Introducing StockTrak – the college and university version of HowTheMarketWorks

Upgrade Your Portfolio Simulation

HTMW is the best free stock game on the web, loaded with tons of awesome features like real-time trading, streaming portfolios, and integrated assignments. To keep HTMW free, we are sponsored by the brokerage industry, and run some advertisements throughout the site. We also leave the door open to the general public – almost half of our users are individuals and adult investment clubs, and limit the security types available for trading.

To bring the full focus back to education, all college and university lecturers and professors are encouraged to take advantage of our collegiate version – StockTrak.com.

StockTrak takes everything you know and love about HTMW, and kicks it up to a whole new level. StockTrak is entirely focused on enhancing personal finance, accounting, investments, derivatives, finance, and more classes at the college level. In addition to the basic stock and mutual fund portfolio simulation, StockTrak includes:

100 lessons

Over 100 Integrated Lessons

Team Portfolios

You can group your students in teams – each student still progresses through their own assignments and makes their own trades, but portfolios for the whole team aggregate together for a better group project
