2) would allow me to import a list of 100 stocks
3) would alow me to set up a dummy margin account where I could practice short sellin stocks
4) would NOT expire like after 30 days
Answer:
I strongly suggest you to leave the stock trading to the Experts.
If you need help with your investments there are many Financial Advisors or Portfolio Managers that can help you.
If you trade on your own it is very likely you will lose money.
I can advice you too.
If your car brokes you don't fix it yourself. Do you?
Try the NYSE web site. It has many of the features you are looking for but you may have to keep track of some things yourself.
schwab.com street smartpro software has a demo mode. you would need to have an account, as far as I know to use the software.
http://finance.yahoo.com I have a list of stocks there. The bar at the top has My Portfolios. You can set it up just like it was your own account.
