Wall Street Survivor Review

I thought I would write a Wall Street Survivor Review as I have used the platform many times and have found it a highly useful tool in my trading activities.

Account Opening

Opening an account with Wall Street Survivor is very quick and easy. There are just a few quick questions to answer. You don't even need to give them your name.

However, there are 3 checkboxes at the bottom asking if they can spam you. They are unchecked by default. So be careful about this if you don't want to be spammed.

When you take the next step, there is more adverts. You need to click the "no thanks" button at the bottom if you don't want to take up their "special offers".

I thought they bombarded me with too much in the way of ads during the account opening process.

After the Account Opening

After I opened the account and logged onto the platform I had a virtual trading account with $100,000 in it.

Looking round I saw I could use these funds to buy any stock or ETF listed on the major stock exchanges (NASDAQ, NYSE, or AMEX)

The Platform

The platform allows you to look up a stock symbols with ease. It then provides you with all the usual information about a stock including last price, volume, open, bid, ask, P/E ratio, Earnings per share etc.

One thing I also liked is, they have a "Stock Talk" section for each stock, where other members can post their comments about a particular stock. It is similar to commenting on a blog post.

There is also detailed news about each stock and sector which can be useful when making trading decisions.

Charting

The platform offers adequate charting for each stock. It has all the main options you would expect from a charting platform.

However, if I am honest, I much prefer the stock charts on google finance, but this is just my personal preference.

Conclusion

To conclude this Wall Street Survivor review, I would like to say that overall I do like it. It is the best virtual trading platform I have come across to date. There is a very good community feel about the site.

The only negative I would say is the site really is plastered with ads which can be a bit annoying. However, the site is free to use and they are in business to make money, so I feel it is forgivable.
