Can I "Play" Investor with Quicken Sim Style?
Laconic747
Curious - Can I input values, etc. manually into Quicken without having real accounts to gauge a variety of investing styles?

Hi
@Laconic747
The short answer is "yes". You can input non-real data into Quicken and thereby simulate "investing styles" or transactions. However, I would suggest that you not do that in your "real" quicken datafile. Rather, you should setup a second Quicken datafile for that purpose. Also keep in mind that you can download data (such as security quotes) into such a file.

What I would do is create a separate data file for this. You can manually add your securities and test transactions and then have Quicken update the prices. When you create the accounts just don’t connect them to an actual brokerage account (set it up as an offline account)
