Hello, does anyone know of any day trading simulators that are free of cost, that i could use. Especially ones that use past data, so i can use the simulator when the market is not open?
Infinity Brokerage has one free of charge ( www.infinitybrokerage.com ) I do not have the direct link as I am traveling with my laptop but its quite nice. Real time data, DOM etc.. Cajun
I've been using them daily since sept 07 and have had them go down one time, you must have some computer conflict issues.
Tradestation just added this feature it seems http://www.tradestation.com/strategy_testing/st_trading_simulator.shtm oops i didn't see free of charge. I guess you could technically open up an acct and trade the simulator though.
I wouldn't count on TS's sim to give you anywhere the results you will have realtime. As soon as price hits your limit order to get in you are in right away. Unrealistic. Same thing with getting filled on your target. Market orders are pretty realistic though.
