open in viewerThe goal of this Interactive Qualifying Project is to gain experiences in the stock market investment by researching stocks, building a portfolio, trading stocks, and making profits. This five-week simulation used the real-world market to practice investing, buying, selling, and analyzing trends. Two trading strategies were tested: swing trading and position trading. Two simulations started with $100,000 cash and the same portfolio made up of five companies. The returns of investment from the swing trading and the position trading strategies were 9.4% and 14.8%. The results from the simulations showed that the position trading yielded more profit. The strategies returned different results due to the differences in strategies, analyzing trends, and technical analysis. This project provided real-world experience for the stock market, investing, and analyzing trends.
