A tour of your Lab workspace

Arena, Daily Challenge, Hall of Discipline, Performance and the learning path — what each one is for.

Everything in the Lab hangs off the sidebar on the left. Here is what each part does.

The sidebar

  • ⚡ Trading Arena — free practice. A fresh unknown chart every time, no lesson attached. This is where you put in reps.
  • 📅 Daily Challenge — one chart a day, the same for everyone. Clear it to keep your streak.
  • 🏆 Hall of Discipline — the leaderboard. Ranked on Decision Quality over the last seven days, never on profit.
  • 📊 Performance — your history: an Overview tab and a full Journal tab.
  • Learning path — the four modules and their lessons, with a tick against each one you have cleared.

The learning path

Four modules, in order:

ModuleWhat it drills
1 · Risk ManagementStops, position sizing, exposure vs risk, never averaging a loser.
2 · Booking Losses & ProfitsTaking the small planned loss; letting winners run instead of snatching at them.
3 · Discipline & PsychologyPatience, revenge trading, overtrading — the enemy in the mirror.
4 · Reading the MarketTrending, ranging and volatile conditions, and playing each one differently.

Each lesson explains one concept, then drops you into the Arena with the market condition, timeframe and mission that drill it. Clearing the mission completes the lesson. Module 1 is free; the rest need Lab Pro.

Your workspace home

The workspace shows your current Decision Quality, patience and consistency, your last session, the weakness the Lab thinks you should work on next, and today's challenge. It is designed so you never have to decide what to practise — it tells you.

Reminder. The Trading Lab is an educational simulation running on synthetic data with play capital. Nothing here is investment advice, no buy or sell call is given on any real security, and no claim is made about returns.

Try it in the Arena.

Reading about it only goes so far — the skill comes from the reps.
