Stock market competition in Pakistan: free to join
Trade PSX stocks with practice money at real end-of-day prices, climb the rankings, and see how your portfolio stacks up against other people in Pakistan. No real money is involved.
How the competitions work
- Everyone starts equal. Each competition gives every participant the same amount of practice money.
- Real prices. Orders are filled at real PSX closing prices when each day's market data is processed. It is not live trading.
- Rankings. Your rank depends on how your portfolio performs by the end date. The rankings page shows the top traders.
- Start and end dates. Every competition has dates. When a public competition ends, the next one starts with a fresh balance.
