Trading Game

Hello

Sorry if this is posted in the wrong area.

Please can anyone recommend a good trading game for someone who is numeric but not necessarily clear on all aspects of financial market terminology? I am looking for something that will give me a flavour of trading generally and more from the perspective of a short-term trader than someone who makes long term economic decisions.

I would quite like to get a feel for the mechanics of trading. I have been 'trading' on sports betting exchanges and would like to see whether my skills transfer over to trading in financial markets.

Cheers

Barney

I am also looking for the same thing.

Can anyone help?

Thanks!

I would just get a demo account...isn't it really just a game since it's play money?

Ok I will get a demo account

Any in particular that you can recommend?

Thanks

Barney

You could try this as well:

I recommend Oanda.

Play with FXSOL and their AccuCharts if you want to use a good demo.

Hi

Came across something just the other day on the internet which might be what you are looking for.

It's a live person to person trading game called Traderwars. I've never seen anything like it to be honest. Fun actually and recreates the cut and thrust of real trading very well.

WHTenn, I have never been a client of FXSOL, but their AccuCharts seemed a little bit cumbersome compared to MT4. What advantages does it have over MT4 in your opinion?

Thank you.

I have opened a few accounts and thought the best two were fxoanda and traderwars

fxoanda is really good for practising forex trading and learning how to follow trends

traderwars is good fun and is more about the basics of buying and selling and the process of execution

both worth a look
