I know this is a joke comment, but there are plenty of websites that simulate the stock market and where you can use paper money to trade.

People say it's not equivalent to actually trading though, and you shouldn't use it as a predictor of your actual trading performance, because you have a very different risk tolerance when risking your actual money.

Yeah, if you give me $100K I'm almost certainly going to make very different decisions than either a supposedly optimizing computer or myself at different ages.
