How To Get Started
Click the button above to open the simulator in a new tab. If it’s your first visit, you’ll be set up with the starting balance automatically. Try placing a small order on a company you’ve heard of, then come back to this course and keep learning. The best students treat the simulator as a lab, try something here, then study why it worked or didn’t.
Try a lesson example
Open the linked tool or source. Open the $1,000,000 virtual simulator. As a hypothetical exercise, look up AAPL, plan a 10-share order, and record the quoted price and order type before any submission. No real-money trade is needed.
Key takeaways
- Use simulated trades to practice a process and record your reasoning.
- Identify the simulator’s rules and assumptions before interpreting its results.
- Practice performance does not establish future real-money results.
Check your understanding
Answer each question, then open the explanation.
1. What should you write down before a practice trade?
Show answer and why
Answer: The purpose, the assumption being tested and the result you will observe.
Why: A written plan lets you learn from the exercise rather than judge it only by its final balance.
2. Why inspect the simulator’s rules before comparing practice results?
Show answer and why
Answer: Its prices, execution and costs may be modeled differently from a real account.
Why: A result depends on the simulation’s rules as well as your decisions.
3. Does a profitable simulated trade prove that the same trade will be profitable with real money?
Show answer and why
Answer: No.
Why: Market conditions, execution and costs can differ, and one practice outcome does not establish future performance.
