basically you create an account, use fake money like in monopoly to buy stocks that are real and the prices are in real time to the markets. Allows you to experiment and learn without ANY risk at all. Then when you’re ready, you can go to a place like Etrade and do it for real. It’s essentially a “game” you won’t lose anything, won’t win anything. And it’s done in real time at real speed, with the goal to learn real stock strategies.
