Simulated Trading

Trading a simulated futures account is a great way to test drive a platform or a strategy. With a simulated trading account you set up at Custom Brokerage & Services, you'll place orders and get fills just like you might expect when you begin trading for real. But, there's no money on the line and no risk to you. If you are new to futures, it provides a vehicle to get your feet wet without risking any money. If you are an experienced trader, it is a method to test a new trading approach. Either way, it provides all traders with the opportunity to try the MFGlobalXpress and MFGlobalConnect online trading platforms without risking anything.

Whether you're a fledgling trader or an old pro who'd like to try out some new strategies or different markets, our simulated online trading system is for you.

Details

When you register for simulated trading, you'll be assigned a hypothetical $25,000 account to trade, with a specially coded simulated trading account number. You will be able to trade your simulated account through the browser-based MFGlobalConnect or software-based MFGlobalXpress. You can log-in to MFGlobalConnect here and by clicking on the drop down for Account Login on the top menu of this page. To get the latest version of MFGlobalXpress, click here. [MFGlobalXpress users: Please enter your account number and select "Simulated Trading" on the log-in screen.]

You'll place simulated "orders" in live market sessions and receive your "fills" online. Your account and margins will be updated on a mark-to-market basis, and you'll access activity reports and statements online, just as if you had a real account at Custom Brokerage & Services. [Please note that your simulated trading account has access only to delayed quotes and charts, including 27 technical studies, unless you are CB&S client who subscribes to real-time data and premium charting services.)
