A fun game to develop your share-market technical-analysis skills

 How good are you at reading share charts?

The object of this share-trading game is to  make a hypothetical fortune using technical-analysis skills.

You are given $100,000 to start with. You are then presented with share charts that have been randomly selected from stock market data from the last 12 months. You study the chart and then decide whether to buy, sell, look to see what happens next, or move to another chart.

This game is a fun way to test your charting theories and to develop your trading discipline.  Consistently making money from charts alone is very hard. Hopefully this game will convince you of that  and encourage you to perfect your technical analysis before you spend your own money.

This is how the game looks. It’s free, ready to play straight away and it’s quite fun!
