Hello,

I am looking to day trade, in a simualted and life-like environment after the market is closed due to working during market hours.

Specifically I am looking to day trade SPY options.

I have utilized the search function on this forum as well as Web searches to no avail which is why I am posting here. Some simulators that I have found do not specify that I can day trade options. They only mention stocks and do not even mention ETFs.

Any recommendations are highly appreciated.

Thinkorswim is about as real as it gets. You'll have to create an account w/TDA but you don't have to have any $ in it to trade the paper trading feature. The level 2 feed is delayed but charts are real time.

Thank you for replying. My issue is that I am at work during the hours that the market is open so I would like to be able to come home from work and day trade as if it were live to see how well I would have done. Thinkorswim is good, but as far as I know they do not have a market replay feature.
