Abstract
The goal of this project was to achieve a basic understanding of the stock market through research and trading simulation. By using proper investment and technical analysis strategies in addition to online simulation tools, investment theories were put into practice. During the simulation, stock trades were made based on different strategies. Results from several trading strategies were compared and contrasted according on their profitability. Effectiveness of each strategy was also discussed.
