Is gamifying stock trading a good idea?

1 pointsby tagabekvor 14 Jahren3 comments

After a quick Google search, I didn't see any applications that focused on gamifying stock trading. The idea is basically a fun way to trade stocks. I envision a very childlike atmosphere (It would target kids and teens) with achievements and tutorials that are exciting.

Obviously, there are billions of concerns with this (that I will not explain because I'm sure we can all picture them), so it's just an idea for now.

I just wish I had something like this during childhood (I am 18 now).

Anyway, is there any reality to this idea?

Probably not. There are lots of virtual stock trading platforms out there (using actual, same-day prices), and they're easy to use... I played around with some when I was 10-12. Not sure of the benefit to making a kiddie version.

Yeah, I was thinking along the same lines after a bit of reevaluation. I just wish that I was thoroughly exposed to trading at a much younger age. Thanks for the input!

Trading is already gamified. You pick correctly, you make money. You pick incorrectly, you lose money.
