I am looking for a virtual trading site. I looked and tried a few, but they are way to simple for my needs. I am yet to find one that allows to trade options, futures and other derivatives. If they can chart a hedge for me that would be icing on the cake. Further, few allow to buy foreign stock (Japan, Korea, Chine, Europe ...) directly and only few have a mechanism to trade warrants, but can't seem to handle them properly anyways. So if anyone in the community knows of a good site that is free or even paid (reasonable price and good interface then is a must) please let me know, I am almost desperate now. Thanks in advance.

Good site for free ?

What do you mean ?

The site is always going to be free, but you get charged on the transaction fees. If you are looking for a site that doesn't charge transaction fees, keep on dreaming...

Anyways, you'd better have some good coin to trade with. Usually, real-time trading doesn't make sense unless you can invest 5 digit dollar amounts...

Good luck !

Hmm ... I said "virtual trading" in the first sentence. I want a proper virtual trading site that I can test hedging strategies on etc. No a single one I've see so far allow me to do more than buy, sell and short sell.

Oh, that's what you meant by "virtual".

Sorry, didn't get that.
I though you were refering to online trading...

Still, once you got your strategy figured out, my $ 0.02 apply...

I would not want to be tempted.
