Please see the video below for an in-depth explanation on downloading and installing the simulator for the first time. 


Note: If you want to install the simulator software on another computer simply repeat this same process on another computer  by logging into the agreements page with your current trader ID and password and click on the link on the right of the page to download latest simulator version (or you can transfer the file you downloaded to that computer and install it.) Also note that you can only run the simulator on one computer at a time.



Your password and username for login should have been sent to you in an email titled "Your New Warrior Trading Simulator Account". Can't find the email? Go here for next steps.


If you receive an error at the start of installation that the file has a virus, or if you receive an error message when signing in, please refer to the troubleshooting steps from these pages here.
