I spent 60 days in a practice account, which when I signed up I was told it simulated real market conditions with a one trading day delay. Once I built my confidence I opened a marginal account to short sell securities. Although I could short sell any security I wanted in a practice account, my orders were continually rejected in the real markets. Reason being, they did not have sufficient enough securities to loan out. When asked why it was allowed in a practice account, Nayyer J. informed me the practice account was for Questrade familiarization only, not real market conditions. Questrade should get there information straight. I would not recommend the IQ Edge platform to anyone. I like honesty in a company.
