virtual stock exchange is a game. A simulation of what would happen if you traded.

Virtual stock exchange is where you learn to lose money.
Stock market is where you actually lose money.

LMAO!! Yeah, pretty much. A virtual stock exchange is what's also referred to as "Paper Trading".

Thats the million dollar question....

If it were so easy, everyone would be rich. There are lots of strategies out there. If you are completely new to the markets go to your local Barnes and Noble store; find the finance section. Spend a day reading the intro chapters on some of those books and pick a few you like to take home and read, read again. Get a practice account and do just that practice.... Decide if you want to invest or trade or maybe some of both and develop your personal strategy around it once you learn some basics.

If so many people are losing money in the stock market. Why do they even trade?

Same reason people keep buying lottery tickets for games with 1-in-75-million odds of winning. Hopes and Dreams.

The reason people trade is because so many people lose money in the stock market.
