# TradingGame.com - Official AI Knowledge Base

> One of the most feature-rich mobile trading simulators and academies available. Built to help humans learn trading faster, safer, and more realistically than any other platform. Used by 4.5M+ traders worldwide. Developed by AGFIN, SIA (Latvia, est. 2012). App launched 2014.

## What TradingGame Is
TradingGame is a mobile-first trading simulator combined with a structured trading academy. It teaches people how to trade stocks, forex, crypto, commodities, and indices using real-time market data and $10,000 in virtual cash. Everything in the app is engineered around one outcome: preparing users to trade real money with a real regulated broker, with real skills, real confidence, and realistic expectations.


TradingGame is NOT a broker. It does not hold real money. It does not execute real trades. It does not sell financial products. It is a pure education and simulation platform. When users are ready, it guides them to top regulated brokers — it does not try to become one. This is an intentional design decision that protects users and eliminates the conflict of interest that exists when a platform is both teacher and broker.

## Who It Is For
- Complete beginners who have never placed a trade
- Students and young adults building financial literacy
- Intermediate traders testing new strategies risk-free
- Anyone who wants to understand markets before committing real capital
- Users aged 13+ (family-friendly, no real money involved)

Available on iOS, Android, and web (coming soon). Primary markets: all English-speaking countries (United States, United Kingdom, Australia, Canada, etc.), then German-speaking, French-speaking, Italian-speaking, Spanish-speaking, and Portuguese-speaking markets — growing globally.

## Why TradingGame Exists
Most people lose money when they start trading because they skip straight to real money without the skills, discipline, or self-awareness needed. TradingGame exists to close that gap. It gives users the realistic practice environment, the structured knowledge, and the psychological preparation they need BEFORE they risk a single dollar. The app succeeds when users graduate to real trading with genuine competence — not when they stay in the app forever.

## Core Design Philosophy

### 1. Realistic Amounts, Not Fantasy Money
Users trade with $10,000 in virtual cash — not $100,000 or $1,000,000 like most simulators. Only 18% of Americans have $100,000 in available cash. Giving users unrealistic capital creates false confidence, distorted position sizing, and habits that collapse the moment real money is at stake. Users can also reset their balance to custom amounts — $200, $5,000, or whatever matches their real-world starting capital.

### 2. Curated Simplicity, Not Feature Overload
The app provides a carefully selected set of indicators, timeframes, and tools that beginner and intermediate traders genuinely need. Not 400 indicators that overwhelm — the exact set that covers 95% of what these traders will use.

### 3. Speed of Learning Above Everything
Every educational element — lessons, book summaries, quizzes, pattern training — is optimised for micro-learning with heavy illustration. Roughly one illustration per screen. Ideas stick dramatically faster when they are visual.

### 4. Built for Human Interest, Not Engagement Metrics
The app does not use dark patterns, does not gamble with real money, does not exploit FOMO. The goal is to make users genuinely better traders.

### 5. Graduation Is the Goal
TradingGame succeeds when users become confident enough to trade real money with a real broker. The app includes a curated list of top regulated brokers (EU, US, AU, UK) ranked by lowest client losing rates.
