A Chartle alternative: five scored charts a day, in the browser
Chartle is a neat daily habit: a real historical chart cut off where a pattern finished forming, you call up or down (or name the pattern), the hidden candles grow in, and the pattern is named in one line. One free chart a day lives on the website; the full daily practice and all 49 patterns are in the iPhone and Android app.
VerTrader is the same daily loop with a different emphasis: five puzzles a day instead of one, three answers instead of two (Buy, Sell or Wait, because sometimes the right read is to stay out), a result in risk units rather than right/wrong, and a chess-style rating measured on the same five puzzles as everyone else. It runs in the browser, no download.

Which one fits you
When to choose Chartle
- You want to learn the names of 49 patterns with a card for each.
- You prefer a native phone app with one quick chart a day.
- You want every question on a real historical chart.
When to choose VerTrader
- You want more than one chart a day without installing anything.
- You want "Wait" to be an answer: not every chart is a trade.

- You want one rating that shows whether your reading is improving week to week.
They stack well: name the pattern in Chartle, then decide whether to trade it in VerTrader.
Frequently asked questions
Is Chartle free?
Its website says the app is free to download, with one free chart a day on the web and the full daily practice in the app. Check chartleapp.com for current details.
Does VerTrader use real charts like Chartle?
No. VerTrader's charts come from a market simulator that reproduces real behavior (trends, ranges, news candles, sweeps). Nobody can remember what happens next, and everyone gets the same puzzle. If you want only real history, Chartle fits.
Can I try VerTrader without signing up?
Yes. The 10-question chart reading test and the sample puzzle on the home page need no account.
Does VerTrader give signals?
No. Education and practice only: no signals, no investment advice, no real money.
