Learn to trade the way you learn a language.
Every lesson, quiz and chart exercise earns XP. XP raises your level — up to 100 — and a level once reached is never lost. Streaks, a daily chest, keys and badges keep the habit going. And one rule holds everywhere: XP measures what you learned, never what you earned.
Why levels in a trading school?
Trading gives terrible feedback: a good decision can lose and a reckless one can pay, and it takes a hundred trades before a win rate means anything. A beginner has no way to tell progress from luck — so the board measures the part they control. Lessons finished, questions answered, charts practised, trades recorded. Recording a loss pays exactly what recording a win pays, nothing on the board is ranked by money, and XP can never be bought.
Is this Duolingo for trading?
In the way it builds a habit, yes: short lessons, XP, levels, a daily streak and a reward for coming back. The difference is what sits underneath — a 33-module trading syllabus taught by an AI tutor, quizzes that explain the right answer, and charts you mark yourself. AI Trade Ideas is not affiliated with Duolingo; the comparison is only about how the learning is paced.
What earns XP
Up to 650 XP a day, so nobody can farm a level in one weekend.

Learning streaks
A day counts when you learn something — a lesson, a quiz, a video, a practice chart. Opening the app is not enough. Freezes cover a missed day, because losing a forty-day streak to a flight is how people quit.

- A week of learning+150 XP · 2 keys

The daily chest
Log in and open one chest a day. The ladder runs 14 days and the last days are worth the most, so the longer the run, the more a missed day costs.

Keys and the vault
Keys come from modules, chests, streaks and badges, and they are spent in the vault on things worth having: extra coach messages, extra analyses, a streak freeze, a week of an add-on, opening the next module early. Keys buy product, never money off — and neither keys nor XP can be bought with money.
10 badge tracks, five tiers each
Bronze · Silver · Gold · Platinum · Obsidian — every track counts something you did, never a result.
