About CandleDojo
CandleDojo helps traders warm up before the market opens and stay sharp through the day with deliberate chart-reading reps. It is not a broker, not a paper-trading platform, and not a backtesting tool. It isolates one skill: reading what a chart is telling you right now.
Brand note: CandleDojo is the primary product name. Also written as Candle Dojo. Official site: candledojo.app.
What it is
CandleDojo, also written as Candle Dojo, shows you a real historical price chart frozen at a moment in time, asks you to call Long or Short, then replays the next candles so you can see what happened.
Every scenario uses genuine market data from 4 instruments across crypto, forex, and commodities. Two timeframes per scenario: a context chart showing the broader trend and an entry chart showing the precise decision point.
Progress is tracked through a belt system (White through Black) based on lifetime XP. Belts mark long-term training progress and give your practice a visible progression arc.
Who it is for
Intermediate traders who already understand candlesticks, support and resistance, and basic price action. People who have placed trades before but want to build faster, more accurate chart reads through structured repetition.
If you can name the major candlestick patterns but struggle to spot them in real-time on a live chart, CandleDojo is built for you. It compresses months of screen time into short daily practice sessions.
Who it is not for
CandleDojo is not a trading course. If you are brand new to candlestick charts and need to learn what a wick or a body is, start with educational resources first. CandleDojo assumes you already know the basics.
It is also not for people looking for a broker, trade execution, live market data, or financial advice. CandleDojo does not connect to any exchange, does not place trades, and does not recommend positions.
How it works
You see a frozen chart at a specific moment in time. Two charts: the context chart (higher timeframe, 22 candles) and the entry chart (lower timeframe, 26 candles). You study both, then call Long or Short.
After your call, the entry chart replays forward candle by candle, revealing what happened next. Your call is scored against the side the fixed 30-candle replay rewards, and the scenario set is curated so that rewarded side also agrees with the higher-timeframe trend. You earn XP based on difficulty and correctness.
Three timeframe pairs are available: Scalp (15M context / 1M entry), Intraday (4H / 15M), and Swing (Daily / 4H). All data is real historical OHLC from actual markets.
Why it exists
Most traders learn candlestick patterns from textbook diagrams: clean, idealized drawings that look nothing like real charts. When they sit down in front of a live market, the patterns are harder to see, the noise is louder, and hesitation creeps in.
CandleDojo bridges that gap through reps. The same way athletes drill fundamentals, traders can drill chart reading. Real data, real messiness, real decision pressure, but without real money on the line.
Build story
CandleDojo was built as a solo-dev project around one simple idea: traders do not just need more theory, they need more deliberate reps. The product loop was designed to make chart reading feel like daily practice instead of occasional study.
The hardest part was not drawing candlesticks. It was selecting useful decision points, balancing scenario difficulty, and turning each replay into feedback that helps traders build pattern recognition faster.
The product notes stay focused on the training loop: how scenarios are selected, how feedback is framed, and why CandleDojo deliberately avoids broker-style mechanics.

What it is not
CandleDojo is a training tool. To be explicit about what it is not:
It does one thing: train your ability to read a chart and make a directional call before the fixed replay outcome is revealed. Everything else is out of scope by design.
