The goal of this project is to use an 8-week stock market simulation to gain knowledge and valuable trading experience to make educated stock investment decisions in the future. After 3-weeks of research, day trading and swing trading methods were selected. Each method began with an initial investment of $50,000. The results from both of the strategies were impressive, with a 48% profit for the day trading method and a 41% profit for the swing trading method. Although day trading technique was more beneficial, both of the trading strategies were rewarding methods.
