Mentored trading lab
From first lesson to first logged trade
Qtrades connects its academy, trading plan, trading terminal, replay terminal, and journal - so progress is measurable, not just motivational.
Risk. Qtrades is education and simulated trading only. No real money moves, nothing here is investment advice, and simulated results say little about live trading.

How it works
One path, five stages
Each stage feeds the next - study opens practice, practice opens the journal, the journal informs behaviour, reviews and evaluations.
- Study (Done)
Structured academy lessons with practice links into the terminal.
- Plan (Done)
Create your own Trading Plan and stick to it.
- Paper trade (Current step)
Live charts, orders, evaluations, and replay - all simulated.
- Journal (Locked)
Log every trade in your own trading journal, monitor your behaviour
- Exam & grow (Locked)
Course exams, certificates, and prop-style evaluation challenges.
Example of a learner partway along the path. Your own path shows what is open, what is locked and what unlocks it.

FAQ
Common questions
Straight answers before you ask for access.
Is this real-money trading?
No. Qtrades is education and paper trading. Charts and market data are for practice, and nothing here sends live orders to a broker.
Can I try a lesson before I sign up?
Yes. Lesson 1 of Trading From Zero is free to read without an account.
What can I practice on?
Micro futures and a few crypto pairs on the paper engine, using delayed or free public data depending on the instrument.
How do I get access?
Request access with your email and confirm the address. A person then approves your account and we email you as soon as it's approved. After that you set up two-factor sign-in with an authenticator app.
What are evaluations?
Simulated challenges with drawdown and daily-loss rules on practice capital. Passing one moves you to a funded sim account. Both are simulations: no real funds, and nothing is paid out.
Is paper trading the same as live markets?
No. Simulated fills can differ from live execution because of slippage, liquidity and latency. Treat results as practice feedback, not a guide to live results.
Do you sell my data?
No. The Privacy Policy lists what we collect (account, journal and product usage) and how it is used to run the service.
How do I contact you?
Use the Contact page. Say whether your note is about access, a bug or feedback, and include your username if you have one.
