Looking for way to simulation trade with historic data or practice trading.

I want to practice or simulation trade. I don’t mind paying monthly for the data and platform. Would be nice to have technical analysis running with a blank right side of the chart.
I would like to focus on …
Stocks under $20
Futures
International stocks
Maybe Forex, but of less interest

Does anyone have any suggestions / recommendations? And links to similar questions?
Thank you and Howdy from North Texas area Craigthinks

Judging from my experience, I would go for an option where you train and invest in yourself and figure out with which strategy you really feel comfortable trading until you have full control over your emotions and risk. Worst risk for new starters is to think trading is about being right but it is actually and only money management game and new traders who blew their account in short while without learning anything will really be wasting their funds because money you invested(or lost) could have lasted longer so you would learn more from the great teacher, market. I find Topsteptrader is a great start for new traders. Without having to risk any money, having to stay within strict risk parameters and constantly monitoring your emotions, a combine program may give you a great start.
Best way to see markets is a teacher who teaches you in its unique way with lots of tricks and pitfalls. If you cap your risk and manage your capital wisely, you will be learning from markets forever. However, gradually you will exceed average threshold where market grants you a black belt and you will be living off of the others who does not intent to train for the any belt and those who are in market to feed their thrill. I hope this was not too poetic and help a little.
Best...

asoyata,
Thank you for your response.
I am trying to test some trading styles that were suggested by some successful trading in some local trading clubs.
But I know some of the trading is artistry, some technical and a little fundamentally with some trading rules. So that is why I want to practice trading off historic data with a blank right side.

Most of the "trainers" that I have meet at money shows, internet searches and live local user groups are scammers. I ask them for the trading records to show that they can trade and get the deer in the headlights looks. No proof they no how to trade. It is easy to have an account where people can see your performance. Places like fxbook, C2 etc. I will see what top step trader has. If it is the outfit I think they are, the had a good swing trading signals program, but they wanted a full year up front. And you needed a large account to offset the price. Even people that have sites like "ireallytrade" are "semiretired" and don't have trading records anymore.

And if there such good traders, then they should have a signal service to make people money while we learn. Like if you were training to be a plumber, there is some classroom training, but most is on the job doing and you get paid to be a plumbers assistant.
Very few of the live trading site even have records

take care
