How a race works
- Pick a length: Sprint (60 seconds), Race (3 minutes) or Marathon (5 minutes).
- You get $10,000 of play money with 10× leverage on six markets, from a calm gold to a wild meme coin. Three more open as you level up.
- Buy if you think the price will rise, sell if you think it will fall. Choose a size, a stop-loss and a take-profit; the panel shows the dollars you’re risking.
- Watch for breaking news: a headline hits one market and it moves a second later. Some of it is a fake-out.
- When the clock hits zero every position closes. The highest balance wins.

8 badges reward habits, not luck: closing trades with a stop-loss, winning twice what you lose, five days in a row.
Learn, then practise
Six short lessons, each with a practice race and one goal to hit.
- Lesson 1Read a candleWhat one candle tells you, how to spot a trend from a row of them, and a 60-second practice race to try it with play money.
- Lesson 2Set a stop-lossDecide your loss before you enter: where a stop-loss goes, why it belongs beyond the last swing, and a practice race to set one.
- Lesson 3Take profit on purposePlan your exit before you enter: setting a take-profit at least twice as far as your stop, and a practice race where one has to hit.
- Lesson 4Size your positionHow much to put in one trade, why leverage makes it matter more, and a practice race where no trade may use more than half your buying power.
- Lesson 5Win bigger than you loseWhy the size of your wins against your losses matters more than how often you win, and a practice race to finish with wins twice your losses.
- Lesson 6Trade fewer, betterOvertrading, revenge trades and chasing: the habits that sink a race, and a practice race to finish in profit with five trades or fewer.
Questions
Is Market Racers free? Is any real money involved?
It's free and uses play money only. Every race starts you with $10,000 of pretend cash; nothing you do in the game touches a real account, and there is nothing to buy.
How does the rating work?
Everyone starts at 1000. Each rated race puts you against four bots rated close to you. Finish above the field's expectation and your rating rises; finish below it and it falls. First place against an equal field is worth +32 in your first 20 races and +16 after that. Leaving a rated race early counts as last place.
Are the bots beatable?
Yes, and they get better as you do. A bot's rating sets how often it reads the market right and how big it trades, so a 1000-rated field is beatable with a plan and a 1700-rated field takes real discipline.
What do I need to do to place in a race?
Make at least one trade. A racer who sits in cash all race is classified last (did not start), because holding $10,000 would otherwise beat any field that took a loss.
What is the Daily Race?
One 3-minute race a day on the same market, with the same news and the same four rivals, for every player. You get one attempt; the board ranks everyone by return, and you can share your result. A new market opens at midnight India time.
Can I race a friend?
Yes. After any race, tap Challenge a friend to get a link. Your friend races the exact same market, news and rivals, with your run racing beside them as a ghost, and the challenge keeps its own board of everyone who tried it.
Is this a trading simulator or paper trading?
Close to both, built as a game. Like a trading simulator, the market moves on its own with a live chart, a bid and ask spread, and stop-losses that can slip. Like paper trading, the money is not real. The difference is the race: a 60-second to 5-minute clock and four rivals, so every session ends with a clear result. It runs in the browser on a phone, with no app to download.
Does practising here make me a better real-world trader?
It trains the habits that matter, like setting a stop-loss before you enter, sizing a position so one move can't wipe you out, and reviewing your win rate and payoff after each session. The markets are simulated, though, and real markets add costs, gaps and emotions that play money can't. Treat it as practice, not a signal.
