Investopedia

Investopedia combines free finance education, market news, explainers, calculators, newsletters, and a Stock Simulator. It is useful for beginners, students, educators, and practice accounts. The simulator uses delayed data, limited exchanges, and limited options, so it is not live execution or professional trading infrastructure.

It aggregates banks, brokers, crypto, real estate, private equity, alternatives, documents, beneficiaries, and currencies, with scenarios, estate handoff, advisor portals, and an API.
