Employing an online simulator called Investopedia.com, which offers a virtual fund of one hundred thousand dollars for trading and investing in stocks, this research investigated the practical ramifications of investing. To ascertain the ultimate worth of the portfolio, a simulation was conducted over two weeks. During the first week of the simulation, a profit of 0.4326% was successfully attained. During the second week, on the other hand, there were significant losses that led to a total loss of -0.2485% in the value of the portfolio, which culminated in the final cash left amounting to $99 $751.5. In conclusion, the simulation of the first week was not nearly as bad as the simulation of the second week. The reason for this is that the simulator took an excessive amount of time to process the trades, which led to significant losses. This is because two active trading methods with a focus on short-term trading were utilized to carry out this project.
