| When Mikiel van Smyker, a young, European IT professional living in Tokyo, wanted to get some practice in stock trading, he was not comfortable with the trial accounts offered by brokerages or internet-based investment courses. So he decided to create a free, unaffiliated stock-trading simulator where he, and thousands like him, could experience trading in a neutral forum. The result is www.stockerz.com, an independent, ad-free simulator for trading in stocks on the NYSE and NASDAQ Stockerz is free to use, and also does not carry advertising, so that users see a clear uncluttered trading interface without distractions. With unlimited use, users can trade until they are ready to go into the real world, confident that no broker will be urging them to open an account and eget started.
A simulated $10,000 dollar trading account is opened for each user, and there is no limit to the duration of the account or the number of trades. Users may hold as many accounts as they choose, making it ideal for would-be investors to experience different portfolios and risk strategies.
Stockerz.com is also a forum for sharing or commenting on investment matters, and a community of helpers will assist with practical issues such as setting up free accounts, or trading online.
Within 1 year the website expects to offer access to all major stock markets globally. A model simulating the wildly popular FOREX market is also in preparation. Stockerz.com will be available in English, Italian, Spanish, German, Dutch,
Mr. van Smyker developed Stockerz.com in partnership with renowned Italian
internet developers MagnetiCat.com
