We will need to arrange for parking for you. The program starts promptly at 8:30am, so please arrive sometime between 8 and 8:30am for check-in. Im looking forward to see you at Trading Day!
TRADING COMPETITION RULES Teams will compete using the Interactive Brokers WebTrader simulator platform and may practice before coming to the competition with the login credentials provided (see proceeding instructions for login). All teams start out with $1M USD, and have the ability to borrow up to $500K. When borrowing, this is referred to as buying on margin. Teams will trade stocks (also referred to as equities) only - no derivatives, options, etc. We have pre-selected the stocks teams may trade. These stocks represent the most actively traded across the three major exchanges. Their ticker symbols and company names are shown in the table on the proceeding page. Teams may not trade any stocks that are not on this list. No single trade, referred to as position, made during the competition can exceed 10% or $100,000. Each team must make at least 10 trades during the competition. Teams may only go long on an investment, which means your team will buy a stock with the hope that it will increase in value. Going short on an investment (purchasing stock with the anticipation that it will decrease in value) is not allowed. Teams will begin competing at the sound of the bell, and must close all positions at the second ringing of the bell. They will have approximately 75 minutes to compete. All teams are assigned to either the Bull or Bear group. The team from your group, Bull or Bear, who has the highest portfolio value wins the semifinals. The overall winner will be the team that shows the highest portfolio gains relative to the market performance.
Note that on Trading Day, there will be a tutorial in the lab prior to the start of the competition. The tutorial will review the trading competition rules and show students the basics of how to use pertinent lab technology. We will also discuss some basic trading concepts, including concepts that apply directly to the competition as well as concepts outside the scope of the competition.
