Practice Stock Trading in Our Real-Time Stock Market Simulator
Build Your Confidence Investing in Stocks, Options, ETFs & Crypto
This realistic stock trading simulator was designed
for serious learners ready to build trading skills risk-free.
Lost in Complex Platforms & Basic Simulators? There’s a Better Way.
Most trading simulators aren’t built for beginners. Instead of guiding you step by step, they leave you overwhelmed and discouraged. Here’s what you’ve probably already experienced:
- Simulations built for seasoned traders—loaded with confusing jargon.
- Complicated charts with no clear instructions on how to begin.
- Brokerage platforms that push you toward opening a live account before you’re ready.
- Free simulators that are too basic, with limited assets and no real-world feel.
What you really need is a safe, risk-free sandbox where you can practice, build confidence, and prepare for long-term financial security—without the pressure.
You don’t need to jump into the markets blindly. With the right tools, you can learn, practice, and build your skills in a safe, risk-free environment—so when it’s time to invest for real, you’ll feel prepared and in control.
Here’s how Stocktrak’s powerful trading simulator can help you:
- Trade in real time with US stocks, ETFs, options, and cryptocurrencies.
- Access global markets including Toronto, London, Tokyo, and more.
- Build a diversified portfolio and practice advanced strategies step by step.
- Experiment without fear — mistakes here are lessons, not costly losses.
- Analyze your performance to strengthen your financial foundation.
- Experience real-world conditions where global events and market shifts shape your strategies.
For 30+ Years, We’ve Helped Investors Bridge Theory & Practice
We understand the frustration of wanting to invest wisely but being met with overly complicated platforms and facing the substantial risk of the stock market.
That’s why StockTrak was created – to provide investors like you with the environment and education you need before risking your hard-earned savings on potentially costly mistakes.
Our mission is to bridge the gap between theoretical knowledge and practical application in finance.
For over 30 years, StockTrak has offered more than a simple stock market game.
It’s a comprehensive learning platform built on decades of experience providing realistic portfolio management tools to leading institutions and savvy individuals alike.
We’ve seen first-hand the power of active learning through practice trading.
This hands-on practice, combined with in-depth performance analytics and a realistic trading platform, helps you develop proven strategies, risk management techniques, and trading skills.
These are skills you can confidently take with you, wherever you choose to invest your money for real.
The Only Platform That Prepares Serious Beginners for Real Investing
Unlike other simulators that push you towards risky, hyper-specialized trading, StockTrak offers something fundamentally different: Unmatched Breadth and Realism in a Single, Integrated Platform.
Free tools rarely provide the realistic trading mechanics that matter, like commissions or the ability to practice diverse asset classes like global stocks, bonds, mutual funds, options spreads, futures, forex, and even cryptocurrency all in one place. They don’t prepare you for the nuances of real-world trading across different exchanges and asset types.
StockTrak is the ultimate sandbox and stock market simulator for serious beginners precisely because it does provide this comprehensive, realistic environment for paper trading.
You get to build and manage a portfolio that reflects the complexity of the stock market, gaining confidence in handling scenarios you’ll actually face.
