    I had done something very similar, but it used hollywood as the market! You could buy, sell, short, call actors and movies - truly a unique concept! The site I played at was www.hsx.com

    I shall check out the site you mentioned too.

    Yeah. We definitely need to make it competitive to make it worth our while. I don't care much about the prize. I just like winning for the sake of winning sometimes. ha ha

    It would be a nice educational game, sure. But I wonder how everyone outside of school would react to a game like this. I'm not sure if the masses would like the game that much.

    The idea is good but it needs a lot of attention. You need to give each and every small detail to your game that no one ever bothers to think about. And as said above, I don't think it will get much attention until you add same "game stuff" to it.

    In high school economics class we had to all play a stock market game. It was based on the real stock market, we just used pretend money. It was so fun! I would love to play again. It's great to learn how the stock market works and is really good practice for beginners.

    It's a fun way to learn the ropes of the stock market. I used market watch once for an economics project that involved that game. The game was pretty fun, and I made a decent amount of fake money on there. It's definitely worth checking out.

    It's a good idea having pretend markets. Some people will like those, but they are not for me. I have never used a pretend market to "practice". You dont need to practice, you need to gather the right information.

    Its not a game, its a business.

    Hi! I have a question. Will the game be using real-time stock market statistics just like how some of the Forex practice trading apps work?

    I think it would be better if traders can practice with fake money using real stock market movements rather than some computer generated fluctuations.
