Learn to Trade
Faster, Smarter, Without Headaches, without Losing Money
With TradingSim

If you are new to trading and don’t really know where to start, TradingSim is the right place for you to learn stock market trading. Think about it, why go risk thousands of dollars in the market before you are ready? You can log in to the application and start practicing trading today. Get a feel for what works for you without the pressure of other gurus or pushy salespeople.

• Learn what works for you before risking a dime
• Trade-in a stress-free environment free of pushy salespeople and brokerage firms
• See if trading is right for you
• Learn the basics of what makes a successful trader
• Sick of complicated trading platforms; give us a try. We have learned over the years keeping things simple is the key to turning a profit.

If you are actively trading, TradingSim can take your skills to the next level.  Below are some of the top ways other experienced traders use our application:

• Review trades placed during the day with our market replay tool.  This allows our clients to dissect their trades to improve their trading systems.
• Before placing a trade in a particular stock, our clients will simulate trading the security to better understand how the stock moves.  This is proving extremely helpful for our clients that trade in the volatile biotechnology industry, as it helps them understand such things as how the stock trades in the morning or the average size of the bid and ask prices.
•  When in a slump our experienced traders will use TradingSim to trade their way out of a hole.   This provides our clients a safe environment to work through their slump, versus over-trading.

In today’s economy, we all feel a bit squeezed. As I look around the web I see a number of trading sites and stock market investment simulators that provide really cool features and free offers; however, the one thing they all have in common is overpriced monthly platform fees and data fees. On average the data fees alone will run anywhere from $35 – $49 per month. In addition, you will have to pay some sort of hefty platform fee which will range from $80 to well north of a $100 per month. When you add it all up you will end up spending close to $1,000 per year just to practice trading. If you don’t believe me check out Ninjatrader.

We at TradingSim provide you access to real historical tick data for over 11,000+ symbols and affordable access to our stock market investment simulator for less than $25 per month. Why would we do this? Simply put, we know how hard it is to make money in the market and we want to provide the most affordable means for you to master your craft. Odds are, before you end up at a site like ours, you have spent hundreds if not thousands on trading books, seminars, and workshops.  Why should you spend another $1,000?

Data is the key item for any trading simulator. Without data, you pretty much are looking at a blank screen. At TradingSim, all data fees are included in our price. Other trading simulators will require you to purchase a data subscription with a third-party data provider. These costs which are monthly, add up to a pretty penny by the end of the year. All of our pricing represents the total cost of ownership, so you can keep more of your money in your pocket.

Let me splash a bit of cold water in your face. For every 10 of you who become a stock trader, only 1 of you will be profitable. This does not mean exceptional, I just mean profitable. The market is one of the hardest beasts to tame. It only allows a select few into the club. So, now that I have managed to offend you, please hear me out before you click away.

TradingSim allows you to practice for free 24/7, 365 days a year before you become a stock trader and risk a dime in the market. Your risk is fixed at our annual subscription rate. These other so-called best online trading sites will dazzle you with free access, but in reality, their only mission is to have you fund an account to begin trading. Knowing that only 10% of traders are profitable, why would they do such a thing?

Well, it comes down to self-interest; the brokerage firms want you to trade so they can make money on your trading commissions. We, at TradingSim, have elected to build our business on the foundation of helping traders discover their strengths before placing money in the market. So, trade or not, we still want your business.

TradingSim provides two years of historical tick, level 1, and time and sales data. You heard me correctly, TWO YEARS! Simply put, you can’t find this much intraday tick data anywhere on the web. Having this much historical intraday stock data will provide you the ability to perform extensive research prior to placing your money in the market.

Want to see if you are improving over time? Simply take a look back at your investment gains and losses to spot strengths in your trading system.

If you want to fast forward through the action, click on the fast forward icon. There are currently 7 fast forwards speeds for you to flash through time.
