Welcome to the Wisconsin SMS now sponsored by Stock-Trak, Wall Street Survivor and the National SMS. As you may have noticed, The Wisconsin SMS is a brand new site that has been significantly upgraded with features and functionality found only in real trading platforms. The new Wisconsin SMS, is without a doubt the most realistic academic learning experience that you will find anywhere. The 1st thing that you will notice is your ability to trade US equities with real-time bid/ask fills and not end of day and not 15-minuted delayed pricing. The real world trades real-time so why shouldn’t your students?
The new Wisconsin SMS also includes real time streaming portfolio updates and rankings that refresh automatically every few seconds providing you with up to the minute portfolio and ranking information. With a real-time bid/ask order engine that includes market, limit and stop orders, you can now mirror the beat of the market including timely and complete updates of corporate actions stock splits/dividends/ticker changes. Teachers will be pleased to know that they now have access to a fully automated administration panel from where they can look at individual students accounts and rankings. Teachers can also see their student’s open positions and account balances by date including all activity including the number of trades a particular student has made.
We are delighted you recognize the value of the program as a powerful experiential learning tool. The WSMS is a great way for students to be exposed to the stock market, without the fear of losing real money! We encourage you and your students to research stocks that interest you, and attempt to build the best-performing portfolio. There are a number of lessons, activities and linked resources designed to help with the process.
