Student Stock Trader: Learn Investing in Stocks

Student Stock Trader is a virtual stock market simulation game designed for students to learn about investing in stocks. Players start with a fictional cash balance and can buy and sell real stocks at real prices to build their portfolio.

What is Student Stock Trader?

Student Stock Trader is an educational stock market simulation game targeted at middle school, high school, and college students to learn the basics of investing in the stock market. Players start with a fictional $100,000 cash balance to buy and sell real stocks at real-time prices and build a portfolio over time.

The goal of the game is to teach core concepts like reading stock quotes, recognizing market trends, managing risk vs. reward, diversifying holdings, and developing trading strategies. Students get exposure to fundamental and technical analysis to make informed buy/sell decisions. Portfolios can be tracked over multiple timeframes to see their net worth grow.

Unlike many investing simulators, Student Stock Trader uses real stock symbols and prices for an authentic experience. The game can be customized by teachers to align with curriculum topics about the global economy, financial literacy, mathematics, and more. Competitions can be set up for engagement. It’s a fun way for students 13+ to gain investing confidence through hands-on practice with virtual money before putting real money at risk.
