Candlelit Trading: crypto market research and simulated trading software
Candlelit Trading is a small, independent software project that builds research and trading software for digital-asset markets. Its first product, Wick, is a web application for researching cryptocurrency markets and practising trading against prop-firm-style rules.
Wick combines live market data, quantitative setup detection, AI-assisted research, risk-based position sizing and simulated execution in one terminal. Quantitative signals identify a setup and AI-assisted research examines what may be driving it. Position sizing is calculated from a fixed percentage of equity, and the decision to act remains with the trader. Execution is simulated only: Wick holds no exchange accounts or API keys and places no real orders.
Wick includes:
- Live candlestick charts across six timeframes
- A market scan every fifteen minutes, with six setup playbooks
- AI-assisted research, run on request
- Simulated accounts with a daily loss limit, maximum drawdown and profit target
Candlelit is not a brokerage, exchange, fund or proprietary trading firm, and it does not manage money, hold client assets or provide financial advice. Wick is currently private, with access available by request.
