TradingLife

TradingLife is a trading simulation built around historical market data. You trade instruments across several markets, use professional trading tools and review your performance with calendars, journals and trade analytics.

Market simulation

Market data comes from real historical 1-minute candlesticks. The game generates real-time price movements from the open, high, low and close of the current 1-minute candle, combined with recent volatility characteristics. Its algorithms recreate the rhythm and behavior of live markets. Time is shifted into the future so the historical data feels like an unfamiliar market rather than a backtest, while a day/night cycle and sleep system reflect the routine of trading.

Markets and modes

TradingLife includes crypto, stock index futures, gold (XAU) and forex (FX). More markets are available through the Workshop. Its modes cover different kinds of trading and practice:

• Origin: A roguelike trading mode that turns trading into a game.
• Custom: Set your starting capital, markets and rules to create a training environment.
• Propfirm: Attempt Prop Firm-style evaluations that test profitability, drawdown management and risk control.
• Arena: Take on one daily challenge, trading under identical market conditions and competing with other players on percentage returns.
• Present: Connect to real-time market data and trade in the actual market.
• Companion: Trade alongside a personal trading buddy.

Tools and trade review

Trading tools include indicators, multiple timeframes, drawing tools, multi-chart layouts and a complete order system. A trading calendar tracks progress day by day, while custom journal templates let you record your entry thesis, risk plan, execution process and emotional state. Journal analytics can filter and compare records across different types of trades to help identify effective trading styles and setups. Each trade automatically captures screenshots of its entry and exit, which you can review on the chart and practice again.
