Bulls push up. Bears swipe down.
That's literally where the names come from: a bull thrusts its horns up when prices rise, a bear swipes its claws down when they fall. Wicksy keeps you on track between the two.
Bullio
The rising-market optimist
Horns up, candles up. Main-character energy, questionable risk management.
Beary
Your risk-management guardian
Claws down, candles down. Had his stop loss set before Bullio finished celebrating.
Wicksy
Your chart guide
Chill, sharp, always online. Walks you through every level and lights up when a concept clicks.
Your FOMO isn't a strategy. 93% of individual traders in futures and options (F&O) in India lost money between FY22 and FY24, according to the market regulator SEBI. CandleLingo teaches the part they skipped: protecting your money comes first.
One level. Five minutes.
Can you spot the hammer?
A hammer is a candle with a tiny body and a long wick underneath. It shows sellers pushed the price down, then buyers pushed it back up. Tap the one you think it is.
Which one is the hammer?
Pick a candle. No pressure, it's practice!
Your progress only goes up.
Ten worlds, each with its own boss, laid out like a rising chart. Tap a world to see what's inside.
The Basics
Money basics
Saving vs investing, inflation, compounding, risk vs return.
Boss: Build a simple goal plan.
Built to make you smart with money, not reckless.
Most people who rush into trading lose money. CandleLingo teaches the habits that protect you first, then the patterns.
Real charts, virtual money
Twenty years of real market history with the names hidden, so you learn the idea instead of memorising the chart.
No magic patterns
Every pattern comes with an example of it failing. Charts give clues, not guarantees.
India and global
The ideas work everywhere. Turn on India notes for Nifty and rupee examples, or keep it global.
Works offline
Lessons and charts live on your phone, so the bus ride with no signal still counts.
Built safe, for every age.
Parents, this one's for you: a money-skills app with no way to lose real money.
- No real money, deposits or trading accounts
- No stock tips or get-rich promises
- No chat with strangers
- Under-16s join through a parent
Good questions.
Is CandleLingo free?
World 01 is free, plus a taster level from Candle District. After that you get a 7-day free trial of everything, then a subscription unlocks the rest. We'll share pricing at launch.
Can I lose real money?
No. CandleLingo is a simulator. There are no real trades, no deposits and no broker accounts.
Will it tell me what to buy?
No. We teach how charts work and how to manage risk. We never recommend stocks, and nothing in the app is investment advice.
Do I need to know anything first?
Nothing at all. World 1 starts with what a share actually is. If you already know a bit, the boss levels will still test you.
I'm under 16. Can I join?
Yes, with a parent. Ask a parent or guardian to sign up with their email and we'll let them know when CandleLingo launches.
When can I play?
CandleLingo is coming to Android first, with iPhone planned later. Join the waitlist and we'll email you the day it's live.
Your future self says thanks.
