What is a Stock Market Simulator?
Our stock market simulator is a game that lets traders practice trading stocks without risking real money. Our simulator uses a concept known as paper trading, which allows traders to enter and exit stock trades in a simulated environment that uses real stock market data.
Traders that are new, or experienced, benefit from practice. Similar to a professional sport, the pros still need to practice to keep their skills sharp. The Stocksift simulator helps traders level up their stock trading skills through paper trading.
Once a trader is consistently profitable for at least 6 months using a paper trading practice simulator, then they are more likely to be a successful trader in the real stock market.
Risk-Free Simulated Stock Trading
Practice trading stocks in our risk-free stock market simulator game. Our simulator lets traders place a variety of order types, including: market order (buy/sell), limit order (buy/sell), take profit order, stop order, and trailing stop order. Use our order types, such as stop orders, to practice money management and risk management.
All Stocksift users get a free $50,000 practice trading account to use in our simulator. Place trades and have them fulfilled daily, after the real stock market closes, since our simulator is powered by real stock price data. If your practice account loses too much value, feel free to reset your simulator account balance to start over.
A stock market simulator that lets traders practice trading stocks for free is a vital tool that any serious trader needs. Enjoy the process and dare to be a top trader. Practice makes perfect, after all.
