Junior - No not really daytrading games, at least the ones I have played. I'm in Canada & E-trade have an ongoing monthly $500G contest, but you buy at ask & sell @ bid, with 20 min time delays. This is hardly what you want or need for daytrading. You're probably familiar with Yahoo's $100G game, again with same idea. Final Bell have some games, I believe one with options. I play one that allows shorts but you trade @ next closing prices, which is nowhere resembling daytrading. There are many others & I think they are good practice for rather inexperienced investors but for daytrading, I don't know of any games. Would be interested if there are any but doubt any would operate with real time prices. That would be giving real time info for next to free & allthough there are free real time quotes on the net, I think this would not be allowed. Sure nice to have 1/2 mil $ to play with. Wish I could do it for real. Not totally realistic, but I do very well at the games, usually. tide
