A real learning loop
Research. Decide. Look back and learn.
StockSim keeps the useful shape of an investing app while slowing the experience down. Prices are dated, the next step is clear, and every trade starts with a decision you can discuss together.
See the whole portfolio, not just today’s score.
Follow cash, holdings, allocation, and performance in one place. Deposits and withdrawals stay separate from investment returns, so kids can understand what actually changed.
- Clear total value and percentage change
- Allocation and holdings at a glance
- History across 1D, 1M, 6M, 1Y, and all available dates
Turn company curiosity into a reasoned decision.
Search by company or ticker, inspect dated prices and history, write a private note, and choose a price to watch. Fractional shares make a small pretend budget enough to explore.
- U.S. common stocks and ETFs
- Dated market observations with clear source dates
- Immediate practice buys and sells—never real orders
Build knowledge one short lesson at a time.
Twenty-three guided lessons explain shares, funds, diversification, charts, gains and losses, company research, and thoughtful habits in language a young learner can use.
- Examples grounded in the practice portfolio
- Activities and discussion prompts for families
- Simple completion progress without streak pressure
Start small
Three steps to the first decision.
-
1
Make a pretend deposit
Start from $0. The app suggests $100, explains that no real money is involved, and records the deposit as its own transaction.
-
2
Research before buying
Find a company or ETF, read the basics, study its dated chart, and write down the reason behind the choice.
-
3
Review what happened
Watch the portfolio change over time, revisit the original thinking, and decide whether to hold, sell, or learn more.
Made to use together
A practical conversation starter for kids and parents.
StockSim doesn’t tell a child what to buy. It gives families a shared vocabulary for asking what a business does, why its price might change, how much risk feels reasonable, and what they learned after the decision.
Read the family support guideA quieter kind of finance app
Designed around learning, privacy, and calm.
There is no feed to chase and no real account to fund. StockSim uses dated information so the focus can stay on the decision rather than the next price tick.
No real money
No bank, brokerage, payment, subscription, or in-app purchase.
Practice records stay local
Portfolios, trades, notes, watch targets, and lessons stay on the device.
Prices encourage patience
Dated market observations refresh on a deliberately calm schedule.
A little curiosity. A world of investing.
Make the first hundred pretend dollars count.
StockSim is coming soon to the App Store. Questions, ideas, and beta feedback are welcome at support@stocksim.app.
