If you are still a student try e-financial careers they offer good virtual trading games or wall street survivor, best way to get some practise also if you really are serious about it look into Benedix a recruitment company that offers good training tools for investors and very good advice best I have come across. They will also put you in contact with the trading and investors club a great source of knowledge.
