Who we are
Real World Markets is a classroom with a window on the tape
CTC built this so you can look at a tape without anyone selling you a coin in the next sentence. Stocks, crypto, how markets work, how people get hurt. Delayed last. You cannot buy a share or a coin here. We are not a broker, not a wallet, and not a shop. Naming a company is a lesson, not a partnership.
What you can do here
- Learn
- Academy paths, a quiz, Professor Moon. Words first.
- Look up
- Delayed last on the world tape. Find a share or a coin. DYOR if you want the five questions.
- Practice
- A $10,000 paper desk, World Circuit, Tape Run. Fake cash. You cannot send it.
Why I built this
I was tired of classrooms that were shops in a costume. You should be able to learn the words, look at delayed last, and practice with fake cash — before you ever talk to a licensed firm. Keep looking free. Never take an order. Never sell a tip. That is the whole job. The core classroom stays free. Buying is not a feature we will add.
Our name
Real World Markets™ is our house mark. The lessons, the software, and World Circuit are original work — copyright sits on those the moment they are written. The name itself is a trademark claim, marked ™. It is not a registered USPTO mark, so we do not use ®. Marks & copyright.
What we do
A world tape for indices, stocks, crypto, and a few FX prints, plus teaching rows for options and NFTs — including a 3D globe of floors colored from delayed last. DYOR is the research desk, after you sign in: type a public share or coin, answer five questions, compare wallet kinds. Short academy paths, then a quiz on this device. Sign in for a $10,000 paper desk that fills at last, World Circuit, and Tape Run. Professor Moon (Tape AI) explains a name. He will not tell you what to buy. News headlines open on the publisher’s site. We do not reprint full articles. Sign-in is optional for lessons and Top 10. Sign in to earn classroom points, post on the floor, plant a quote, sit with a class, keep this desk, and use DYOR, Desk, and Circuit. Create an account and extra pages open for seven days — Floor, Lab, Compare, Top 150–1000, and crew — then the week closes. Optional Desk Pass is classroom software to keep those extras with classroom points — not a live trading account. Learn and Top 10 stay free. Tape AI opens for seven days when you spend 100 classroom points, then it closes. Optional gifts, when offered, keep the classroom running. They buy no share and no coin.
What this classroom has
Every room, and what it does
Rooms grouped by job.
Look
Delayed last. A number to look at, not a ticket.
- MarketsThe world tape.Delayed last on indices, stocks, coins, and a few FX prints. Spin the globe, tap a country, read that floor’s names on the bar. Color is up or down — not a reason to buy.
- FavoritesA look-list on this device.Star a name, type how many you already hold elsewhere, see last. We do not buy it. We do not hold it. Not a portfolio.
- StocksShares of companies.Look at delayed last. A share is a slice. Top 10 by market cap is free. Wider ranked lists sit on Desk Pass. You cannot buy one here.
- CryptoCoins and tokens.Look at delayed last, 24 hours. Top 10 by market cap is free. Wider ranked lists sit on Desk Pass. We never hold a wallet and we never ask for a seed.
- The globeA teaching Earth of this classroom’s floors.Drag to turn it. Tap a country. Green mountains are delayed last up. Red mountains are down. Taller is a bigger move, not a buy light. That floor’s delayed last sits on the tape bar — taught names, not every listing on earth. Crypto and FX have no country. Not a political map. Not a live exchange.
- NewsThe wire.Headlines only. Tap a story to open it on the publisher’s site. We do not reprint full articles. A headline is not a paper-buy.
- DYORDo your own research.Sign in, then look up any public share or coin — one name, or two. Five questions. Wallet kinds — shop, hot, cold, paper backup, several keys — compared without a checkout. A pause is allowed. Walking away counts. Lessons stay free without an account. We help you look. We will not buy it. Look. Do not buy.
- Tape todayA classroom snapshot.Loudest, busiest, stretch — delayed last when the feed is up. Not a signal.
- CompareTwo delayed lasts on one chart.A meeting of prints. Not a pair trade we will place.
- My areaThis device’s clock, not a GPS pin.Shows the local floor while that session is open. Delayed last. Look. Do not buy.
- OptionsTeaching contracts.Calls and puts on a paper chain. Premiums here are not a live book. A call is a deadline, not a share. We do not sell options.
- NFTsTeaching pictures on a chain.Invented floors in ETH. A floor is the cheapest ask, not a value. We do not mint.
Learn
Words, then a check. We only teach.
- LearnThe academy.Pick a category. Gold, silver, and metals next to money sit on their own shelf. Economics — scarcity, prices, how a country counts — sits on its own shelf. Mark a lesson read to open the next. New lessons keep your old marks. Pass the quiz toward Tape AI. A quiz is a check, not a license. Safety sits near the top so a pitch feels boring the second time.
- Professor MoonThe classroom professor. Tape AI™.Unpacks a word — last, bid, share, coin, halt. Reads the page you are on. Opens for seven days when you spend 100 classroom points, then it closes. He will not tell you what to buy.
Practice
Fake cash, a board game, and a tape video game. You cannot send it.
- DeskA $10,000 paper book on this device.Sign in. Chart first. Pick a name, pick $100 or $250, paper-buy, watch last move, paper-sell. Fake cash. Fills at last with no spread. Name the desk so the book feels like yours. The feeling can be real. The dollars are not. You cannot send it. Lessons stay free without an account.
- World CircuitAn original teaching board game.Sign in, then play the teaching game first. Then pick a difficulty and a length. One public week scores paper books. Listings are floors. Rent is a teaching fee. Side quests teach a market trap. Paper only — not Monopoly®, not gambling, not a live market. Lessons stay free without an account.
- Tape RunA paper video game on the delayed tape.Sign in, then jump scams. Duck a pitch. Collect last and paper. LOOK is one bounce. Score is metres and paper ticks, not money. Not gambling. Not a live market. Lessons stay free without an account.
- LabClassroom tools.A screener, a calendar, alerts, calculators, a glossary, and a teaching options chain. Math on delayed last. Not a live desk. Desk Pass extra.
People
Optional. Public notes, a quote tree, a gift, a pass.
- FloorAn optional public room.Sign in, pick a handle, tag a ticker, leave a note. The clerk stops tips, secrets, and pitches. Notes are not a ticket. Posts are public.
- Class periodA teacher code.A high-school or community-college class sits together on one Circuit week. Paper scores. Not a tip board. Not a live book.
- The Favorite Quote TreeA seed that grows into a redwood.Plant a line you love. The grove keeper reads it — it has to be a quote, and it has to keep house rules. One comment is 1 / 1,000,000 of a finished tree. One signed-in person, one line a day. A line is words — not last, not a tip, not a ticket.
- CrewSeven jobs, no extra chatter.Moon unpacks. The clerk keeps the floor. The grove keeper reads every planted quote. The desk hand walks paper cash. The steward keeps the written room open. The wire holds headlines. The usher explains the classroom.
- Sign inA classroom handle, not a bank.Lessons, Top 10 lists, delayed last, and news stay free without an account. One first look at DYOR, the paper desk, World Circuit, and Tape Run — then sign in to keep them. Earn points, plant a quote, post on the floor, sit with a class, or keep this desk. Create an account and extra pages open for seven days — Floor, Lab, Compare, Top 150–1000, and crew. Then the week closes. We do not sell stocks, coins, or advice.
- Desk PassOptional classroom software.Opens Circuit extras, Lab, compare, ranked top 150–1000 lists, and crew bots. Create an account and those extra pages open for seven days, then the week closes. Learn stays free forever. Top 10 stays free. Keep extras with 200 classroom points. Not a live trading account. Points stay a free path.
- GiftA thank-you gift, if you want. Not the help desk.A gift keeps the lights on. It buys no share, no coin, no pass. Help sits in Settings. Never send a seed or a password.

Why last looks like a real print
When the line is up, last on listed names is a delayed public market print so lessons point at a number you might actually see on a licensed terminal. It can be late, wrong, or missing. If the feed is quiet, the board keeps a teaching path so the classroom does not go blank. Options premiums and NFT floors stay teaching numbers. Paper P/L is hypothetical. We are not a data vendor and we do not sell a quote. Nothing here is a reason to place a live order.
What this is not
Not a seller. Not a broker, not an exchange, not a wallet, and not tax, legal, or investment advice. Not registered with the U.S. SEC, FINRA, CFTC, or NFA; not a CSA or CIRO registrant in Canada; not authorized by Mexico’s CNBV. We do not sell securities, digital assets, or tips. Desk Pass is not a course that turns you into a professional and not a live desk. Nothing here is an offer to buy or sell a security or a commodity. Passing a quiz does not make you a professional. Paper fills happen at last with no spread. A live broker usually adds a spread and fees this classroom does not model.
Names on the board
Apple, the S&P 500, Bitcoin, the Nikkei, and the rest are teaching examples. We are not those companies or index providers, and they have not endorsed this classroom. Tickers and index names are used the way a textbook uses them: so you can recognize the real thing later.
Other people’s marks
We do not copy official logos. Each name on the board is a colored letter disc we drew. Apple, Nasdaq, S&P 500, Bitcoin, and the rest stay with their owners. NFT rows are invented teaching floors, not a live collection. Delayed last is a public print we do not own. If you believe we copied your work, write [email protected] with [RWM-DMCA]. The full notice is on Marks & copyright.
The floor
Talking about the tape is optional and public. Sign in with Google, X, or email to post, follow writers, and watch ticker rooms. Notes are opinions about practice data — not tips. You can delete your own. The board, lessons, and paper desk still work with no account.
Professor Moon (Tape AI)
Professor Moon is the classroom professor. Tape AI is the product name. Both names are one educational language model. Ask how a quote, an order, a coin, or a lesson works. He is not a broker, not an adviser, and not a signal service. The model can be wrong. He is told to refuse buy/sell recommendations and to treat this tape as practice. A passed quiz pays +8, same as a Circuit win. Paper fills pay less on purpose. Classroom points open Tape AI for seven days on this device, then it closes — not forever. It takes 100 points. Desk Pass extras take 200 points, or skip points with $5 a month when Stripe is connected — Desk Pass extras and Professor Moon together. Software only. Stripe hosts the card. Points stay a free path. Desk Pass does not keep Tape AI open. The transcript stays on this device unless you wipe it.
The crew
Professor Moon teaches. The clerk keeps the floor inside house rules. The grove keeper reads every planted quote — it has to be a line you love, not last and not a tip. The desk hand explains paper cash and fills. The steward keeps the written room open if Moon is resting. The wire holds headlines. The usher explains welcome, points, and Desk Pass. They are software with jobs. None of them is a broker or a seller.
A human
The crew is software. If you need a person — a bug, a floor problem the clerk missed, or a question a model should not answer — write [email protected]. We will not sell you a coin or a tip. Classroom help only. Do not send seed phrases, passwords, or bank details.
The house
CTC is the founder and creator. The lessons, the tape, World Circuit, and this classroom are his work.
Dillon Hollander made the first gift to keep the lights on. He is not a co-founder and not a creator of the software. A gift is a thank-you. It buys no share of Real World Markets™.
Jensen Moore was the first tester. That name is a thank-you. It is not a job on the tape, not a co-founder seat, and not a share of the classroom.
Your progress
Lessons, paper trades, alerts, and Professor chats stay on this device, scoped to the signed-in account when you have one. Nobody else can open your paper coins or notices. Clearing site data — or using Wipe on the privacy page — clears the desk. Sign-in is optional. It does not open a brokerage.
Security
We do not ask for bank logins, seed phrases, or card numbers. Do not send them. Floor notes are public. On a shared computer, lock the desk before you walk away.
Official as a school
We are a classroom, not a broker. “Official as a school” means we tell the truth about what we are — not that a government licensed us as a school. Terms, privacy, and marks already live here. ™ is the claim we use. ® waits on a live registration. Home Screen is the app a learner can have today. We will not fake a store badge.
The long form
If you want the statutes and the disclaimers in full, they live next door. The privacy policy is how the classroom actually stores data. The terms are the risk language, the “not a broker” language, and the hypothetical-performance warning. North American rules name the SEC, FINRA, CFTC, CSA/CIRO, and CNBV.
