Rules
Participants must be undergraduate or graduate students currently enrolled at Queens College.
Students will have a simulated trading account in a free platform provided by MarketWatch. Each account will start with $1 million. Students will be able to trade stocks and ETFs.
Cash prize for winners will be offered.
You have to enroll through the page “Enrollment” on this website, otherwise you will not get any money prize. No exception.
When you open an account with MarketWatch, you have to use your full name (first name and last name). Otherwise you will not be able to get any money prize. So the use of surnames or flashy names is prohibited. No additional signs or number. No multiple accounts: we would consider the account that has the poorer result. No exception.
The winners will be determined by the final account balance at the conclusion of the competition.
Important Rule 1: You cannot trade IPOs: no pre-orders and no trade the first day.
You can start to trade it only the second day and after.
If you do not respect that rule your account will be eliminated and you will have to start a new account.
Important Rule 2: Only your trades through our competition’ platform will count
