FAQ
How CandleOps works, how progression behaves, and what the missions are built from.
How CandleOps Works
CandleOps turns historical market data into fast, high-pressure replay missions. The game is built to feel like a prop-firm training floor rather than a charting tool.
Example: 10k to 20k unlock
Run a 10k 2-Step and a 10k 1-Step account to completion, then reach 1,000 dollars in total payouts. Once all three conditions are met, the 20k bay unlocks.
Example: Short mission
You spot weakness on a 4h chart, deploy short with 1.0% risk, 1.5 ATR stop, and 3.0 ATR target. If price tags the target first, the account balance increases based on the calculated reward amount.
Example: Instant funded account
An Instant account starts funded immediately. There is no pass objective. The account remains live until the 10% breach line is hit, and payouts become available once the account is more than 5% in profit.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is CandleOps?
CandleOps is a tactical trading replay game. You study a chart with only historical candles visible, choose a direction and risk plan, and then watch the future candles reveal one by one.
Does CandleOps use real market data?
Yes. Operation Stockfall uses precomputed levels built from real historical stock data. The visible setup and the hidden future are prepared in advance so each mission can load quickly and resolve consistently.
How does a mission work?
A mission starts with 250 visible candles. You choose Deploy Long, Deploy Short, or Abort Mission. If you deploy, the app reveals the future candles until your stop or target is hit, or the precomputed mission resolves.
How is risk handled?
You can size risk between 0.1% and 2% of the selected account balance. Stop loss and take profit are placed in ATR units, and if both stop and target are touched inside the same candle, the stop is prioritized.
What are the account types?
Each account size supports three variants: 2-Step, 1-Step, and Instant. 2-Step and 1-Step are challenge variants used for progression. Instant acts like a funded account from the start.
How do I unlock the next account size?
To unlock the next size, you must clear the 2-Step variant and the 1-Step variant on the current size, and also reach the required payout milestone shown in the unlock quest panel.
Important Notes
CandleOps is a game and educational simulator. It is not a broker, not a prop firm, and not financial advice.
