Is investopedia accurate?

My account value has increased from its initial value of $100,000 to $180,000, and I started investing in this simulator only for the dopamine rush of gambling. Since I am not yet able to register an investment account, I would like to know if websites like Investopedia and other online simulators are accurate in terms of both money and amount of stocks. I am supposed to be in the top 35,000 out of 1.8 million players, am I?

While investingopedia is a good resource for learning, models can never fully replicate actual markets. While your gains are outstanding, real trading is a different animal entirely, with costs, emotions, and market circumstances all coming into play.

Gambling and investing are mutually exclusive.

You are more than just a male, too, or otherwise you would be aware of your superiority over most people.

To put it briefly, it was all sheer luck, most likely the result of a focused investment in lately performing stocks (NVIDIA, etc.).

It’s a different scenario when you use real money. The simulation appears to have never happened.
