Financial and Commodity Futures Trading Simulator (FACTSim)

If anyone is interested in trading futures/options, I highly recommend using FACTSim. I have tried many futures trading simulators, and in all honesty, none were as easy and reliable as FACTSim. It was developed at the University of Florida, and is used by many other Universities (i.e. Upenn, Columbia, NYU) and industry professionals to both teach and develop futures trading fundamentals.

Here's a quick description from the website:

FACTSim is a commodity trading simulator that allows users to buy and sell commodity, financial, and energy futures and options contracts using real-time quotes from the commodity exchanges. It performs the brokerage functions a typical trader would deal with if trading these commodities in the real world.

For those who are interested, the link to the website is:

Enjoy.
