Our project consists of a six week simulation with a goal to become more knowledgeable in stock trading in order to make profit during the simulation. The simulation mimics the real market with the exception that we are using $100,000 of simulated money for each simulation. Momentum trading and swing trading methods were used for each simulation where we traded stocks from the same five companies in both simulations. With the market indices were down about 4.3% at the end of the simulation, the momentum trading simulation returned -8.8% while swing trading returned -7.6%. The results indicate that swing trading was able to perform a little better than the momentum trading simulation. After the simulation and analysis, we were able to gain more knowledge and experience with trading stocks.
