1. General Provisions
Next Candle (the "Platform", nextcandle.academy and its mobile apps) is software that serves as a trading education, risk management and discipline tool. All trades on the Platform take place in a virtual account; no real money is used. Next Candle does not offer live trading, does not place orders on users' exchange accounts, and does not hold or transfer money or crypto assets. By accessing and/or using the Platform, you agree to the following terms.
The Platform is operated by PİH Tasarım Mühendislik ve Üretim Danışmanlığı Ticaret Limited Şirketi ("Next Candle" or the "Company"), a limited liability company registered in Türkiye. Company details are set out in Section 12.
2. Service Description
Using market data, technical indicators and statistical models, the Platform provides educational analyses of cryptocurrency markets, virtual-account trading practice, and discipline and risk management tools. No content on the Platform constitutes investment advice, investment consulting or a buy/sell recommendation. Next Candle does not carry out investment advisory or portfolio management activities under Turkish Capital Markets Law No. 6362.
3. User Responsibility
- You must be over 18 years old to use the Platform. You declare this during registration; if the declaration is found to be untrue, the account will be closed.
- You are solely responsible for positions you open in the virtual account based on the Platform's analyses and for all decisions you make outside the Platform.
- It is your responsibility to set your risk management (stop-loss, take-profit, position size, leverage) carefully.
- The Platform cannot be held liable for losses arising from trades you make outside the Platform.
- You are responsible for keeping your account details and password secure.
4. Intellectual Property
All content, software, algorithms, designs and trademarks on the Platform belong to Next Candle. Unauthorized copying, distribution or reverse engineering is prohibited.
5. NCP Credits and Payment
- Some Platform features run on NCP Credits. NCP Credits are an in-platform usage credit; they are non-transferable, cannot be converted to money and are not a cryptocurrency.
- NCP Credits cannot be purchased. They are earned only through welcome and tour bonuses, daily tasks, discipline rewards, competition prizes and invitations.
- The Platform currently takes no payments; there is no subscription or recurring billing.
- Unused NCP stays in your balance and no automatic charges are made.
- XP and Level are indicators of your learning and discipline progress on the Platform. They are earned automatically under Platform rules only; they have no monetary value, cannot be bought, sold or transferred, and carry no promise of any right or return. Level reflects effort on the Platform, not trading skill or profitability. Earning rules may change with notice; XP and NCP obtained through abuse or error may be voided.
6. Next AI and Model Analyses
The Next AI chat assistant and the model analyses on the Platform are generated automatically and may contain incorrect, incomplete or outdated information. These outputs are for educational and informational purposes, are not investment advice and should not be the sole basis of any decision. How Next AI processes your data is explained in the Privacy Policy.
7. Competitions
- Competitions are organized by Next Candle; participation is free and only virtual-account trades count. The current rules are published on the competition page.
- Prizes are awarded only as NCP Credits; no money, crypto assets or other monetary prizes are given. There is no lottery or element of chance.
- Apple Inc. and Google LLC are not sponsors of the competitions and are not involved with them in any way.
- Users who break the rules, use multiple accounts or enter the rankings by fraudulent means may be disqualified.
8. User Content and Acceptable Use
You are responsible for the content you enter in fields such as your username, display name, profile and Trading Journal. Content that is insulting, hateful, harassing, obscene, impersonates others, is spam, contains investment advice or promises of profit, or is otherwise unlawful is prohibited. We reserve the right to remove such content, change the username and suspend the account concerned. You can report objectionable content or users to nextcandle@upigai.com; reports are reviewed.
9. Service Limitations
