What is the best and most realistic stock trading simulator that's available for free?
I want to start practicing so eventually I can start trading online for real. So what is the best free stock trading simulator? Thanks!

1. You can try a free program that downloads historical stock prices and lets you simulate stock trades with these prices.

2. Investopedia.com has a simulator
3. Simulating in the past (backtrading) is much different than paper trading in the present. Consider opening a brokerage account that allows you to paper trade for free, which is following your trades in real time. Both are useful but the former alone is not sufficient.
