About · JustTrades.us

Our mission

At JustTrades.us, we believe that participating in the financial markets is essential to building financial mobility and reducing inequality. Research shows that people most often cite a lack of understanding of the stock market, rather than a lack of funds, as the reason they stay on the sidelines.

So we built an intuitive, easy-to-learn virtual trading platform that mirrors the features and execution process of a live brokerage account, with different ways to get started for anyone curious about investing.

Different ways to get in the game

Start casual, trade for real, or run a classroom. Pick the level that fits where you are today and move up whenever you are ready.

Warm up with the Trading Game

Start casual and fun. The Trading Game helps you practice reading price action and spotting patterns with technical indicators. No account or sign in required. Pull it up whenever you have downtime or want to do something fun.

Trade for real on a brokerage-grade platform

Step up to hands-on investing and strategy testing on a brokerage-grade platform built for new and experienced traders alike. Take your ideas for a spin and see live-market results, not backtests, before you commit live capital.

We believe investing works best as a community, with full transparency. Choose to showcase your skills and your results get posted to a community leaderboard, so your position on the leaderboard speaks louder than any screenshot.

Made for the classroom

Most classroom tools either feel nothing like real investing or get so complex that students struggle to keep up. We built something different: custom instructor tools that keep it real and approachable, so educators can guide students into investing the right way.

Show off, or keep it to yourself

Every account is yours to share or hide. Choose between public and private mode, depending on your preference.

🌐

Public mode

Put your performance on display. Friends and other traders see your results update in real time — a verifiable track record, not a screenshot.

🔒

Private mode

Keep your trades and results entirely to yourself. Practice, experiment, and learn with nobody watching until you're ready.

JustTrades.us is a paper-trading platform for education and entertainment. All trading is simulated — no real money, securities, or brokerage accounts are involved. Orders are executed by our system in real time during market hours, and nothing here is investment advice. See our Disclaimer, Privacy Policy, and Terms.
