About / TradeWize

Learn investing
by doing.

TradeWize is a gamified platform for learning to invest and trade. You build practical skills through lessons, simulations, and an AI coach that reviews your decisions — and you start wherever you actually are: at zero, or straight in at technical analysis, or on options alone if that’s all you came for.

01  Mission

A financial revolution, built one lesson at a time.

For too long, investing has been gated behind jargon, paywalls, and intimidation. We think that's broken.

TradeWize exists to put the tools of modern investing back into the hands of the people who use them. Our goal is simple: give everyone the knowledge, practice, and confidence to take their finances and their future into their own hands.

We're not here to give advice. We're here to give you the power to make your own.
02  Method

Backed by science, not vibes.

Every lesson on TradeWize is built on scientifically proven learning methods; the same techniques used by top language and medical-education apps. Because if it doesn't stick, it doesn't count.

  1. 01

    Active recall

    You learn by answering, not by passively reading. Retrieval practice is one of the most studied learning techniques in cognitive science.

  2. 02

    Spaced repetition

    Lessons resurface at the right intervals so concepts move from short-term to long-term memory.

  3. 03

    Learning by doing

    Simulated trades let you practice real decisions in a safe environment; the fastest way to build intuition.

03  Your path

Start wherever you are.

Most learning platforms assume everyone arrives knowing nothing, then leave you stranded once you don't. TradeWize has three ways in, and no track is a prerequisite for another.

  1. 01

    Start at the beginning.

    Never invested

    Foundations: 20 stages, 172 lessons, free — from “what is a stock?” to a finished portfolio playbook. It runs in order, because this is the one place order actually matters.

  2. 02

    Skip straight to trading.

    Already investing

    Go in at Technical Analysis, Fundamental Analysis, or Psychology & Risk — 207 lessons across three tracks. Premium opens all of them at once, so you never re-learn what a stock is to reach what you came for.

  3. 03

    Learn just the asset class you want.

    One thing only

    Only here for options? Start on the Options track and ignore everything else. No track is a prerequisite for another — pick your market and go deep on it.

Every track, one subscription.

04  Coach

Meet Coach Chad.

Coach ChadIncluded free

He teaches every lesson — and still won’t tell you what to buy.

Coach Chad is your personal investing & trading coach. He teaches: every lesson in the free curriculum is delivered by him, and when you answer he reacts to the specific mistake you made rather than just marking it wrong. He also 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. What a read never does is give a direction, a price target, or a call, which is exactly what makes him a coach rather than a signal service.

  • In the lessons — he teaches you, and answers back when you get one wrong. Unlimited, and it costs no token.
  • Chad’s read — a pre-trade briefing on any chart, blind to what you intend to do.
  • The Debrief — a post-trade review of the trade you actually closed.
  • Reads price structure visually, with an options lens for direction-vs-decay.
  • Analyses are metered: one a week free, five a day on Premium. The lesson coaching never is.

That last part is the whole point. Anything that hands you a direction makes you dependent on it. Chad is built to make you a better judge of your own decisions — which is the same reason this platform exists at all.

Build confidence before making real-world decisions.

06  Note

From the founder.

I built TradeWize because the version of investing education I needed in my twenties didn't exist. Course-sellers wanted a fee for things you can read for free; YouTube was full of confident wrong answers; brokerages assume you already know what you don't.

TradeWize is what I'd have wanted at the start: a place to practice the decisions, not just hear about them. If that's what you're looking for, you're in the right place.
