Re: Testing trade

Hello Ramzes,

Welcome aboad! You are basically looking for a demo trading account. There are several brokers that provide a demo account like Cybertrader with delayed quotes. I am not familiar with a real-time demo account but I am sure other traders in this forum can provide you good information regarding this matter.

From my understanding most real-time data will cost you fees. I pay approximately $100 for data fees and another $100 for software fees every month.

Interactive Brokers "Paper Trader" is real time but it requires you have a regular account with them. That's the only real time simulator I have experience with.

Re: Testing trade

Thahks for answers)
Actually i thing what for me now is not important how i see quotes (with delay or not))
More important is how easy create an account, making deals and see results\reports)
So, i think i search a frendly interface)

Re: Testing trade

Hi Ramzes,

Are you looking to trade from a longer time frame? If youre going to be actively trading, I do not recommend delayed quotes. Also what steps have you taken to educate yourself in trading?

Re: Testing trade

Are you looking to trade stocks or futures. If you are looking to trade futures, TradeMaven has a real time simulator. I think you can try it for 30 days at no cost. Check it out at TradeMaven LLC . Read all you can, but nothing compares to actually clicking the mouse.
