What Makes SimTick Different?
We're not just another trading simulator. We provide realistic market conditions with authentic micro-structure for serious pattern recognition practice.
Tick-by-Tick Realism
Most trading simulators show you candlesticks that appear all at once. SimTick shows you how markets actually work — individual trades, spread fluctuations, and order flow micro-structure.
Experience authentic market moments where every tick represents a real buyer or seller. This fidelity matters when developing pattern recognition habits.
Unlike Thinkorswim Paper Trading or TradingView simulators that use bar-by-bar data

Frequently Asked Questions
How is SimTick different from Thinkorswim Paper Trading?
SimTick shows real market microstructure tick-by-tick, allowing you to see how patterns develop in authentic market conditions. Thinkorswim Paper Trading displays complete candlesticks, removing the time-based learning curve of watching price action evolve.
Can I learn trading patterns without risking real money?
Yes, that's exactly what SimTick was built for. Every simulation uses historical market data with realistic spread and execution conditions, but no financial capital is at risk.
What's the difference between candle-based and tick-by-tick simulation?
Tick-by-tick shows individual buyer/seller activity - the real market microstructure. Candle-based simulators show completed price bars at end-of-period, losing the temporal development of patterns that expert traders watch.
Our Philosophy
“Trading mastery isn't born in brilliance—it's forged through thousands of price action repetitions. Every chart you study, every entry you time, every exit you execute in practice builds the neural pathways that make you a naturally intuitive trader.”
Real trading requires instant decisions under pressure. SimTick gives you the safe space to develop that deep intuition through endless practice—until trading feels like second nature, and fear becomes just another data point to read.
