Why this exists
Most people who start trading crypto lose money. Not because they are unintelligent, but because they learn in the worst possible order: they open an account, put money in, and try to pick up the rules while their own savings are on the line. Every mistake costs, and the costly mistakes come first.
This site flips that order. You read the material, you practise against real live prices with money that is not real, you write down what you decided and why, and only then do you consider whether to risk anything of your own. The mistakes still happen. They just cost nothing.
That is the whole idea. There is no signal group, no promise of returns, and nothing here that gets more valuable if you trade more often.
Who it is for
- Someone who has never owned any crypto and wants to start from the beginning.
- Someone who has traded a little, lost some, and suspects the problem is process rather than luck.
- Someone who can already read a chart but has never sized a position properly.
- Anyone who wants a written record of their decisions instead of a feeling about them.
Who it is not for
- Anyone looking for calls to copy. There are none here.
- Anyone who wants a number to buy at and a number to sell at.
- Anyone hoping to turn a small amount into a large amount quickly. That is not a strategy, it is a wish.
- Anyone who needs this month's profit to pay a bill. That guarantees bad decisions.
What is on the site
| The curriculum | 85 lessons across 10 modules, about 17 hours of reading. Each one opens with a plain explanation of what you are about to learn, defines the words it uses before it uses them, and ends with a short quiz. |
| Live markets | Real prices and real candlestick charts for 12 major markets, updating while you read. The prices come straight from Binance to your browser. |
| The simulator | A practice account with fake money and real prices. Orders are checked against the same rules a real exchange applies, and market orders suffer real slippage, so the habits you build transfer. |
| The tools | Calculators for position size, expectancy, profit and loss, liquidation and compounding. Each shows its formula, so you learn the arithmetic rather than outsourcing it. |
| The journal | A structured record of setup, thesis, outcome and R multiple, with win rate and expectancy computed for you. Over a few months this is the most valuable thing here. |
What we deliberately do not do
We never touch real money
There is no code in this site that can place an order with real funds. The simulator is a closed system: balances are rows in our own database. We hold no custody, take no deposits and route no orders.
We give no advice
Nothing on this site is financial, investment or tax advice, and nothing is a recommendation to buy or sell anything. We teach method, not positions.
We promise no returns
Nobody can promise a return in a market that regularly moves seven percent in a day. Anybody who does is selling you something.
We do not track you
No advertising pixels, no third-party analytics, no data sold to anyone. See the privacy page for the full list of what we store.
Where the numbers come from
We build nothing that pretends to be a price feed. Everything is sourced and labelled:
| Source | What it provides |
|---|---|
| Binance public API | Live prices, candlesticks, order book depth and funding rates. Fetched by your own browser, so the board keeps working even if our server is rate limited. |
| CoinGecko | Market capitalisation, rankings, circulating supply and coin logos. |
| alternative.me | The Fear and Greed index shown on the home page and the market board. |
All of it is indicative and may be delayed. This is not a trading venue, and no price shown here should be treated as executable.

Questions, corrections and bug reports all go to admin@mkpayz.com. If you find a factual error in a lesson, please say so. Trading material is full of confidently repeated nonsense, and we would rather be corrected than repeat it.
Start where you actually are
Module 1 assumes you have never owned any crypto. It is free, and it always will be.
