    This is about simulating Stock Exchange functionalities for the new traders who might be going to start their trading life. Here I will explain how I developed this simulator, the components, the technology I used and the Strategies I used, etc. In the first part, I will explain who are the players.

    Traders are people who trade. Mainly we focus on new traders and school students who studying trading. They can arrange trades for them, or they may arrange trades for others. Using the web UI traders can places. They can buy or sell entities or places to buy or sell orders. Using the web UI they can see their portfolio, manage their watch list, do analytical decisions using charts, aware of top losers and gainers, etc.

    We provide brokerages to customize the simulator to add their symbols, add new users to the simulator, and create competitions among trades. They can manage their brokerage through this simulator and provide their entities to new traders and students to play. They can choose the winners at the end of the month using provided reports.
