Stock TA Game app for iPhone and iPad
This is a virtual stock trading game. The idea is to test if you have any intuition as to whether a stock will go up or down based on the stock chart and technical indicators: given the initial point of 10,000, using the stock historical data, see if you can predict the unpredictable.
Tab on Buy button to buy, tab on Short to short sell, these change your position on the market. Tab or hold the Next Day button to move the chart (advance days) without changing your position. You can also use Next Stock button to load another chart.
Technical indicators include Simple Moving Average, Bollinger Band and MACD. Use Setting button to view or change. The setting screen also includes an option to reset all your records and start over.
Pros and cons of Stock TA Game app for iPhone and iPad
Stock TA Game app good for
Wonderful game for people having fun with stock trading. Works perfect on every device I have.
Although there are only a few technical indicators to pick from, this game did help me analyze which scenarios seemed to produce the best results. However, the game has been hanging lately whenever I try to start a new game. Not sure why that is happening.
Some bad moments
No instructions on how to play...nor intuitive...no portfolio management or anything. Baffling really...is it finished?
I have fun practicing my strategy with this app. It is limited in usefulness, but nonetheless gives true scenarios. The only things that I would like to see are a landscape view ( I hate the orientation of the iPad in portrait), a record of your trades would be nice with individual PNL.
I was looking for this type of training app all my life. Great work! I can only suggest more indicators and add futures and options. Thank you for your work!
Having problems getting to the actual app. Just shows the instructions.
Its a good app and a little addicting. :)
Suggestions for future versions:
1. add support for different securities types(futures and forex) even though the current anonymous charts works well, ability to use user OHLC data to use with app
2. include in options the ability to enter transaction costs(commission and slippage)
3. include ability to set limit or stop entry orders, profit targets and stop loss amounts
4. add DMI and ability to import an indicator
5. allow use of intraday time frame
If these features were available I would pay for this app.
Thanks
Please add more indicators. Add 2 more SMA/EMA, RSI, Stochastic, CCI, etc. I would totally pay for this app if it had the RSI and Stochastic indicators.
