1. I don`t know about downloads, but www.investopedia. com has an excellent simulator that simulates real time online trading. It is a great site for learning all you could about the investing community. It is the best one I`ve found, by far.
2. You don't need to download software. Your best bet is using one of the following sites to "paper trade". Paper trading is practicing with fake money. http://moneycentral.msn.com/investor/home.asp Click on "Portfolio Manager" and follow the steps to open up a paper trading account. Doesn't cost you anything and should be easy for you to use. This was my first paper trading account. http://marketocracy.com This is perhaps your best choice. Marketocracy allows you to open up an account and start trading like a mutual fund. You'll learn about the mutual fund rules that professional managers need to follow (nothing complicated) and will be given $1 million in fake money. The best part of this site is that they have a forum section where you will learn a TON. Also, you can post on the forum ONLY if you are in the top 25% of performers. This weeds out all of the spam and most of the useless posts. I think I started my real trading after using marketocracy. Anyway, make sure that you read everything you can and take advice with a grain of salt. Good Luck!
3. If your interested in forex currency this site has a practice account with fake money. Investors following this program are making incredible returns. You can realistically make 10 percent + a month because your money is leveraged 400:1 and its on a hedging system. Watch the product presentation video on the site below. I believe that this is the best system for trading on the Forex but of course I don’t expect anyone to take my word. I would encourage anyone looking for a smart way to trade in the market to try the demo so they can experience for themselves how it works. www.demofreedomrocks.com

6. Hi Scott There are several virtual trading platforms out there that will allow you to test out your trading strategies. They typically give you a set amount of "virtual money" to place pseudo trades with, using delayed stock market quotes. Scottrade.com has a virtual trading platform you can use. Go to Scottrade.com>Trading Platforms> ScottradeELITE> See the Demo, or go to this url: http://www.scottradeelite.com/register.asp. Once you've registered, they start you out with $100,000 of virtual money. (The terms and conditions can be found on that same page.) I hope this information helps.
