Live ADA market data, simulated capital, and the fees, spread and price impact a real order would pay — the honest way into Cardano before a wallet is involved.
Cardano is a proof-of-stake chain developed through a research-led, peer-reviewed process, with a staking model that does not lock funds and a fixed maximum supply of 45 billion ADA.
ADA is liquid on major venues but moves largely as a beta expression of broad altcoin sentiment rather than on protocol-specific flow. Depth is good enough for retail size and thin enough that a large market order still shows visible impact.
Use ADA to practise reading depth: size an order at 0.5% of the visible book and at 5%, and compare the modelled fills side by side.
DexLadder does not fill at the mid price. An order is charged the spread, the venue fee and the price impact your own size causes — on pool trades that impact is computed from the constant-product and concentrated-liquidity maths rather than approximated by a flat percentage. That is the difference between a paper result you can trust and one that quietly flatters you. The full model is written up in the methodology.
Work out the position from your stop distance rather than your balance — the position size calculator does it in one step — and if you are using leverage, check the liquidation distance against the ordinary daily range of ADA before choosing a multiplier.
Yes. DexLadder needs no signup, no email and no wallet connection — the paper balance and trade history stay in your own browser.
Yes. Prices come from live market feeds; only the money is simulated.
Yes — venue fees, the spread and the price impact your order size causes. An environment that skips those overstates every strategy you test.
