Short version: you can't paper trade options on JagSim yet. It doesn't simulate options contracts. Here's the honest rundown of what it does simulate well, and why getting the basics down first is a smart move before options.
Let's not bury it. JagSim does not currently simulate options contracts. No calls, no puts, no spreads, no expiration dates or Greeks to model. If you searched for a free options simulator or a way to practice options trading, I'd rather tell you straight than waste your time. Options paper trading isn't a feature here right now, and I won't pretend a stock order ticket is the same thing as an options chain.
Here's the part that works. JagSim is a free stock market simulator for real stocks and crypto, running on real market data with a 15-minute delay. You start every session with a $100,000 virtual balance, and if you make a free account, that portfolio saves so you can pick it back up later. It's fake money on real price action, which is exactly what you want when you're learning the ropes.
You get a full order ticket, not just a green buy button. That means the same core mechanics a real broker hands you:
Get comfortable with all of that and you've built the base that everything else, options included, sits on top of.
Options aren't just stocks with more spice. They add leverage, an expiration clock, and pricing that moves with volatility, all on top of the regular job of reading a chart and managing a position. If placing a stop order or sizing a trade still feels shaky, stacking calls and puts on top of that tends to turn plain confusion into expensive confusion. Practicing straight stock and crypto trades first means you're only learning one hard thing at a time. The order types, the discipline of cutting a loser early, the feel of watching a position go red, that all carries over. If the whole idea is new to you, here's how paper trading works.
If you're set on options paper trading, it helps to know what you'd be signing up for.
A stock trade has a price and a quantity. An options trade has a strike, an expiration, a premium, and a direction, and the value shifts as time runs out even if the stock barely moves. That's a lot to track at once. There are dedicated tools built specifically for options practice, and if that's your one goal today, one of those is a better fit than JagSim right now. No hard feelings. I'd rather point you to the right thing than keep you here.
Honest answer again: options aren't on the build right now, and I won't promise a date I can't hit. What I can say is the core simulator, the stocks, the crypto, the order ticket, the persistent virtual portfolio, stays free to practice on for as long as you want. If that ever changes and options show up, it'll be because the basics underneath them are solid first. Everything here is virtual money for learning. It isn't a brokerage, it isn't investment advice, and it won't make you money.
Not right now. JagSim doesn't simulate options contracts, so there's no options paper trading here yet. It covers real stocks and crypto with a full order ticket, all with virtual money.
No. There are no calls, puts, or spreads to trade. If a free options simulator is specifically what you need, JagSim isn't that tool yet, and I'd rather say so than pretend.
Options stack leverage and time decay on top of normal trading. Getting comfortable with order types, position sizing, and reading a chart on stocks first makes the jump a lot less overwhelming.
No. Everything on JagSim is virtual money on delayed market data. It's built for practice and learning, it isn't a brokerage, and it isn't investment advice.
