Stock-Trak® has been the leading provider of educational virtual trading applications since 1990.

Stock-Trak has been the leading provider of educational stock market portfolio simulations and personal finance applications since 1990.

Disappointed with lack of any real-world trading experience in his graduate-level Investments classes, Stock-Trak’s Founder and CEO, Mark T. Brookshire, wrote the first virtual trading application designed exclusively for college Investments classes shortly after graduating from Georgia Tech with a Master’s of Science in Management.

From the original concept of providing university students with the opportunity to simulate managing a portfolio of stocks, bonds and mutual funds, Stock-Trak’s family of financial education sites has grown to include nearly a dozen proprietary sites each serving a different audience. Stock-Trak also white labels its virtual trading application to banks, brokerages and other financial services companies.

The StockTrak virtual trading application is the only virtual trading simulation that:

• Features trading of U.S. stocks, options, bonds, futures, mutual funds, futures options, and equities from 50 global exchanges
• Allows for complete customization by the professor/instructor/teacher so that the trading dates, commission structure, security types, and other trading parameters can be tailored to meet the class or group objectives
• Encourages students to keep a “trade diary” to record their strategies as they make each trade
• Permits professors/instructors/teachers to review our built-in curriculum and create a customized “Assignment” that requires their students/users to read certain articles, watch certain videos, and make certain types of trades; each of these activities includes a Pop Quiz at the end to insure student mastery of the concepts being taught
