I am surprised no one has really come up with a hardcore stand alone simulator program...of course there is NT, etc.....and I see the practicality in that since it's also a real platform, as is OEC...

But still, it just surprises me that in the world of marketing everything to do with trading...that no one has really made a dedicated simulator program (that I am aware of at least).
It's a good point Reav and one that could easily be done by these existing vendors. There seems to always be some shortcoming in simulator trading.

I guess the answer is that most probably would rather learn on the software they are going to use in real-time vs. some simulator software and then switch over to something else.

So it's really a matter of why have some vendors done so little to their simulators?
