spread trading game

Hello

Sorry if this is posted in the wrong area.

Please can anyone recommend a good trading game for someone who is numeric but not necessarily clear on all aspects of financial market terminology? I am looking for something that will give me a flavour of trading generally and more from the perspective of a short-term trader than someone who makes long term economic decisions.

I would quite like to get a feel for the mechanics of trading. I have been 'trading' on sports betting exchanges and would like to see whether my skills transfer over to trading in financial markets.

Cheers

Barney

Hi,

You could try Van Tharp's trading game on www.iitm.com

It's a trading game that makes you focus on the money-management side of trading as opposed to Entry.


Thanks

I tried it once. A little basic but good for first steps...

I agree, It is basic, but it does encourage beginners to look away from what they wrongly assume is most important (Entry) and makes them focus on what is key (money management and exits).


Thanks

Damian
