How ChartingPark Works

What is ChartingPark?

ChartingPark is a fast-forward trading simulator and trading game designed for technical traders. Unlike traditional demo accounts or paper trading where you must wait in real time for trades to play out, ChartingPark lets you practice with historical market data at accelerated speed. This means you can simulate days of market activity in just minutes and receive instant feedback on your decisions.

The Core Idea

The goal of ChartingPark is to help traders build consistency, strategy discipline, and risk management skills. It combines realistic charting with gamified features such as ratings, streaks, leaderboards, and challenges to keep practice engaging over time.

How Simulation Works

• Fast-Forward Price Action: You control the playback of candlesticks—pause, play, or fast-forward until your stop loss or take profit is hit.
• TradingView Charts: Built on the same professional tools that real traders use, supporting multiple timeframes and indicators.
• Trading Panel: Before each trade, set your stop loss, take profit, and position size, then choose long or short.
• Immediate Outcomes: When a trade closes, you get feedback in R-multiples and metrics like win rate, reward-to-risk ratio, and expectancy.

Rated vs Drill Sessions

Every trade happens within a session. There are two modes:

• Rated Sessions: Count toward your rating, streaks, and challenges. Each closed position awards or deducts rating points based on your setup and outcome.
• Drill Sessions: Let you practice freely without affecting your rating. Ideal for experimenting with new strategies or indicators.

How Rating is Calculated

ChartingPark uses a position-based rating system. When you close a trade, the system compares your actual reward-to-risk outcome to the expected one you defined with your stop loss and take profit. Efficient risk management and consistent execution are rewarded with higher scores, while undisciplined trades lead to rating penalties. This ensures that skill, not luck, drives progress.

Progression & Gamification

• Leaderboards: Seasonal rankings show who gained the most rating points, with badges awarded to top performers.
• Challenges: Structured goals like hitting consecutive wins or achieving a specific R:R ratio encourage consistent practice.
• Streaks: Daily trading streaks motivate regular engagement, visualized with heatmaps and milestone celebrations.
• Awards & Avatars: Completing epic challenges or reaching rating milestones unlocks collectible avatars and badges.

Why This Approach Works

Most traders fail not because they lack knowledge, but because they lack structured practice and feedback loops. By providing fast, repeatable trading simulations, ChartingPark helps traders build habits that translate into better decision-making in live markets. The combination of technical realism and game-like motivation ensures practice is both effective and enjoyable.

Who Benefits Most

• Aspiring traders looking to practice before risking real money.
• Intermediate traders who understand basics but want to refine execution and discipline.
• Competitive learners who enjoy leaderboards, streaks, and measurable progress.
