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.

1. Edwin A. Stevens Building (EAS Building) Constructed in 1870 as the main building for the campus, this federally registered landmark was designed by Richard Upjohn, whose work includes the Trinity Church in Manhattan. In celebration of Stevens' 125th anniversary, a 40-foot spire was placed atop the building and dedicated to Dr. Leo C. Cunniff '50. 6. Babbio Center Opened in 2006, the Lawrence T. Babbio, Jr. Center for Technology Management, a six-story, 95,000 square foot structure, is the home of the Wesley J. Howe School of Technology Management and the School of Systems and Enterprises at Stevens Institute of Technology. 13. The Gatehouse The grand entrance for the Stevens Castle, built circa 1835. It is the only part of the original Stevens estate that is still standing. 17. Stevens Mobile Located in the lobby of the Samuel C. Williams Library, the mobile was created by Stevens alumnus and world renowned artist, Alexander Calder '19. The Torch Bearers Presented to the university in April 1964, it was a gift to Stevens by the noted American sculptor, Anna Hyatt Huntington. Cast in aluminum, the statue stands 16 feet high. Castle Point Lookout Castle Point is the highest elevation in Hoboken at 100 feet. The green-veined, serpentine rock overlook was mentioned in the navigators log of Henry Hudson's ship Half Moon as it journeyed up the river in 1609 . Cannon A pavilion was erected in Elysian Fields by Col. John Stevens in 1830 and later was turned into a hotel which faced the Hudson River. In 1888 when the hotel was torn down by the Stevens family, a cannon was excavated whose legend dated back to the Revolutionary War. It was believed to have been brought over from France during the Revolution. It was placed on Castle Point where the Stevens Family resided, and is still there as a protector of the Point.
