Real-Time Trading Simulator

[Bloomburger 10]

I'm looking for a trading simulator. I would really like it to do commodity futures as well as stocks but from what I have found, they are either/or, no?

 

I tried tradingsim.com and the UI is nice but very limited:

 

First of all, it cannot do live paper trading. The most recent data is always 3-4 days old.

Second, you cannot compare a certain stock's chart to an index or another stock.

It doesn't do commodities or bonds, only stocks. Which they probably mentioned on their site (I didn't look carefully).

And lastly, it's very clunky. I suppose that's because the UI is actually run in a browser. But because of this it crashes often, and loads slowly.

 

 

Does anybody have a paper trading/simulation platform that does either stocks and/or commodities? I would prefer it to have a free trial that I can sign up for (like tradingsim.com).

I really would prefer it to be as close to live as possible. I don't mind 15 or 30minute delays...

Of course, other stuff such as the GUI are important.

 

Thank you very much!

You have no ideas on anything that trades commodities?

I think SierraCharts has a sim and/or market replay mode. You can sign up for a free trial and see if it fits you needs. I've never used it, but I remember seeing something about it when I researched it.

Ninjatrader have a decent sim. You can take a month trial with a broker or put down a small amount of capital.

On e of the great advantage of Trading Simulator is that it provide help for testing our trading methodologies.

NinjaTrader. Its free for paper/sim trading. There is no monthly trial. You only pay when you want to trade live.

OpenECry has a very good simulator for accounts. Ninjatrader also has a good simulator (free). Investopedia has a decent simulator too.ThinkOrSwim also has a paper account feature.

I prefer SprinkleBit's (sprinklebit.com) stock trading simulator. Clean design and social integration so you can communicate and learn from other traders. They're also pretty good about feature requests, so if you see something you want they'll add it.
