Does virtual trading work the same as trading in real markets?
The idea of NZX virtualTrading is to give beginning investors/traders the opportunity to learn key market concepts in a fun, risk-free virtual environment, so there will be some differences to how trading may occur on a live market. For example, on NZXvirtualTrading you do not have to pay brokerage fees, commissions or even tax, though these may be applicable in a real-world scenario. There will also be some slight differences in the way some products are calculated, but the underlying market concepts remain the same.
