Best paper trading platform for options....

[tradingpoker]

I am in the UK btw, but want US options.

Might I add that I am currently on interactive brokers, that seemed great at first for this. They factor in commission, put the orders through like it's a real account which was great for someone like me who is just practicing. Then all of a sudden certain trades that I closed the previous day were now open, very strange and not good.

I phoned them up and said I will be depositing a large amount of money soon, but right now I am in practice mode. So it's nice to have everything as accurate as possible for the obvious reason. The person on the other end of the phone said the paper trading side of IB is not meant for that, it's just for getting used to the platform, which I think is very bad and not good.

Anyway I need to find somewhere else now. Also I don't think it's right they have a paper trading account that does not word

That sounds like a weird problem, I never had that paper trading options. Maybe double-check the problem you're really having.

he already told me the problem was their end. He can see I did the trade yet the platform shows the pos still open.

We offer Sterling Trader Pro. Our demo would not suit you but Sterling Trading Tech (STT) has a simulator that might. It is not free. I think they charge $65/month plus market data. If you like it, you can open an account with us to trade with it. https://www.sterlingtradingtech.com/products-and-services/platforms/sterling-trading-simulator/

So I can paper trade options, but it will cost me $65 per month?

Thank you will check it out

Why don't you use TD Ameritrade Thinkorswim?

I can send you a Sterling Demo but it is not mean to be an accurate sim trading environment, has limited symbols, but would give you an idea about how the software works. We can take foreign accounts.
