I’m currently using the simulator on investopedia. But I only have $28,568.88 CASH, $64,581.83 BUYING POWER and $100,594.78 ACCOUNT VALUE.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
So when does investopedia pay virtual money?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The correct answer and explanation is :<\/strong><\/mark><\/p>\n\n\n\n On Investopedia\u2019s stock simulator, virtual cash is credited to your account immediately when you create a new game or join an existing one<\/strong>, based on the default or custom amount set by the game’s administrator. Investopedia does not pay virtual money on a recurring basis like a salary or allowance.<\/strong> Instead, all the virtual cash is deposited upfront.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The Investopedia Stock Simulator is an educational tool designed to help users practice investing in a risk-free environment. When you join or create a new game on the simulator, you are allocated a certain amount of virtual cash \u2014 typically \\$100,000 by default. This cash is available for trading in stocks, ETFs, and options, and the account tracks your gains and losses in real-time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Your CASH balance<\/strong> represents uninvested virtual dollars \u2014 money that is not currently tied up in open positions. Your BUYING POWER<\/strong> reflects the total amount you can use to purchase securities, which may include leverage depending on game settings (though some games turn off margin trading). The ACCOUNT VALUE<\/strong> is the sum of your cash and the market value of your open positions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The simulator does not<\/strong> pay out virtual money over time (e.g., weekly or monthly deposits). However, you may see changes in your account value due to:<\/p>\n\n\n\n If your cash is lower than the original amount, it may mean you’ve invested a portion of it in securities or incurred losses. Your buying power might be higher than your cash due to leverage\/margin settings or because you\u2019ve closed trades and now have more room to buy again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n So, to clarify: Investopedia pays (credits) virtual money once when you join a game.<\/strong> There are no automatic recurring virtual payments afterward unless the game admin manually adjusts settings or resets the game.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" I’m currently using the simulator on investopedia.
