Practicing chart reading without risking money
Short guides written for the questions people ask before they find a practice tool: how to practice technical analysis for free, how to learn candlestick charts by doing rather than memorising, which kind of simulator to start with, and when bar replay beats chart puzzles (and when it doesn't).
They describe VerTrader where it fits and say plainly where another tool fits better. VerTrader is a chart-reading practice game: five simulated chart puzzles a day, Buy, Sell or Wait, a reveal, a score and a chess-style rating. Education only.
