Free trading simulator FAQ
Is there a free trading simulator?
Yes. The Daily Drill is the free trading simulator on every TradesViz plan, including the free Basic trading journal plan: one real futures, stock or forex session to trade every day, with the date hidden until you finish. Sign up with an email address, no card needed. The full trading simulator, with any symbol on any date, is on the Platinum plan.
What is the TradesViz Daily Drill?
The free trading simulator built into TradesViz. Every day it picks a real futures, stock and forex session and hides the date. You replay one of them, trade it, and when you finish you see your result and which day it was.
Which markets does the Daily Drill use?
There are three drills a day: futures (E-mini S&P 500, ES), a US stock or ETF such as SPY or QQQ, and forex (EURUSD or gold). You pick the market. Everyone who picks the same market gets the same day.
How is the drill day chosen?
From real sessions in the last two years that are at least 30 days old, with a monthly mix of trend, range, gap and event days such as CPI, FOMC and earnings days. The date stays hidden until you finish.
What can I do during the drill?
Replay the session from 1x to 300x speed, switch between 1, 5, 15 and 60 minute bars, add VWAP, EMA and volume, and trade with market, limit and stop orders plus an attached stop and target. The five days before the drill day are on the chart for context.
Can I choose the symbol or the date?
Not in the Daily Drill: the hidden date is the point of it. The full TradesViz trading simulator on the Platinum plan replays any symbol on any date, including yesterday's drill, with multi-chart replay and prop firm challenge mode.
How is my result calculated?
The session runs on our server, not in your browser. Each bar reaches your chart only after it has happened, your orders fill on the server, and the P&L, trade count and maximum drawdown come from the server's own record, so a result cannot be edited or replayed with hindsight. Reloading the page picks up where you were.
How big is the practice account?
$50,000 for every market. You can hold up to 5 ES contracts, up to 4x the account in stocks and up to 20x in forex. A $5,000 loss closes your positions and ends the session. Leaderboard scores are scaled to 1 contract, 100 shares or 1 lot, so trading bigger does not buy a rank.
Is there a leaderboard?
Yes. Every closed day ranks the players in each market, a public leaderboard adds those places up, and there are 28 badges to earn, from streaks to finishing green on a hidden FOMC day. You stay an anonymous alias unless you choose to show your display name, which also gives you a public profile page.
When does a new drill start?
Every day at midnight US Eastern time. You get one drill a day, and your streak counts the days in a row you played.
What can I do with the TradesViz REST API?
Use Python, scripts or your own applications to read and search your TradesViz accounts, trades and executions, build custom reports, and manage notes and tags. With the required permissions, you can import supported executions, edit journal entries, update trade risk settings, split or merge trades, and delete selected journal data. Execution imports currently support eligible USD US stocks and fixed-multiplier USD futures, not every asset supported by the website.
Can I connect ChatGPT or Claude to my TradesViz journal using MCP?
Yes. Connect a compatible ChatGPT, Claude or other MCP client to the hosted TradesViz MCP server using browser sign-in; no local MCP server or REST API key is needed. Ask your assistant to summarize recent trades, compare results from retrieved trades, find trades by symbol or tag, or save a review note. Editing and other journal changes require the matching permissions. Connector availability depends on your AI client and workspace settings.
How do API and MCP permissions protect my trading journal?
You select the trading accounts and permissions each API key or MCP connection can use. Start with read access and grant editing or deletion separately when needed. Day notes, day tags and general journal notes require a separate opt-in. You can revoke access from the API/MCP dashboard. These tools manage your journal; they cannot place, change or cancel broker orders. AI responses can contain mistakes, so review proposed changes before approving them.
Today's drill is open until midnight ET
Free on every plan, including the free trading journal plan. No card needed.
