Education for College

What is Stock-Trak?

Stock-Trak is the the web's most realistic and the most comprehensive stock market simulation for college business students worldwide. Students receive $500,000 in a virtual brokerage account and, for the duration of their class, simulate managing a portfolio of stocks, options, futures, bonds, mutual funds, currencies and other securities from over 20 global exchanges. Students gain first-hand, real world knowledge of how the markets work, how to place orders, practice theories and strategies learned in class, and compete with their classmates.

Each year over 1,100 professors and their 60,000+ students use StockTrak.com in their finance, business, economics, and/or accounting classes. In the U.S., over 80% of the top Business Schools use StockTrak, and professors from over 25 countries take advantage of its flexibility and global exchanges.

A recent survey showed that 87% of students using StockTrak.com report that StockTrak.com helped them better understand stocks, ETFs, mutual funds, options and futures trading. What's more, many students report that StockTrak.com is one of their more memorable college projects and believe that they learned things that they will remember for a lifetime.
