Trading simulators allow you to trade with virtual money all the assets available in a real trading account.
Trading simulators are capable of replicating the real trading environment with near-100% accuracy. The difference lies in the fact that simulated execution does not reflect the actual market liquidity.
Which platform to use?
MetaTrader 4: Trading simulators for MT4 platforms offer instruments such as Spot Exchange, Indices, and Commodities. Stocks or ETFs cannot be traded. All MT4 demo accounts are already hedged by default.
MetaTrader 5: Trading simulators for MT5 platforms offer instruments such as Spot Exchange, Indices, Government Debt, Commodities, ADRs of American and Global Stocks, Portuguese Stocks, and ETFs. Accounts are netted, but hedging can be activated upon request.
ActivTrader: The ActivTrader platform is fully online and can be used on any web browser or mobile phone. Trading simulators offer instruments such as Spot Exchange, Government Debt Indices, Commodities, ADRs of American and Global Stocks, Portuguese Stocks, and ETFs.
