FAQ
Everything you might want to know about JagSim, the free paper-trading simulator.
JagSim is a free paper-trading simulator that runs in your web browser. You start with a persistent $100,000 paper-trading portfolio, trade a simulated market on real charts, and climb a live leaderboard. It's built for practising and getting better, not for trading real money.
Yes. Paper trading is free and stays free, with no credit card needed to start. The $100,000 practice account, live charts, the full order ticket, your trade history and the leaderboard are all in the free plan, and it is not a trial or a time-limited demo. There is also an optional upgrade, JagSim Pro, at $4.99 a month or $49 a year - you never need it to practise trading.
Both. Coach Jag explains the platform while you use it - tap a word or a button anywhere on the site and Coach Jag explains what it means, and guided walkthroughs take you through the whole platform step by step. Most simulators hand you a blank chart and leave you to work it out. A free account includes the guided tour and 5 glossary terms; Coach Jag unlocks every walkthrough and the full glossary at $1.99/mo, or it is included with JagSim Pro.
JagSim Pro is $4.99 a month or $49 a year. It adds unlimited Coach Jag, portfolio analytics, up to four live charts side by side, Deep Dive Tape on names you hold, company files on every name you look up, your paper trades drawn on the price history, market-wide calendar rows, dividend tracking, complete performance stats, advanced price alerts, book-backed calculators, portfolio stress testing and a full data export. The practice-universe screener and book calendar dates stay free. Paper trading itself stays free - Pro is an upgrade, not a paywall. See Free vs Pro for the full comparison, or Plans to subscribe.

No. JagSim runs instantly in your web browser, so there's nothing to download or install. It works on desktop and on mobile in any modern browser.
Yes. Because you trade with play money, JagSim is a risk-free way for beginners to practise buying and selling, see how a portfolio moves, and get comfortable with trading mechanics before ever putting real money at stake.
JagSim is free to start with no credit card, runs instantly in the browser, and pairs a realistic trading desk with a persistent $100,000 portfolio and a live leaderboard, rather than a dry, throwaway trading screen. The goal is to make practising trading genuinely useful and worth coming back to.
JagSim collects your email address (needed to sign in), the profile and trading stats you create (username, portfolio, and trade history), and basic usage analytics. It does not sell your data, and you can delete your account and all associated data at any time. See the Privacy Policy for details.
You must be at least 13 years old to use JagSim. We do not knowingly allow accounts for children under 13.
Go to the free demo and place a practice trade with $100,000 virtual cash on real live charts. When you want a permanent portfolio and a leaderboard spot, create a free account, email and password, no credit card.
Signed-in Paper Trading portfolios are permanent. There are no seasons and no forced resets. Virtual P&L sticks so you can track long-term practice. The free demo is for trying the desk; saving and ranking require a free account. Full answer: paper trading that doesn't reset.
