Pick a direction and ride the trend. Go long or short a simulated index future with $5,000 play money, watch leverage magnify every tick, and flatten before expiry on MGF. No broker, no sign-up, no real risk.
This futures trading game lets you trade a simulated stock-index future, MGF, in either direction with $5,000 of play money. You start by choosing to go long (you think the future will rise) or short (you think it will fall), then flatten the position to bank your open profit or loss before the contract expires.
The twist that makes futures different from buying shares is leverage. Every contract carries a built-in multiplier, so a small move in the index price translates into a much larger swing in your equity. That is why your Open P/L can sprint up or down on a single tick — the same force that makes real futures both powerful and dangerous.
The futures loop: read the trend → go long or short → leverage magnifies the move → flatten to lock in P/L → repeat before expiry. Direction and timing both matter.
Because you can profit from a fall as easily as a rise, futures let you trade trends in both directions — but leverage means a wrong call hurts just as fast as a right one pays.
Reality check: real futures are leveraged derivatives that can lose more than you deposit, and most retail traders lose money. This is a free skill game with a fictional contract, not financial advice — see investor.gov.
Learn the ideas behind this game in what is leverage in trading, what is short selling, and what is margin trading.
It is a risk-free game where you go long or short a simulated index future with $5,000 of play money. Each contract uses a built-in multiplier, so small price moves create bigger profit and loss — letting you feel leveraged futures trading without a broker or real funds.
Going long bets the future rises; going short bets it falls. The game lets you pick either direction, then flatten to lock in your open profit or loss before the contract expires.
Futures carry a contract multiplier, so each $1 move in the price is multiplied across your contracts. That leverage magnifies both gains and losses — the core lesson of futures trading and why risk control matters.
No. The contract MGF is a seeded random-walk simulation and all balances are play money stored in your browser. There is no real future, no broker, and no real money. It is a free educational game and not financial advice.
