Every Investing Foundation Course student learns the nuts and bolts of paper trading and practices executing trades online. But not every student is ready to jump into the market immediately after passing the final exam. With Investools' exclusive paperMoney® application, students can safely apply what they've learned about buying and selling stocks, options and currencies. The software works exactly the same as a real online brokerage system, executing buy and sell orders, setting stopsbut no actual money changes hands.
See what the fuss is all about. Test drive paperMoney® now. After you watch this demo, you will understand these steps of the stock buying and selling process:
The difference between a limit order and a market order
Why a day order is a good choice for many transactions
How to confirm and send a stock purchase or sale order to the online broker
What happens when an order changes from working to filled
The process of setting stop orders and choosing bid prices for them
Although paperMoney® is a powerful program, it's easy to learn how to use. To begin with, we deposit $10,000 in each student's paperMoney® account, to be used for buying and selling stocks, options and currencies, depending on the course. Students can access these features:
Choice of two dynamic quote displays, Quoteboard and Dashboard
Real-time streaming quote feed on all displayed pairs
