description: The problem of investing is that not many people are educated on this topic, but most of us need to face it sooner or later. Since a large number of people do not understand how investing works, they do not feel confident enough to put money into the market. Assuming the market doesn’t have an unexpected downturn, those people would otherwise have been able to have their money accrue over time in investments. We propose an idea of having a simulated environment for people to learn and practice investing. Our project, paperTrade, is designed and implemented to achieve this goal. It aims to educate people in the United States on investing and provide a way for those interested to practice investing in a safe environment. paperTrade is a mobile application built by using state-of-the-art techniques, Flutter and Dart, that are used to develop a cross-platform solution. The contribution of this project is that paperTrade not only motivates the users to focus on long-term investing, which builds the users’ confidence to enter the real world of investing, but it also reduces the users’ concern about the daily fluctuations in the stock market.
