    Default Investopedia.com Simulator

    All-in-all great simulator. I might as well play this over the other nonsense that I waste my time with.

    Is anyone having any luck with this game though? Stocks are harder than they seemed at first. All-in-all great simulator.

    It is the same market. You can trade options, make picks, watch charts and trends and follow other people. The only thing you can't do is affect the market in any way. They start you off with $100,000 bucks

    Each trade costs $19 in brokers fees (fake money), so if you make 20 bucks on your holdings, you will only walk away with $1 - just to let you know

    You can't play penny stocks (stocks with a value under $5). I havn't found any other limitations yet.

    Investopedia also gives you free stock tips to help you out.

    Great i have been wanting to do something like this for a while, i always figured the stock market to be a great way to make money but maybe a few years on this first can help give me a good grounding to improve future investments or can show me my complete lack of competence and save me any wasted money...

    Let me now how you get along, i forgot this morning but will probably get it tonight now....

    $19 brokers fee? What a rip off. I get charged 4.50 per trade and get 10 free trades if i have over 2.5k in my account.
