Trading Simulation
Simulation accounts allow you to place trades using a simulation of the broker’s platform. This is a critical feature. Some brokers offer real time simulation, some offer simulated data feeds. You do not want to learn complicated features utilizing real funds. If you do, it can quickly become a costly education.
Simulation trade your broker of choice to completely learn the platform and features you will use before committing real money. If your broker does not offer simulation, look elsewhere.
