What if you had $5,000 to invest?

Whether you're a new investor trying to get your feet wet or a seasoned trader looking to practice more complex strategies before putting your money on the line, our Virtual Trade tool allows you to "try before you buy."

What is Virtual Trade?

Virtual Trade is an online "practice" trading environment. Experience real market conditions using the same order entry screens available for actual trades and get access to actual research data such as free real-time quotes and charts. It's just like real trading, only without the risk, because you don't use real money to trade.

Why should I Virtual Trade?

Virtual Trade is a great way to learn to trade - without the fear of loss. Also, you can try out strategies that you may not want to test using real money and find out which ones work and which don't. Virtual Trade also gives you the ability to analyze your virtual performance - download your positions to evaluate what's working and what isn't, or visit the optionsXpress Education Center to get up to speed on trading terms and concepts.

How do I get started?

Virtual Trade is available FREE to optionsXpress customers. Simply open an optionsXpress account and you can start Virtual Trading immediately.
