Paper Pit
Paper Pit
Day Trading Academy
A game that teaches the basics of day trading step by step, from reading a candlestick chart to sizing a trade and placing a stop, using simulated markets and pretend money.
What's inside
Lessons that build on each other
Twelve lessons, from your first round trip to stops, the 1% rule, limit orders, short selling, VWAP, moving averages and the Pattern Day Trader rule. Most retries play a fresh market day.
Pattern drills
Quick rounds of chart reading: name the flag or the range, call the real breakout from the fake-out, then watch the chart play out.
Free Play
A paper account that starts at $25,000 and carries over between sessions. Trade any lesson's tools on simulated or recorded markets.
Trade journal
Every closed trade is kept with its chart, entry, exit and stop, plus a habit check and your own notes, so you can see what you did and why.
Paper Pit is a game
- Everything in it is a simulation played with pretend money. It teaches basic trading ideas, but it is not a trading tool and its results are not real-world results.
- Nothing in Paper Pit is financial, investment, tax or legal advice, or a recommendation to buy or sell anything.
- An optional live-price key (from Finnhub) only lets the game read prices. It does not connect to a broker or enable real trading, and no real money is ever involved.
- Doing well in the game does not mean you will make money trading. Studies have found that most people who day trade lose money.
