What are the best virtual trading platforms?

Asked 3 years ago

Hello, I want to start trading on the stock market, but I'm looking for virtual trading platforms that simulate the stock market. I'm looking for something where I can really dig in, build a portfolio, test strategies, and learn how to identify chart patterns without losing actual money if and when I mess up. Do you have any recommendations?
