How the day trading simulator works

This day trading simulator compresses an entire trading session into about two minutes of fast-moving ticks. You start each session with $5,000 in play money and trade a single simulated ticker, INTRA, whose price updates roughly once a second using a momentum-and-reversion random walk. Your job: go long when you read strength, sell into pops, and flatten your position before the closing bell.

Unlike a buy-and-hold game, day trading rewards quick reads and tight discipline. There is no overnight hold here — when the timer hits zero, any open shares are auto-sold at the last price, exactly as a real day trader squares up before the close.

The intraday loop: read momentum → enter → manage → exit before the bell. Repeat. Small, consistent wins beat one heroic trade.

The anatomy of an intraday move

buy dip sell pop open close

Each higher low is a chance to add; each lower high is a chance to take profit. The dashed line on your live chart marks your average entry, so you always know your break-even at a glance.

Day trading tips for the simulator

Reality check: studies cited by regulators show the large majority of real day traders lose money, and pattern-day-trading rules apply to live accounts. This is a free skill game, not financial advice — see investor.gov.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

What is day trading?

Day trading means opening and closing positions within the same session — never holding overnight. This simulator compresses a full session into about two minutes of fast intraday ticks.

How much play money do I start with?

Each session starts with $5,000 in virtual cash. You buy and sell shares of one simulated ticker, and your equity and ROI update on every tick.

What happens at the closing bell?

When the session timer ends, any open position is automatically flattened at the last price — just like real day traders close out before the close. Your best-ever equity is saved.

Is this real trading?

No. Prices are a seeded random-walk simulation and all money is play money stored in your browser. It is a free practice game and not financial advice.
