Hey there! Well first off welcome to the community! You came to the right place to step into the stock market

Alright, you will need to create an account over at Investopedia.com - Your Source For Investing Education, then I would join the Silver Group. In this contest/group you can only trade stocks, and it is designed for new traders, so I suggest it highly before moving up into Gold or Platinum.

Have you read any books yet? You can also read through the FIO 5 Step Program, which is an excellent free resource for new traders. Investopedia.com has some excellent free tutorials as well for new traders, so utilize those too.

That should set you off the in right direction! Please also use the questions area for any stock questions you need answers to as you learn

Again, welcome to the community and I wish you the best on your new journey!
