StockTrak trading simulation

[Roger Trimble]

Has anyone ever heard of, or used the Stocktrak trading simulator ([URL="http://www.stocktrak.com"]www.stocktrak.com)?[/URL] $15 a month to test various methods for losing money seems a bit steep for a student, so I am curious if anyone has ever used this tool?

I used it for a portfolio simulation project as an undergrad. I don't remember too many details but the order execution was better than that of Investopedia still left much to be desired. StockTrak allows you to trade both equities and vanilla options along with the ability to short options. I don't remember whether you're allowed to trade bonds. Keep in mind though, this was about 5-6 years ago, so I'd imagine the StockTrack system has improved significantly. But I still don't think it's worth paying $15 every month.
