The goal of this project was to perform stock market simulations using two distinguished stock market investing methods, technical trading, and swing trading. Data from these simulations would be collected, compared, and analyzed to draw conclusions about optimal trading strategies. Experiences gathered and conclusions drawn would aid new traders in navigating the stock market. A six-week stock market simulation was conducted for each method with initial cash of $500,000. The overall final performances of the two portfolios were +7.46% for the technical simulation and -0.317% for the swing trading. Conclusions from the completion of this project allowed us the ability to make more educated decisions in future stock market trading.
