Daily Challenge and Patterns: Quick Trading Practice in Minutes

Full simulation sessions are great for deep practice, but sometimes you want something quicker and more focused. That's where Daily Challenge and Patterns mode come in — two ways to learn trading and sharpen your skills in just a few minutes a day.

Why Structured Practice Matters

Random screen time in front of charts doesn't build skills efficiently. Research on expertise development shows that focused, deliberate practice — with clear tasks and immediate feedback — is what actually makes people better. Daily Challenge and Patterns mode are built on this principle. Each gives you a specific task, a clear decision to make, and instant results.

Daily Challenge

The Daily Challenge is a set of three trading setups that refreshes every day. It's designed to be a quick, habit-forming activity — something you can do during a coffee break.

How It Works

1. You're shown a historical chart setup. The asset and date are hidden.
2. Each setup comes with a difficulty rating and a success rate — telling you how other traders have performed on similar setups.
3. You adjust the stop loss and take profit levels on the chart, then decide: Long or Short.
4. The chart fast-forwards to the outcome. You see immediately whether your trade was profitable.
5. Repeat for all three setups.

What Makes It Engaging

• Three trades per day — Enough to be meaningful, short enough to fit into any schedule.
• Rating impact — Your performance on the Daily Challenge affects your skill rating, so each decision carries weight.
• Daily leaderboard — See how your rating gain and accuracy stack up against other traders on that day's setups.

The Daily Challenge is one of the best ways to build a consistent trading practice habit. Three trades, a few minutes, every day. Over weeks and months, that compounds into serious experience.

Patterns Mode

Patterns mode is focused training on specific chart patterns. It's the closest thing to targeted drills for trading — you pick a category, and the system serves you setups that match.

Six Pattern Categories

There are six categories to train on, each focusing on a different type of chart behavior:

1. Breakout — Price consolidates, then breaks out of a range. Train yourself to spot when a breakout is real and when it's a fakeout.
2. MA Crossovers — Moving average crossover setups. Learn to read the momentum shift when a faster average crosses a slower one.
3. Mean Reversion — Price moves far from its average and snaps back. Practice identifying when an asset is overextended and likely to reverse.
4. Trend Following — Jump into an established trend at the right moment. Train your eye for pullbacks within a strong trend.
5. Support & Resistance — Price bounces between key levels. Learn to identify where buyers and sellers are likely to step in.
6. Reversals — A trend changes direction. Spot the signs that a move is exhausting and a reversal is forming.

How Patterns Training Works

1. Pick a category from the selection screen.
2. You're placed on a historical chart that matches the category. Suggested indicators for that pattern type are shown.
3. The chart advances candle by candle — you control when the next candle appears by pressing the advance button.
4. When you've seen enough, set your stop loss and take profit, then make your call: Long or Short.
5. The chart plays forward to show the outcome.

The candle-by-candle format is key. It forces you to process each new piece of information as it arrives, just like you would when watching a live chart. There's no skipping ahead — you have to read the chart as it develops.

Feedback and Progress Tracking

After each setup, you see immediately whether your decision was correct, along with the P&L and rating change.

Your progress is tracked per category. You can see:

• Accuracy — What percentage of your decisions were profitable in each category.
• Setups completed — How many setups you've practiced in each category.

This makes it easy to identify which patterns you're strong at and which need more work. If your Breakout accuracy is 70% but your Reversals accuracy is 40%, you know where to focus your training.

Free and Premium Access

You get 5 Patterns drills per day for free. Premium unlocks unlimited drills and access to all pattern categories, letting you train as much as you want.

Using Both Together

Daily Challenge and Patterns mode work well as a pair. A good daily routine might look like:

1. Daily Challenge — Warm up with the three daily setups. Takes 2–3 minutes.
2. Patterns — Spend 5–10 minutes drilling a specific category you want to improve.
3. Rated Session — If you have more time, run a full Rated session to apply what you've practiced.

This combination gives you variety (different formats keep practice fresh), targeted improvement (Patterns mode builds specific skills), and measurable progress (everything feeds into your rating and analytics).
