The goal of this project is to learn stock market trading strategies and get experiences by simulation. A seven-week stock market simulation was conducted using the simulation engine Investopedia. This project was completed by 2 members who used two investing strategies to try and beat the market in a short-term time span. One member used Value and Recommendation trading for Simulation 1 and Cryptocurrency trading for Simulation 4. Another member used Position trading for Simulation 2 and Speculative trading for Simulation 3. Trading decisions were made using both fundamental analysis as well as deeper analysis based on each strategy that led to the results of +10.98% for Simulation 1, +9.20% for Simulation 2, +24.73% for Simulation 3 and finally +8.82% for Simulation 4. Performances from all the four simulations were better than that from the overall market which by the end of the simulation was only up 1.36% (which index did you use?). By experimenting with multiple investing techniques, the members of the project could build the groundwork for future investments.
