Trading can feel like a wall of jargon. Start with one small decision instead. FundedReady gives you free games, short lessons, and feedback you can connect with the chart. You do not need prior experience, a brokerage account, or a paid course.

## Start with five decisions

[Open Decision Arcade](/?mode=arcade). Read a short setup, choose an answer, and see why it works. The questions cover when to enter, when to wait, and how risk changes with size. First-time correct answers earn XP in your skill collection.

## Read your first chart

[Try Bull Flag Level 1](/?course=bull&level=1). Learn what the candles show, find the move and pause, and choose a simulated entry. Use the guided rounds if you want help with the controls. Afterward, replay your decision.

## Learn risk alongside patterns

[Play the risk game](/?mode=arcade&skill=risk). Compare stop distance, position size, and planned loss. Then [try patience questions](/?mode=arcade&skill=discipline): sometimes the sensible decision is to wait or skip.

## Keep one useful note

After a session, write what you noticed and what you would try next. Return to a card after a gap to check your recall, or pick another [free course](/courses/). There is no deadline to finish and no game badge that proves you can trade profitably.

## Choose your next topic

Explore [chart patterns](/learn/pattern-recognition-trading/), [indicator lessons](/library/), [risk sizing](/learn/position-sizing-day-trading/), or [trading discipline](/learn/trading-psychology-discipline/). If you are researching evaluations, use the [prop-firm rule guides](/prop-ready/) separately.

All games and courses are free, with no signup. Progress stays in this browser; chart Settings and Arcade have separate backup controls. FundedReady is educational, not a prop firm or a funded account.
