What Abu Terminal Is
Abu Terminal is a free, educational behavioral-trading simulator. Instead of explaining discipline, process, and decision-making in the abstract, it puts you inside real moments from market history — crashes, recoveries, earnings shocks, rate decisions, and bubbles — and asks you to decide under time pressure. The result of each decision plays out against the prices that actually followed, and a debrief grades the behavior behind the choice, not just the outcome. No real money is involved and no positions are opened in any market; everything is simulated.
How It Works
The core mode, Speed Run, compresses decades of recorded market events into a sequence of timed decision points. At each event you see the context, choose an action — hold, buy, sell, hedge, short, or ignore — and watch a simulation portfolio respond to the real historical prices. Over a single session you accumulate dozens of decision-and-feedback loops, the kind that normally take months to gather in live markets. Afterward, a behavioral debrief surfaces one specific pattern to work on: panic-selling into volatility, overtrading in quiet stretches, holding too long, or exiting too early. The aim is not to "win" a run by reverse-engineering history — it is to make your own decision habits visible so you can practice changing them.
The Learn Library
Alongside the simulator, Abu Terminal publishes an original library of long-form educational articles on the topics that actually drive trading outcomes: risk management, trading psychology, order flow, market structure, position sizing, decision journaling, process-versus-outcome thinking, drawdown discipline, and more. Each article is written from practitioner sources and a multi-book research synthesis, includes a hands-on simulator exercise, and is available in English, Hebrew, Arabic, Russian, German, and Spanish. You can browse the full set from the Learn hub, look up terms in the Glossary, or study setups in the Playbooks.
Who It Is For
Abu Terminal is built for anyone trying to understand how markets behave and how their own psychology shapes the decisions they make under uncertainty — newer participants who want a safe place to practice, and experienced ones who want a controlled environment to study their behavior without real consequences. It is a learning tool, not a brokerage, a signal service, or a predictor of future prices.
