Questions about Candly
What Candly is, what it costs, and what you can learn on it.
What is Candly?
Candly is a free web app for learning daytrading, built around short daily exercises instead of long videos. You play rounds on real historical price charts, take short lessons on trading concepts, earn points, and keep a streak. People describe it as Duolingo for daytrading. Candly is education only and never touches real money.
Is Candly free?
Yes. The homepage demo and the first learning island are free to try, and the Learn path is free to follow after you sign up. Candly also has an optional paid plan called Pro, which adds the Practice hub's free-play exercises, the replay backtester, and a second daily challenge.
Who is Candly for?
Candly is for beginners who want to learn to read charts without risking money, and for traders who want daily reps on pattern recognition. No trading experience is needed to start. The learning path begins with trading psychology, then builds from candle reading into chart patterns and strategy practice.
Does Candly involve real money or real trading?
No. Candly is a practice and learning tool. Every chart is real historical market data, but nothing you do on Candly places a real order, moves real money, or carries real financial risk. Points, streaks and leaderboard places have no cash value. Candly is not a broker, an exchange, or an investment adviser, and nothing on Candly is financial advice.
What can I learn on Candly?
Candly covers the core vocabulary of daytrading: candle anatomy, candlestick patterns, support and resistance, supply and demand, market structure, breakouts and fakeouts, liquidity sweeps, fair value gaps, order blocks, risk and reward, and trading psychology. Each concept is a short lesson with a quiz, then chart exercises where you apply it.
How long does a Candly session take?
About ten minutes. A round of the chart exercise takes under a minute, and a lesson with its quiz takes a few minutes. Candly is built to be played daily in a short sitting rather than binged.
Do I need an account to use Candly?
You can play the three-round homepage demo and the first learning island without signing up. An account saves your points, your streak and your place on the learning path, and it is required to continue through the path, use the Pro Practice hub, join the leaderboard, and enter battles. Signing in works by email code or link, with Google, or with an optional password you add after signing in.
Why is it called Candly?
The name comes from candlestick, the chart format daytraders read. Candly is not related to candy, to candle shops, or to the other apps and brands that share the name. Candly the daytrading learning app lives at trycandly.com.
