TradeWize

TradeWize is a free, interactive platform for learning to invest and trade — no experience needed to start. The free tier includes 20 structured stages, 172 lessons, and 100+ mini-games, plus a simulator that uses virtual coins so users practice buying and selling without risking real money — no credit card required. It covers long-term, low-cost investing end to end (passive, index-fund-first): money basics, asset classes, index funds and ETFs, brokers and accounts, reading financial statements, valuation, portfolio construction, and investor psychology. Lessons use active recall and spaced practice to aid retention. Coach Chad, the built-in AI coach, is included on the free tier: he reads any chart before you trade and grades every practice trade after you close it, naming the habit behind it and the lesson that fixes it. He never gives a direction, a price target or a call, which is what makes him a coach rather than a signal service — free tier gets one full analysis a week, Premium gets five a day. An optional Premium tier adds an active-trading track — technical analysis, options, futures, forex, and crypto — with pro-grade charts and real-time market data. TradeWize is educational only: virtual coins, no real money, no real trades, and no personalized financial advice.
