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?
