Learn and trade
real financial markets.
Every member gets a $100,000 practice account, a live leaderboard, and a full season to climb it. We specialize in ETFs — SPY and QQQ — and teach the whole thing from candlesticks up. No experience, no buy-in, no catch.
Three students who wanted
less theory, more screen time.
The IA Stock Simulation Club teaches you to read and trade the market the way it actually moves — monthly workshops plus a club competition where everyone trades the same starting balance and the leaderboard tells the truth.
$100,000.
One year. One winner.
Trade whatever you want — we focus on and teach the ETFs most people start with. Highest portfolio value in May takes it. Here's the whole rulebook, no fine print.
Two halves,
one climbing board.
Fall builds the fundamentals. Spring goes deep — patterns, sectors, macro, portfolio construction. You trade every week in between, meetings or not.
The board
doesn't lie.
Everyone starts at the same $100,000. From there it's just trades and time. Updated every Monday, all season.
Everything we'd hand a
brand-new trader.
Season one opens
in August.
No experience, no application essay. Sign up through the Innovation Academy student portal, show up to the first meeting, and you're trading. Set up your account before then so you don't lose a week.
