Backtest a Strategy
Backtest runs a strategy on historical prices and shows the equity curve, the maximum drawdown, the win rate and the list of trades, so you can see whether an idea would have worked before you paper-trade it.

Starting a business — two goals
MoneyDesk helps people start businesses with two goals for the country: export businesses that sell American goods and services abroad and shrink the trade deficit, and Main Street businesses that make families better off and the economy robust. Step-by-step game plans — budgets, permits, licenses, funding programs, marketing, hiring — plus a private launch tracker, printable field manuals and research white papers.
MoneyDesk is an educational simulation — not financial advice. Paper trading uses no real money and places no real trades.
