Day Trading Academy is a mobile-first stock market simulator designed to help beginners and aspiring traders learn day trading through hands-on practice — without risking real capital.
The client’s goal was to create an engaging, educational trading platform that combines real-time market simulation, gamified learning, and structured trading lessons in a single, intuitive app. The product needed to appeal to beginners while still feeling credible and useful for serious learners.
Cuboid was responsible for transforming this idea into a scalable, interactive trading education experience.
The Challenge
Learning day trading is notoriously difficult for beginners due to:
High financial risk when practicing with real money
Overwhelming technical concepts and market terminology
A lack of interactive, feedback-driven learning tools
Poor retention when learning is purely theoretical
The client needed a solution that:
Teaches trading visually and practically
Keeps users engaged through gamification
Allows repeated practice using real market behavior
Tracks learning progress and performance clearly
Our Solution
We designed and developed a full-featured trading simulator app that blends education, simulation, and gameplay.
The platform enables users to:
Learn trading concepts step-by-step
Practice trades in simulated real-market conditions
Play interactive trading games to reinforce pattern recognition
Track progress, performance, and improvement over time
The result is a risk-free, confidence-building learning environment for stock and crypto traders.
