Trainers

Focused drills to sharpen the raw skills that win trading interviews: mental math, probability, estimation and psychometric aptitude.

Numerical

Fast, accurate arithmetic, the raw number sense every mental math test screens for.

Trading

Market-making desk skills, taught then drilled: fair value and pricing, hedging and the Greeks, two-sided quoting and arbitrage.

Probability and Statistics

Probability, expected value and statistical reasoning, the quantitative core of every trading interview.

Estimation

Order-of-magnitude reasoning: break an unknown into parts and defend a number.

Cognitive

Pattern recognition and mental flexibility under time pressure.

Task Switch

A timed task-switching drill that trains cognitive flexibility: each round a stimulus appears under one of two rules and you classify it against that rule.

Start

Response Conflict

Train response inhibition and selective attention with the Flanker and Simon tasks. Act on the relevant feature of each stimulus while ignoring a conflicting one.

Pincode Game

A timed working-memory drill: memorise a flashing digit sequence and type it back in order, reversed, or sorted.

Cube Folding

A 3D spatial-reasoning drill: identify which cube folds from a given 2D net. The mental-rotation task used in the Mako Trading online assessment.

Code Match

A perceptual-speed drill against a shrinking clock: spot the exact match among near-identical codes that hide swapped pairs and lookalike characters.

Grid Recall

A spatial working memory drill: a pattern of cells flashes on a grid, then you rebuild it from memory while red decoy cells try to enter your answer.

Start

Intercept

An anticipation drill: balls fall along four lines and your cannons fire with real travel time, so you must lead the target and meet it at a crossing point.

Start
New

Hold Fire

A response inhibition drill: press fast for the targets and hold fire for everything else, while the cue rule keeps changing and the response window tightens.

Start
New

Target Number

An arithmetic-flexibility drill: combine four numbers with the basic operations to reach a target, searching backward from the goal under a round clock.

Pump

The balloon risk game: pump for money, cash in before the pop, and learn the distribution. Measures risk appetite and how you adjust after losses.

Start
New

Skyline

A tower-rearrangement planning puzzle scored against a verified minimum move count, with no clock: pausing to plan before the first move is the skill.

Start
New

Mystery Figure

A hidden-figure deduction game with count-only feedback and no clock: only attempts score, and the results show your gap to information-efficient play.

Start
New

Sweet Spot

A multi-target timing game: rotating dials spawn and expire around you, and each scores only if you click while its needle sweeps the target arc.
