Web-based e-mini simulator?

C2

Hey all. I’m a newbie with a Mac. I’m trying to find a web-based simulator to practice trading the Dow Emini, but there are none that I can find (they all require downloading a .EXE file, which my Mac can’t handle). My best bet is to find someone who has developed a Web-based trial version. Anyone know of one?



Thanks,

Erik

You could run a Microsoft virtual PC or a dual partition, you’ll then be able to run most MS software from your Mac.



I have no experience with the software below.

Any independed from the market simulator is based on random numbers generation. Imho you cannot practice anything on that :wink:

Best case is to open account with a broker who offers simulation account. Usually you’ll have web-based interface from a broker. However you have to put some deposit for broker of your choice.

C2 offers forward testing(see test systems) without real time quotes. If you have real-time feed it might be very cheap way for forward test and avoiding fooling yourself.



Otherwise, there is no free lunch for practice in futures :wink:



Hope it helps,

If you don’t mind using delayed quotes data, try Interactive Broker’s free demo (either Java or web-based) http://www.interactivebrokers.com/en/software/demo.php?ib_entity=llc

Unrealistic. The demo is only for becoming familiar with TWS interface. You cannot practice anything with the kind of quotes and fills :wink:
