My friend.....The app store...
There are tons for fake trading apps that let you trade real life stocks with fake money. Good practice with zero losses.
Other than that I would recommend you get familiar with excel. If you don't want to buy Microsoft office you could download the free software called Open office. Exact same shit but free.
So yeah...check out the app store and download open office. All free of charge buddy.....

do you know how to program? that is basically a requirement for quant finance. If you do, you can use zipline to simulate historical performance

Just trade with paper and pencil. You're a student and should learn the hard way when it comes to tracking your simulated investments.

This way, you will be forced to think on the spot more about your investments and use more basic mental math. Something you'll need to be more than proficient in when attempting to become a quant.

As for wanting to become a quant, most of them study in a STEM-related field that's not so much related to econ. I suggest double majoring in something like physics and econ if I were you, or choose econ as my minor. This would most certainly change depending on what type of quant you'd want to become, but the fact stands that you should be enrolled in a STEM program that is heavy on mathematics.

Not to mention most quants have PhD's in STEM related subjects. Many of them are already coming up with economic forecasts and models in their undergrad. I'm not trying to deter you, but I'd suggest you turn to /sci/ and talk to them about this stuff before striving to become something like a quant.

If you know german: https://niiio.me
lets you create play-portfolios.
Although the UI is kinda meh and it's more for long-term investments.

It's different with real money on the line. Stop being a pussy and put a few hundred in Robinhood.

I thought the same way as you and spent over a year reading about finance and shit. When I actually ended up putting in my first few trades I could see the flaws in what I read more easily. Currently 11 months in and up 72% (bout 2K profit).

So yeah man up faggot it's part of the journey, putting a few hundred dollars at risk is a small price to get schooled.

Is it any different than libreoffice? i'd like to be as close to excel as possible in order for my skills to transfer easier.
