Investopedia-Bot VS Trading212API

If you don't already have a brokerage account that has paper trading, try doing some virtual investing on a site like https://www.investopedia.com/simulator/. It took me a long time to learn that patience is the biggest asset that you can have.

You don't have to, you can always go after safe and long-term investments, learn how to cut your losses and make sure you don't get greedy. Maybe start with a simulator and learn the basics.

Fair I think you'd be better off just buying videos games and enjoying the money though since you're not gonna make a lot anyway. If you want to practice investing you could use a stock market simulator

I'd recommend Investopedia, it's a stock market simulator and gives you a fake $1000 to practice on the stocks you are on.

I'm not sure about a video resource but this is pretty good after learning about options, as a simulator

I think you can start a league on https://www.investopedia.com/simulator/

I don't want to discourage you, the project could be a lot of fun and you could learn a lot. But I do want to caution you that such a project would be pretty complex so there's a chance that when you're doing your initial design you'll decide it's to intensive as a solo project. You may want to check out https://www.investopedia.com/simulator/ which does this already.
