A simulator is excellent for learning order types, sizing and the habit of following a plan. It is poor at reproducing fear, because nothing is at stake.
How to use it well
- Practise one fixed rule set for a month, not random trades
- Record every trade as if it were real
- Count costs and slippage
- Keep practising until the process is boringly consistent
The lab on this platform uses synthetic price data. It shows how risk and costs behave. It says nothing about any real market.
Educational content only. It is not investment advice or a recommendation, and trading carries a high risk of loss. Figures are illustrative.
