How to learn with this app
Learn one idea, use it on a practice chart with pretend money, come back for a little practice each day, then prove it in an exam.
In one line
A little practice every day beats one giant study night. Here is how to learn with this app.
Explained simply
Learning here works like learning a sport: a coach shows you one move, you practise it, and you come back every day. Each lesson teaches one idea, and then you try it on a real chart with practice money. At the end of each big world, an exam checks what you know, and passing earns a certificate.
The lesson
Each lesson explains one idea with pictures, a short drill and a 10-question quiz, and you pass a drill with at least 8 of 10 right. A practice chart then lets you use the idea on real price history with the next candles hidden, trading with practice money before the reveal shows what happened. Daily practice gives you five short rounds each day, because a little practice spread over many days, with plenty of self-testing, helps ideas stick. From World 1 on, each world ends with a 20-question exam that you pass with 80% to earn a certificate, and everything uses practice money only.
A worked example
Illustrative example: a drill has 10 questions and you pass with at least 8 right, which is 80% (8 divided by 10, times 100). A world exam draws 20 questions and also needs 80%, so you need at least 16 right (20 times 0.80). Daily practice has 5 short rounds, so a week of it adds up to 35 rounds (5 times 7).
The same idea at four levels
- Beginner. Learn one idea at a time with a short lesson.
- Foundation. Pass the drill with at least 8 of 10 right, then use the idea on a practice chart.
- Intermediate. Come back each day for five short practice rounds, because spreading practice out helps you remember.
- Advanced. Test yourself instead of only rereading, because pulling an idea out of your memory makes it stick.
- Expert. Pass each world's exam with 80% to earn its certificate, and keep revisiting old worlds so your skills stay sharp.
Mistakes to avoid
- Rushing through many lessons in one sitting instead of practising a little each day.
- Skipping the practice chart, when using an idea is what makes it stick.
- Only rereading lessons instead of testing yourself with drills and quizzes.
