Hi everyone. I'm the person behind Moneydesks.

The idea: one free site where you can practice investing with fake money on live quotes, understand what the words mean, and see what it really takes to start a business. Most of it needs no account. Paper trading needs a free one.

What's inside

- Paper trading with a free account: search any ticker, buy and sell, portfolio health score, trailing-stop alerts

- Strategy screens over the S&P 500 and Dow, plus forward tests (with an account) that replay a portfolio live against SPY

- Market pages that explain themselves: is today a normal day, what each recession signal did in past recessions, how much a stock usually moves on earnings day

- About 400 pages of plain-English guides, including an 87-chapter stock market course, a 37-chapter technical analysis guide and full business game plans

- 76 business ideas, each on its own illustrated page with startup cost, first 30 days and what goes wrong

- Today's Rates: savings and CD rates read from each bank's own site, with the time each was read

Accounts need two-factor sign-in.

What it isn't: it places no real trades and connects to no brokerage. It's an educational simulation and nothing on it is financial advice.

One-person project, Flask and plain JavaScript on a free-tier VM. Ask me anything. I'm here all day.
