A simulator is a start. FinCamp adds the teacher.
The Investopedia Simulator has taught a generation of students what a limit order is. It is free, it works in a browser, and it gives you $100,000 of pretend money. FinCamp gives you a simulator too, on your phone with live prices, and then adds what a simulator alone can't: a lesson every day and an AI report on the stock you are about to buy.
Investopedia's simulator is free with ads. FinCamp has a free trial, then a subscription.
