Stock Market Simulator (Learning Tool)

A fully built, browser-based stock market simulator designed for teaching investing fundamentals in a controlled, realistic environment.

It allows students to observe how stocks, index funds, dividends, and long-term growth behave over time without real money, live markets, or external dependencies. The focus is on understanding outcomes, not gamification or short-term trading hype.

Purpose

This project was built for educational use cases where clarity, repeatability, and realism matter more than flash.

It is suitable for: - Economics and personal finance classes - Math and business courses - Investment clubs - Tutoring and homeschooling environments - Demonstrations of long-term investing concepts

Core Capabilities

• Individual stock pages with detailed information and price history
• Index funds (including S&P-style funds) for diversification modelling
• Dividend-paying stocks with passive income simulation
• Time acceleration to demonstrate long-term outcomes quickly
• Sorting by share price, company value, and dividends
• Market behavior designed to be realistic rather than purely random

Educational Focus

It is designed to help users: - Compare long-term vs short-term investing outcomes - Understand compounding and dividend reinvestment - Observe portfolio growth over time - Explore diversification through index funds - See how market behavior evolves across extended periods

The interface is intentionally straightforward so attention stays on the concepts being taught, not on UI gimmicks.
