Practice. Diagnose. Improve.
TradeMind turns interview preparation into a measurable feedback loop. Use the free web simulators to learn the format, then move to the app for newly generated daily sets, deeper review, and an uninterrupted training record.
Diagnose the miss
Review score, accuracy, per-question timing, and exactly where points were lost — not just a final number.
Build a repeatable routine
A newly generated set each calendar day, Daily Goal, streaks, activity history, and readiness tracking.
iPhone + MacFree daily trainingPro removes the cap
Start with focused browser drills, then combine them under timed firm-style conditions. Firm simulators use a fixed set so attempts stay comparable; the app generates new training sets each day.
Mental Math
Build calculation speed, then pressure-test it against 80-in-8, Flow, Maven, and SIG-style clocks.
Core skill · daily drillSequences
Recognise arithmetic, geometric, alternating, and second-difference patterns before the clock wins.
Pattern recognitionProbability & EV
Turn dice, cards, conditional probability, and expected value into fast, reliable decisions.
Probability · EVRobot Games
Choose play or pass from the sign of EV — outcome noise does not change whether the decision was optimal.
