A safe way to learn without risking money
Backtesting is part of our education. It shows you the potential of the strategy in perfect conditions. Our collection of 100,000 backtests across 11 strategies gives us a mathematical edge in the markets.
This is the first step before ever trading live. You do not need a demo or live account. First, master the strategy via backtesting before thinking about live trading. It does not require a demo or broker account, just TradingView and a spreadsheet.

"It's a brilliant concept: free trading education. Obviously they're a business so more support is available at a price. But The Trading Cafe does indeed deliver on its free promise."
