Interested in online trading? The Get Smarter About Trading simulator exposes you to gamification techniques that can influence your investing behaviour — often in ways that are not in your best interest. It gives you the chance to participate in a virtual stock market and practice online trading — without risking real money.
Gamification techniques can influence your behaviour in several ways. They can encourage you to trade more frequently than you otherwise would, which has been shown to lower returns in the long run. These techniques can also affect your trading decisions by nudging you toward certain investments that may not be suitable for you.
Try our simulation. See if you can detect how gamification techniques affect the investing choices you make. And find out your results at the end.
