A practice trade in the Forge simulator: a 5-minute Micro Dow chart with the 8 and 21 EMAs, the prior swing high marked, and the replay paused at the moment the two lines cross.
The first decision in the practice trade: state your bias, Up, Down or Stand Aside. The stats card from a live Forge account: 51 practice trades and 97 percent adherence.
Real screens from the Forge: a practice trade paused at its first decision, and the score card from a live account.

Knowledge isn’t enough. Execution is a skill.

Nobody executes cold. The Forge is the practice space: same charts, same decisions, same rules, scored every time before any money is involved.

How it works

One practice trade, start to finish.

This is the free practice trade every new member takes first, captured in the Forge as it played. Five steps, and every decision is scored.

  1. 01 · Analyze

    Read the setup.

    The session replays candle by candle and pauses the moment the two moving averages cross, the signal this strategy waits for. The chart shows only what a trader would have seen at that moment.

    A practice trade paused at its first decision: a 5-minute Micro Dow chart, the 8 and 21 EMAs crossing upward after a slide, with the prior swing high marked.
  2. 02 · Decide

    State your bias first.

    Up, down or stand aside, then a quick read of momentum on the RSI line. Each call is recorded before any order exists, so hindsight can’t rewrite it.

    Bias stated as Up, then the RSI check answered Yes: RSI is 56.3, above 50, so momentum favors the long.
  3. 03 · Execute

    Plan the entry, stop and target.

    Choose where you get in, where you’re wrong and where you take profit. The plan is graded before price moves. This one graded A.

    The plan on the chart: a buy limit at the retest, the stop below it and the target at the prior swing high.The entry panel: entry B at the retest, buy limit 43,829, stop 43,799, target 44,013 at the prior swing high.
  4. 04 · Evaluate

    Scored on your rules, not the result.

    This trade hit its target and still scored 83%, because one rule was skipped: the journal note. Profit never covers for a broken rule.

    The finished trade: filled at the retest, then a rally to the prior swing high where the target was hit.
    The practice trade score: target hit, 83 percent rule adherence, five rules passed and one failed, the journal note.
  5. 05 · Improve

    See what to fix next.

    Adherence Insights breaks your record down rule by rule and shows whether your recent practice trades beat the ones before. Shown here from a live account.

    Adherence Insights from a live account: 97 percent lifetime adherence over 47 practice trades, and the last 10 practice trades at 99 percent against 90 percent for the 10 before.

Before the practice trades, 40+ free narrated lessons take you from your first candle to a complete strategy.

Before you decide

The questions people actually ask.

Is the free version really free? What is the catch?

No catch. No card, no trial clock.

  • 40+ lessons and 25+ drills in three parts, with more added regularly.
  • Plus your first scored practice trade, which you can replay as often as you like.
  • It is free because the fastest way to show you the training works is to let you use it.
Why not just paper trade for free?

Paper trading tracks profit and loss. The Forge tracks whether you made the right decision.

  • That includes the hardest decision: not trading. Correctly sitting out a choppy session scores 100 percent.
  • Paper trading keeps no record of the rule you break most, or what you were feeling when you broke it.
  • Both matter. This does not replace screen time.
What happens after the 7-day trial?

You pay nothing today. If you do not cancel within the 7 days, your plan bills at the price you picked.

  • Checkout asks for a card or bank account to start the trial.
  • Cancel before the 7 days end and you are not charged.
  • After that, payments are not refunded and partial periods are not prorated. The Refund and Billing Policy has the detail.
Will I make money?

No promise is made, and any trading education that makes one should worry you.

  • No profit screenshots. No real account balances. Members are not scored on profit.
  • What you leave with is a trading plan in your own words and a record of how closely you follow it.
  • Trading carries real risk of loss.
