Daily Challenge

Five decisions to protect virtual capital.

Daily gives every player the same situations. The final score rewards both chart reading and risk control.

Daily Challenge

How to play Daily

You have 10,000 virtual dollars, five trades, and two skips. Every decision changes the capital available for the next one.

Read before adjusting

Start with visible structure, then choose a timeframe and only the metrics you need. Do not move TP and SL without a hypothesis.

Define risk

Choose Long or Short, the capital at risk, stop distance, and target. The ratio is capped to keep decisions readable.

Reveal and review

If TP and SL are touched in the same candle, the stop counts first. This conservative rule prevents choosing the favorable order afterward.

What this mode trains

Preparation

Define an invalidation before seeing what comes next.

Allocation

Understand that large risk reduces choices on later trades.

Consistency

Compare five linked decisions instead of one isolated result.

Understanding metrics

Five metrics, no crystal ball.

Enable only a few metrics in Daily. Look for agreements and disagreements between price, short dynamics, and slower context.

EMA 9

What it measures
The exponential average of the last nine closes, weighted toward recent values.
How to read it here
Watch whether price accelerates above it, moves below it, or repeatedly returns to test it.
Its limitation
It reacts quickly to noise and can change direction repeatedly in a flat area.

EMA 21

What it measures
An intermediate dynamic that is slower than EMA 9.
How to read it here
Compare its slope with EMA 9 and observe whether price respects or crosses both lines.
Its limitation
It is still based on past values and lags when the market changes abruptly.

SMA 50

What it measures
The simple average of the last fifty closes.
How to read it here
Use it as slow context: price persistently above, below, or compressing around it.
Its limitation
Over a short window it may look stable while the immediate move has already changed.

VWAP

What it measures
The period’s average price weighted by volume.
How to read it here
Watch whether the market accepts prices above or below it and whether price often returns toward it.
Its limitation
VWAP depends on where the calculation starts and is not a universal fair value.

Volume

What it measures
The amount of recorded activity for each candle.
How to read it here
Compare volume spikes with breakouts, rejections, and candles that fail to continue.
Its limitation
High volume means activity, not automatically buying or a future rise.
Price, averages, and volume on the same window

Lines follow price at different speeds. Volume adds context, but no curve announces the next candle.

TP ENTRY SL

Avoid

Common mistakes

  • Risking a large share of capital to recover a previous loss.
  • Placing a distant TP only to display an attractive ratio.
  • Changing direction after looking at one candle or one metric.

Daily questions

Why only two skips?

A skip removes an unreadable setup, but the limit forces players to accept some uncertainty.

Does maximum risk create the best score?

No. High risk also magnifies losses and can end the run before trade five.

Can I replay immediately?

The result is kept so the leaderboard compares a first series of decisions.
