Method and system for qualifying users for an electronic trading account

A computing system, comprising:

• at least one processor;
• and
• at least one memory comprising a plurality of instructions stored thereon that, in response to execution by the at least one processor, causes the computing system to:
• generate a real-time simulated trading account environment for interaction by a user;
• track the user's interaction with the real-time simulated trading account environment based on a first set of predefined parameters;
• determine whether the user's interaction satisfies a second predefined set of one or more objectives while complying with the first set of predefined parameters over a first period of time;
• track, in response to a determination that the user's interaction satisfies the second predefined set of one or more objectives while complying with the first set of predefined parameters over the first period of time, the user's interaction with the real-time simulated trading account environment based on a second set of predefined parameters more restrictive than the first set of predefined parameters;
• and
• determine whether user's interaction satisfies a second predefined set of one or more objectives while complying with the second set of predefined parameters over a second period of time.

A method, comprising:

• generating, by a web server, a real-time simulated trading account environment for interaction by a user;
• tracking, by the web server, the user's interaction with the real-time simulated trading account environment based on a first set of predefined parameters;
• determining, by the web server, whether the user's interaction satisfies a second predefined set of one or more objectives while complying with the first set of predefined parameters over a first period of time;
• tracking, by the web server and in response to determining that the user's interaction satisfies the second predefined set of one or more objectives while complying with the first set of predefined parameters over the first period of time, the user's interaction with the real-time simulated trading account environment based on a second set of predefined parameters more restrictive than the first set of predefined parameters;
• and
• determining, by the web server, whether user's interaction satisfies a second predefined set of one or more objectives while complying with the second set of predefined parameters over a second period of time.
