Stock market simulation...

[monk3y]

Anyone know of a good site that uses actual daily data?

You mean simulates how the actual market behaves, day-to-day?

Oh, for some reason I dont think that kind exists. Everyone would be using them.

I did use a stock market simulator a long time ago, unfortunately, the game was rigged so that you always lost all your money...

Of course it exists, but it's usually just called a "virtual" account. Many brokers offer them, but the best one to my knowledge is Interactive Brokers. An alternative would be to use a service that aggregates the data and offers it for download. Several charting packages (e.g. Worden) offer this, but you could even do it if you had an Ameritrade account and simply recorded the data. Other packages offer that as well.

Setup a profile on CNN money. I did this when I participated in a competition for High School students from all over the state. (Which I took 2nd BTW)
