Managing a Paper Trading Account

Hi all,

I am applying for internships, and am curious if it is worth mentioning a paper trading account? I have had good returns on it, relative to the S&P, but fake money amounts to nothing except experience and practice.

Should I mention it in a cover letter? Or maybe in resume, as experience? Not work experience
