Start
Start in three steps
Pick a game
Start with today's Daily Challenge, or choose ICT Zone Hunter, Next Move or a practice mode. A short "How to play" shows on your first visit (the ? button opens it again).
Answer, then learn
Tap the right box or level, or use the buttons, before the clock runs out. The next candles play out, the chart marks the answer and a short lesson explains it.
The game modes
| Mode | What you do | Charts |
|---|---|---|
| Daily Challenge | The same five charts for every player today: one FVG, one order block, one sweep, one move and a bonus chart. One try a day; it counts for the Today and This week boards and your streak. | 5 |
| ICT Zone Hunter | Fair value gaps, order blocks and liquidity sweeps, mixed. | 10 |
| Next Move | Is price higher or lower 10 candles from now? Only charts with a clear move. | 10 |
| FVG practice | Find the fair value gap among four boxes. | 8 |
| Order block practice | Pick the order block of the marked structure break. | 8 |
| Sweep practice | Which high or low was swept, then reclaimed? | 8 |
What each question asks
Fair value gap (FVG)
Three candles in a row. A bullish FVG is the space between the first candle's high and the third candle's low, when that high stays below that low. A bearish FVG is the space between the first candle's low and the third candle's high, when the low stays above the high. The other boxes sit on candles that overlap, so they are not gaps. Fair value gaps explained
Order block (OB)
A yellow line marks where price broke structure (BOS) or shifted it (MSS). The bullish order block is the last down-close candle before the move up that broke the level; the bearish one is the last up-close candle before the move down. Order blocks explained
Liquidity sweep
Stops rest above old highs (buy-side liquidity) and below old lows (sell-side). A sweep is price trading beyond one of those levels and then closing back on the other side within a few candles. Pick the level that was swept. Liquidity explained
Next Move
Higher or lower than the last close (the dotted line) after 10 candles. Only charts where price moved at least one average candle range are used, so there is a real answer, but calling direction is hard even for professionals.

Where the charts and answers come from
The charts are real past candles from Binance's public market data (gold and silver contracts, Bitcoin, Ethereum and Solana) on 15-minute, 1-hour and 4-hour charts. The answers come from the ICC Charts rulebook detectors, the same ones that draw the ICT layers live in the ICC Charts terminal.
Frequently asked questions
Is the Chart Challenge free?
Yes. The game is free and stays free. You only need a free ICC Charts account. There is no deposit, no entry fee and no real money in the game.
Why do I need an account?
Your scores, level, streak and Daily results are saved to your ICC Charts account, so they follow you on every phone and computer, and only players with an account can be on the leaderboard. Sign up with email, Google or Facebook; the same account opens the ICC Charts terminal and apps.
Are these real charts?
Yes. Every chart is real past price data of gold, silver, Bitcoin, Ethereum or Solana on the 15-minute, 1-hour or 4-hour timeframe. The market and the date are shown after you answer.
Who decides the right answer?
The same rule-based detectors that draw the ICT layers in ICC Charts: a fair value gap, an order block or a sweep is only an answer when it follows the written rules exactly.
How are the weekly winners chosen?
The This week board adds up each player's Daily Challenge points from Monday to Sunday (UTC). The top players of the week win free ICC Charts plan days, as shown on the leaderboard. Prizes are never money.
Can I play the Daily Challenge again?
No. The Daily is the same five charts for everyone and counts once per day. Play ICT Zone Hunter or the practice modes as often as you like.
Does the game work on my phone?
Yes. It runs in the browser on Android, iPhone and computers, and inside the ICC Charts apps. Tap a box or a level on the chart, or use the answer buttons.
Is this gambling or trading advice?
No. Nothing is bought or sold, you never pay to play, and prizes are only free plan days. It is an educational game on past charts. Results in the game say nothing about real trading results.
Ready to play?
