Our stock market simulator performs like a real brokerage account but using virtual money. You can practice trading real stocks, ETFs, and mutual funds using real-time prices and get the practice you need before trading in real life with your real money! If you are brand new to the stock market and want more help, you will also get access to our Introduction to the Stock Market Lessons to help you get started the right way.
Create your own private competition for your class or club. Set the contest dates that work best for your class schedule (have your students trade for one week, one month, one year--whatever works best for you!), choose the initial cash balance, and set other contest rules like commission rates. To get your class started with our free stock market game, just register now and then follow the links to create your own contest.
