Heres an excellent FREE tutorial that can teach you all about different methods of stock trading and investing. Everything from “The Basics” to “More Advanced Topics” and “Active Trading”. I myself have taken hours and gone step-by-step thru all the tutorials, and find them fantastic. Click here: http://www.investopedia.com/university/
Also, Investopedia has a virtual stock market simulator that is out of this world and again FOR FREE. I have used it myself for the last few years to test newsletter pics, expert pics, my own ideas, learning how to trade options, etc. You can invest just like you would with an online trading account at any discount broker, but with $100,000 of virtual cash, and you can trade without fear of losing real money! The Investopedia Stock Simulator supports equity trading (all U.S and Canadian exchanges), option trading, limit/stop orders, margin-like functionality, short selling and adjusts for most corporate actions (splits, dividends, mergers etc), allowing you to test virtually any trading strategy without risk. Its just incredible so check it out! http://simulator.investopedia.com/

Go to this link and download this game. I have played Van Tharpe’s tradingsimulation and found it to be an excellent teaching tool. It teaches you how to “cut your losses short” and “run with your winners”. It also teaches your the importance of money management.
