About Virtual-Stock-Exchange

V-S-E is the World’s #1 Free Global Stock Market Game, with stocks, currencies, and commodities from over 30 different countries around the world. Our trading platform is used by over 20,000 teachers and 200,000 students every year to learn about personal finance, investing, economics, mathematics, and social studies.

Our site also includes an expansive Learn Center with dozens of articles, glossary terms, and resources for individuals who are looking to learn more about investing, as well as an expansive Quotes page with massive amounts of research information on US stocks.

The V-S-E is powered by Stock-Trak, the world’s leading investment simulation platform, featuring global stocks, bonds, mutual funds, ETFs, options, futures, and future options over 50 global exchanges, and HowTheMarketWorks, the fastest-growing fantasy stock game in the United States and Canada, featuring US and Canadian stocks and mutual funds.

V-S-E was created to help students and investors from all over the world practice with paper trading, or trading real stocks at real prices on real exchanges with fake money, getting valuable experience trading on global stock markets without risking any real money.

We also include lesson plans covering personal finance, mathematics, and economics lessons for all age levels, and are always looking for new resources to make available to teachers.
