TradeStation’s trading simulator offers a powerful virtual arena for traders to test and refine strategies for stocks, options, and futures without risking real capital. This comprehensive tool is designed to help both novice and experienced traders enhance their skills and explore new ideas in a simulated environment.
A Complete Toolkit for Natural-Born Traders
The trading simulator provides access to TradeStation’s full suite of advanced tools, offering a comprehensive learning experience. You can practice with unlimited paper trading dollars, allowing for extensive experimentation without financial constraints. The platform utilizes real-time market data, ensuring your simulated trades reflect current market conditions. Users can seamlessly toggle between simulated and live trading environments, facilitating a smooth transition when ready. Additionally, the simulator enables back-testing of strategies using an extensive historical database, allowing you to refine your approach based on past market performance.
Key Features of the TradeStation Simulator
Intuitive Forward Testing
Stretch the limits of your strategy with unlimited virtual currency and balance resets. This feature allows you to experiment with various scenarios and refine your approach without financial risk.
Creative Backtesting
Choose from over 180 built-in indicators to create strategies or build your own. The simulator’s extensive historical database enables you to test your ideas against decades of market data.
Real-Time Data
Strategize with free real-time data available to non-professional traders. This feature helps ensure your simulated trading experience closely mirrors live market conditions. With RadarScreen®, you can scan and monitor up to 1,000 symbols simultaneously; or use the Matrix to visualize market depth and liquidity in real-time.
Dynamic Environment

Customization with EasyLanguage®
TradeStation’s proprietary EasyLanguage® allows you to customize and automate your trading strategies without extensive coding expertise. This syntax-based programming language is designed for traders, enabling you to develop new strategies, automate orders, test custom indicators in the simulator and much more.
Test Your Strategies Before Using Real Capital
Whether you’re new to trading or an experienced trader looking to test advanced strategies, TradeStation’s trading simulator provides a comprehensive environment to support your growth. By offering real-time data, extensive backtesting capabilities, and a full suite of trading tools, the simulator empowers you to develop and refine your trading strategies without risking capital.
Remember, while the simulator offers a realistic trading experience, success in simulated trading does not guarantee success in live trading. Always consider the risks involved in real trading and never invest more than you can afford to lose.
