Position sizes you would actually trade, and a written reason for every entry and exit.

Most paper trading accounts at brokers trade the live market, which means you can only practice during market hours and only one day at a time. Replaying history lets you work through many sessions in an evening.

Each game replays a real market session bar by bar. The ticker and date stay hidden until the game ends. You trade shares or options with game money, and the result is graded when the replay finishes.

Play solo or join a room with other players. Bots fill out rooms so there is always someone to trade against. Because the games run on historical data, Arena is open around the clock, including nights and weekends. Ranked games keep a rating built from your record, so progress shows across many games.

Pick one setup and write its rules down: what triggers the entry, where the stop goes, where you take profit, and how much you risk. Play twenty or more games trading only that setup, and log each trade.

Then read the log. Your win rate, average win and average loss tell you whether the setup has a positive expectancy in your hands. Count how often you broke your own rules, because that number tends to rise when real money is involved.

Fear and greed feel different when the money is real, and simulated fills are cleaner than live ones on thin options. When you move to a live account, start with a fraction of the size you practiced with.
