About Investopedia: Stock Simulator
Investopedia Stock Simulator is an all-in-one finance and investing application designed to help you explore financial markets, learn investing concepts, follow market information, and practice trading with virtual money—without risking real money.
Whether you are completely new to investing or already familiar with the stock market, the app provides a convenient place to explore stocks, markets, financial news, educational resources, calculators, watchlists, and paper-trading tools.
### Explore Financial Markets
Stay informed about financial markets through market dashboards covering stocks, ETFs, major market indices, cryptocurrencies, foreign exchange, and commodities. Explore individual assets and view available pricing information, market movements, historical charts, statistics, and other useful information.
The Markets section is designed to make important market information easy to understand at a glance, with organized categories, market movers, gainers and losers, and detailed asset pages.
### Track Stocks and Assets
Search for stocks and other financial assets and explore their available market information. Individual asset pages provide an organized view of prices, percentage changes, historical performance, charts, key statistics, company information, and related news where available.
Create a personal watchlist to keep track of the assets that interest you most. Watchlist information is stored locally on your device, so no account or login is required.
### Practice Trading With Virtual Money
The Stock Simulator lets you practice buying and selling assets using virtual money rather than real funds.
Start with a virtual portfolio and experiment with different trading strategies without putting your actual money at risk. Track your holdings, portfolio value, available cash, gains and losses, orders, and transaction history.
The simulator is designed strictly for educational and practice purposes. It does not connect to a brokerage account, execute real trades, or handle real money.
### Build and Monitor Your Portfolio
Keep track of your simulated investments through a dedicated portfolio dashboard. Review your holdings, allocation, performance, gains and losses, available cash, and transaction history.
