Trade a market that
keeps moving.
Practice day trading and long-term investing with virtual cash. Tickrift runs a shared synthetic market that follows the clock even when you close the site. When the global-flow backend is enabled, paper orders from players can make a tiny temporary difference to simulated prices.
Trade now. Invest for later.
The simulator uses one account and one market. Choose a trading order for short-term long/short positions, or an investment order for unleveraged holdings.
Stocks, crypto, meme coins, indices and ETFs.
Every price shown in the simulator is synthetic unless a future data source is explicitly labeled otherwise.
The market does not reset when you leave.
Prices are generated from UTC time, so the same symbol at the same moment resolves to the same synthetic price for everyone. Reopen Tickrift later and the market has moved forward instead of restarting from your last browser session.
Tiny crowd effects, not instant pump buttons.
With the optional global backend enabled, filled paper buys and sells add a very small temporary pressure to the shared simulated price. One user barely matters; a large crowd moving in one direction can become visible.
