Simulator · S&P 500 futures
ES futures trading simulator
A paper-trading simulator for E-mini S&P 500 futures that runs on recorded sessions, so you can practise entries, stops and position size on real price action.
The simulator prices ES at $50 per index point ($12.50 per 0.25 tick, per CME Group) and runs on 257 ES sessions from October 29, 2025 through October 26, 2026. It's practice only — no broker, no real money.
