Educational Trading Simulator

The only training simulator where the chart hasn't happened yet.

Historical charts are readable — your brain already knows the ending. So we generate brand-new synthetic charts that move with realistic, true-to-life price behavior. Every chart is synthetic, every chart is unseen, and every decision you practise is your own.

Not backtesting. Not paper trading. Something built for how real trading actually feels.

Three ways to practice options. Only one of them trains you to decide under genuine uncertainty.

Backtesting Paper Trading Options Simulator
Data source Historical — you know how it ends Live market — slow and news-driven Synthetically generated — no one has seen it
Hindsight bias High Low None
Speed Fast (reads the past) Real-time (days to weeks) Controllable (1× to 10×)
Decision pressure None — outcome is already known Some — but delayed High — every candle is unknown
Options coverage Limited Depends on broker Full chain, 35+ strategies, all Greeks
Cost to start Paid platforms / scripting Broker account required Free, no signup

Your backtests looked great. Real markets felt different. Here's why training matters.

Practise on markets nobody has ever seen.

Backtesting replays history — your brain reads the chart backwards, even when you think it doesn't. Our 8 models generate completely new price data with realistic, true-to-life behavior. Steady drifts, sudden shocks, shifting volatility, perfect storms — you never know what comes next.

Charts that move like the real thing.

From Steady Drift for beginners to Perfect Storm for professionals — each model simulates different market behaviour with increasing accuracy. Essential models teach you the fundamentals. Advanced Dynamics add realistic volatility behaviour. Professional Grade models deliver the most detailed, lifelike price behavior the simulator generates.

A year of synthetic chart in 5 minutes.

Paper trading means waiting weeks for results on data you already suspect. Here, you generate an entire year of synthetic chart and practise 35+ options strategies — from Covered Calls to Iron Condors — in a single session. Your AI Mentor explains every decision, walks you through the Greeks, and highlights textbook strategies that historically match this simulated scenario.

Start practising in three steps

1

Choose a model and a ticker

Pick one of 8 price models and enter a ticker symbol. Each model generates a brand-new, unknown synthetic scenario — no two simulations are ever the same.

2

Generate and play

Generate the chart and watch price unfold candle by candle, in real time or at up to 10× speed. Pause, rewind, or step through single candles whenever you want to think.

3

Trade and analyze

Buy and sell stocks and options, track your portfolio and Greeks live, and learn from the outcome of every simulated trade — with an AI Mentor explaining the why behind each move.

The full mechanics of a trading platform. None of the real risk.

Generate a synthetic market. Then simulate trades on it — with a full option chain, real-time Greeks, portfolio tracking, and professional analytics.

Option chain with live Greeks

Option Chain & Greeks

Full option chain with calls, puts, realistic strike prices, and real-time Greeks — Delta, Gamma, Theta, Vega, Rho. Buy and sell synthetic options just like you would on a real broker platform — except nothing is settled in real markets.

Portfolio and positions panel

Portfolio & Positions

Track your cash, open positions, unrealized P/L, and portfolio Greeks in real time. Close positions, manage risk, and watch your simulated strategy play out.

Dashboard with equity curve and trade history

Dashboard

Save your simulations and analyze your performance over time. Equity curve, win rate, P/L by ticker, and a full history of every analysis you've run.

Deep analytics metrics

Deep Analytics

Sharpe ratio, max drawdown, P/L distribution, total trades — professional-grade metrics that tell you not just the simulated outcome, but how and why your decisions played out.

Don't just click. Understand the mechanics.

Professional-grade analytics that explain what this synthetic chart is doing right now, what textbook patterns it resembles, and which educational strategies typically match this scenario.

Implied volatility analysis panel

IV Analysis

Know when volatility is extreme. IV Rank, IV Percentile, expected price range, and IV crush risk — all in one view. The simulator shows whether the options in this synthetic scenario are statistically cheap or expensive based on IV Rank and Percentile.

Probability of profit visualization

Probability

See the textbook probability of profit before you place a simulated trade. Probability of Profit, breakeven price, max profit, and max loss — calculated in real time for your exact position.

Implied vs historical volatility chart

Volatility

Track implied vs. historical volatility. Visual comparison of IV and HV over time with Bollinger Bands and moving averages. Spot when synthetic volatility is statistically mispriced in this scenario.

Put/Call ratio and Max Pain sentiment

Sentiment

Read the synthetic market's mood. Put/Call Ratio and Max Pain analysis show where the crowd is positioned — and where this simulated chart might move next.

Gamma exposure by strike

GEX

Learn how Gamma Exposure analysis is read by market makers. Gamma Exposure by strike reveals where market makers are positioned, helping you anticipate potential support and resistance levels.

Volatility Risk Premium and textbook strategy examples

VRP & Textbook Plays

Practise reading VRP regimes and see which textbook plays historically match them. In this scenario, the simulator highlights educational examples — not personalised investment advice.

Implied volatility analysis panel

Monte-Carlo

See the full range of outcomes, not a single guess. Monte Carlo runs thousands of simulated price paths to build a P/L distribution, fan chart, VaR/CVaR, and probability of profit for your position. It shows how this synthetic scenario could unfold across many possible futures — so you can weigh risk before you commit.

8 ways a synthetic chart can unfold.

From steady growth to sudden crashes. Each model creates a different synthetic scenario — all realistic, all completely unknown.

The questions every trader asks before they try it.

Straight answers to the objections we hear most often.

Simulated data isn't real — so what's the point?
Neither is historical data — it's just data from a past that won't repeat. Our models generate prices with the same statistical properties as real markets: same volatility regimes, same drift, same tail risk. Pilots don't train in real planes either — and aviation is safer because of it.
Why pay for this when I can backtest for free on tastytrade?
Backtesting shows you what would have happened. Simulation trains you for what to do when you don't know what will happen. That's a fundamentally different skill — and the one that decides whether your live account survives.
You don't have real live data or an order book.
Correct — and deliberately so. The goal isn't to replicate a broker, it's to train decision-making under uncertainty. When your strategy feels right here, where every outcome is unknown, you'll be more confident in a real market.
I can just paper trade on my broker for free.
Paper trading runs on live data — you wait days or weeks for results and get influenced by news, sentiment, and FOMO on familiar tickers. Here you generate an entire year of unknown synthetic chart in minutes and focus purely on the strategy.
8 models sounds complicated for a beginner.
Start with Steady Drift — the simplest model. The simulator suggests a starting model based on experience level, and the AI Mentor explains anything you don't recognize. You don't need to understand the math; click Generate and start practising.
