Yes but do you get the girl at the end?

Actually I prefer black backgrounds, and nice candlestick charts with snazzy bold colors so perhaps it doesn't look like any old chart to me. I stopped flipping for pennies in elementary school so I'll have to decline.

Some things never change. The markets are tough. The markets are always changing. Trading never has been easy. Your statements are probably related to starting out at a prop firm. They want to see you can be profitable with 100 shares before they allow you to trade more. That is just common...

Let me know when Buffet lets any of his investments actually reach his holding period.

The best type of simulation is real-time market simulation that is done by a 3rd party or program that you can't "cheat" with. There is something to be said for gaining experience trading past days on a simulator. There is some value in this, as there is in altering the speed of simulated...
