Built-In Scanner Finds the Stocks in Play

Don't waste the first 30 minutes of your session looking for setups. The scanner surfaces them for you — the same way it would on a live trading day.

  • Filter by pre-market volume, gap %, float, and short interest
  • Spot gappers and momentum plays before the open
  • Focus on small-cap, mid-cap, or large-cap setups
  • Works in replay — scanner results match the exact session you're practicing

Common Questions

Why should I pay for TradingSim when paper trading is free?

Free paper trading tools use delayed or simulated data — you're not practicing on real market conditions. TradingSim replays actual historical sessions tick-by-tick, including scanner data, Level 2, and time & sales. You can also pause, rewind, and fast-forward — something no live paper trading platform offers. It's the difference between practicing on a flight simulator vs. watching a YouTube video about flying.

Do I need to download anything?

No. TradingSim is 100% web-based and runs in any modern browser — Chrome, Safari, Firefox, or Edge. No software to install, no data feeds to configure, no platform fees. Just sign up and start trading.

I'm a complete beginner. Is this right for me?

Absolutely. Whether you're just learning what a candlestick chart is or you're an experienced trader refining a specific strategy, TradingSim adapts to your level. Beginners love it because they can make mistakes without losing money. Experienced traders love it because they can practice specific setups on demand.

How long is the free trial and do I need a credit card?

The free trial is 7 days with full access to all features. You can cancel anytime during the trial and won't be charged. A payment method is required to start the trial to prevent abuse, but you won't be billed until the trial ends.

What markets and symbols are included?

All market data is included in your subscription — no add-on data fees. You get access to 11,000+ US equities (NYSE, NASDAQ, AMEX), futures contracts (ES, NQ, CL, GC, and more), and major cryptocurrencies (Bitcoin, Ethereum, etc.). Data goes back 3 years on Pro and 5 years on Premium.

Can I cancel anytime?

Yes. Cancel anytime from your account settings — no phone calls, no hoops. If you cancel during the free trial you won't be charged at all.

My win rate went from 35% to 58% in 3 months. TradingSim showed me I was overtrading in the first hour. Once I fixed my timing, everything changed.

I thought I'd try it for a week and cancel. Six months later, I'm still here. The replay engine is the closest thing to live trading I've found — and I've tried them all.
