In this project, a two-person group traded on a stock market simulator over a 9-week period using two different trading strategies. Preliminary research was performed on trading fundamentals and strategies to prepare for the simulation. Each member created a portfolio of stocks with a starting value of $100,000 cash and chose a trading strategy to adhere to. The first portfolio utilized breakout trading, and the second utilized growth trading. The first portfolio ended with $1273.45 in profit, and the second with $2,288.40. This project has been an invaluable experience in learning about the market and trading strategies and has made its participants better equipped to make smart investments in the future
