I’m building a trading simulator focused specifically on SMC/ICT concepts instead of generic paper trading.
The idea is to practice things like:
- Liquidity sweeps
- MSS/BOS
- FVGs
- Order blocks
- Balanced Price Ranges
- Killzones
- Session-based setups
- Replay trading with realistic price movement
Instead of just placing random buy/sell trades, the simulator would train pattern recognition and execution based on ICT-style models.
Some features I’m thinking about:
- Candle replay mode
- Custom scenarios/setups
- Trade journaling + statistics
- Difficulty levels
- Instant feedback on entries
- Backtesting-style learning
- Markup/drawing tools
I’m trying to figure out if traders would genuinely use something like this consistently, or if most people would still prefer TradingView replay + manual journaling.
What would make an app like this actually valuable to you?
And what features would instantly make you ignore it?
