What is the paper trader account?

Marketech has included a practice account (paper trader) for you to use with the platform.  This will give you an opportunity to familiarise yourself with the features of our platform and buy and sell shares before you set up your own account.  We have even given you $20,000 in play money to practise with!

The trades from your practice account don't always exactly simulate the live market and will not affect the share market.
