Chart Challenge: a free game to practise ICT concepts on real charts

Reading about a fair value gap takes five minutes. Spotting one quickly on a busy chart, again and again, takes practice. That is why we built ICC Chart Challenge: a free game where every question is a real chart and every answer comes with a short lesson. You can play it here.

How a round works

You see a real past chart of gold, silver, Bitcoin, Ethereum or Solana. The market and the date stay hidden until you answer, so you read price, not the news. A question asks for one thing, for example "Which box is a bullish fair value gap?", with four options marked A to D. Tap the box on the chart or press the button before the clock runs out.

Then the important part happens: the next candles play out, the right answer turns green and the chart marks it the way a teacher would. For a fair value gap you see candle 1 and candle 3 with their prices; for an order block the candle itself; for a sweep the wick that took the stops and the close back. A short lesson explains why.

What you practise

Fair value gaps: three candles where the first candle's high stays below the third candle's low (or the other way round for a bearish gap).
Order blocks: the last opposite candle before the move that broke structure. The break is marked on the chart, so you learn to connect the block with the BOS or MSS.
Liquidity sweeps: which old high or low was run and then reclaimed. This builds the eye for the buy-side and sell-side liquidity that ICT setups start from.
Next move: higher or lower ten candles later, on charts with a clear move. It is the hardest mode, and a useful reminder of why traders wait for a level instead of guessing.

The right answers are not picked by hand. They come from the same rule-based detectors that draw the ICT layers live in the ICC Charts terminal, so the game teaches the exact definitions the terminal uses.

Daily Challenge, streaks and the leaderboard

Every day there is a Daily Challenge: the same five charts for every player, one try each. Your score goes on the Today board, your Daily points add up on the This week board, and finishing it on days in a row grows your streak. The top players of the week win free ICC Charts plan days. There is no entry fee and no real money, ever.

Outside the Daily you can play as much as you like: ICT Zone Hunter mixes all three concepts, and there are practice modes for each one. Points also give XP, and levels take you from Rookie to Market maker.

How to start

Open the game and create a free ICC Charts account with email, Google or Facebook. It is the same account as the terminal and the apps, so your progress follows you on every device. The game guide explains every mode, the points and the leaderboard in detail.

Practice is not trading

A game on past charts is a safe place to train your eyes. It does not show that a setup will work tomorrow, and real trading carries a high risk of losing money. Use the game to learn the patterns, then study them on live charts with a plan and small risk.

Try it on a live chart

Open ICC Charts in your browser, free, with the ICT and VSA layers and the model scanner. Or practise on past charts in the free Chart Challenge game.
