computerized method of executing asset transactions, typically via the internet, that
a financial market trader can use to practice their investing or trading techniques
without using any form of real money and thus eliminating all financial risks that may
result their trading decisions. As what I have read, virtual trading has been made
much easier in recent years thanks to the growing availability of online trading
brokers and software that can be readily downloaded from the internet. One of the
main uses of virtual trading is in allowing novice and professional traders to test out
new trading ideas and strategies, without having any risk of loss and while still
providing them with the information needed to refine their trading plans, styles and
techniques.
EXPECTATIONS
will learn a variety of financial instruments and their risks and rewards as they apply
to asset management.
INVESTMENT PHILOSOPHY/STRATEGY
follow the fundamental analysis strategy. I am buying those stocks that seem to offer
constructed from the securities that seem attractive price. I also made preference list
of companies whose stocks I want to buy. The strategy that I used refers to
1
analyzing companies by their financial statements found in SEC filings, business
trends, general economic conditions, etc. It stresses on minimizing the investing fees
and avoiding the unpleasant results of failing to correctly predict the future.
RISK TOLERANCE
Talking about risk tolerance, I am really not fond of taking risks because I
have an unpleasant experience where I take the risk and make an investment. If
someone makes some investment they will receive income or profit but in my case, it
was like I just gave my money and receive nothing except expectations and regrets.
That is why I hate taking risks when money is involved. In this project, fortunately, it
was just a virtual stock trading wherein the money was also a virtual. I can trade
whenever I want without feeling any fear and regrets. However, if this trading is for
real, I think I will be careful in trading and will have a deep analysis about which
companies are best to buy stocks. Nevertheless, I still put into my mind that I am
doing a real trading and that is why I did my best in trading stocks and I studied
Nowadays, stock market became rampant. It spreads quickly just like a virus.
Many people engage in trading stock because it helps them to gain profit
notwithstanding the risk which is the twin of trading stocks; as what I have learned to
my professor, the higher the risk, the higher the returns. It’s up to the investors if they
will invest to higher or lower risk and receive what return they want to have.

can receive a high return. Unfortunately for my poor knowledge and market

hulat lng gud hahaha”. That’s why, after three (3) days I checked again and still no
changes at all in the color that I was seeing. In one (1) week, I have a loss of 549.83
pesos. I hope the next time that I will check my account the loss will be lessened or
profit objectives, and their individual skills make different tactics and strategies
appropriate. Some choices involve a tradeoff between risk and return. Most investors
fall somewhere in between, accepting some risk for the expectation of higher returns.
ALGORITHMIC TRADING

Algorithmic trading is a method of executing a large order using automated
and volume to send small slices of the order out to the market over time (Chan &
Wiley, 2003).

can gain due to the high status of their corporation. As what I have researched,
those corporations that I traded with are on top list of popular corporations where you
can receive a high return just like Ayala Corporations. Of course I also based my
decisions on my cash if I can be able to purchase that particular stock and minimum
purchase.
AGGRESSIVE OR CONSERVATIVE
4
I classify my stocks as conservative because I didn’t bought lot of stocks but
instead I bought enough stock that was minimum to buy and test if that corporation is
good or not. I am a type of person that is good in conserving and not an aggressive
one that will just buy and buy and then will regret in the end because did not have a

on returns.
because it helped me in choosing the right corporations to buy stocks and it gives
me necessary information like which corporations are best to invest with. With the
available data that I have, I make sure that I carefully analyze and make relevant
MEDIA NEWS
Media news is essential to know the status of a corporation and whose stocks
unlike First Metrosec. So instead of buying stocks without knowing news, I just
My best performing stock was in Cebu Air, Inc. with a return of -38.58 pesos
and a return of investment of -4.16%. Obviously, it was negative but it was just for
now. In the long-run, hopefully I can receive a high return. On the other hand, the
5
least performing stock was in Philippine National Bank with a return of -314.32 pesos
and a return of investment of -6.36%. For now, the return on investment was so low
but since it was a long-term investment we cannot say what will happen in the future.
SELLING STOCKS
I did not sell any stocks during the game because the purchase price was
bigger than the price if I sell it. I decided not to sell and wait until the market price
rises.
OVERALL SUMMARY
Virtual stock trading, it is the best way in which you can invest money in
fantasy stock market. In this, you can actually get to know about trading fully. For
beginners who are just stepping into trading for them there is nothing better which
provide them platform to rise and learn properly all about trading.
Virtual stock trading is a really valuable place that all upcoming stock traders

PATIENCE
I have come to learn that this is the most important aspect when it comes to
stock trading. Expecting quick results is not the way to go and always leaves one in
a hot mess. I can confidently say this because I have personally experienced such a
scenario that ultimately led me to making a poor trading decision. It is therefore very

important that one takes their time to pick the right investment opportunities
PERCEPTION
I have developed a keen eye for trends in the financial market. My anticipation
of what might or might not happen had tremendously improved hence aiding my
carefully evaluated and monitored constantly before a final trading decision is arrived
at.
KNOWLEDGE
Stock exchange is more of a dynamic rather than static trade. Due to this fact,
it is advisable that you constantly keep searching facts or reading books on new
financial strategies to ensure you do not end up being obsolete. This will also refine
your skills and tactics therefore boosting you to the frontlines of this competitive field.
The total money I lose on August 15, 2019 at 6:00 PM was 951.73 pesos and
the total return on investment that it provides was -3.38%. The table below shows

know stock market by reading my PDF copy of our book and by listening to our
professor. But in real life if I don’t know stock market investment in practically it must
be great obstacle for me. The virtual stock exchange is a great impact by knowing
stock market in real life. In the future when I will invest in stock market it must be
easier to capture the market and easily make profit. In stocks, I need to be a lot more
cautious of what I buy and I need to do more research in the industries before I
invest. I lost money in the virtual stock exchange and I learned that the money that
you earn can quickly disappear but if you buy the right stocks it can also increase
If a new person enter into this virtual stock trading, he/she must be more
practical by investing in the right ones and research more on how to trade and find a
good strategy.
The thing that makes me enjoy is the fact that I am trading money without fear
of losing real money. I enjoyed buying stocks that seems good when in fact it will just
lead me to loss. I also enjoyed picking corporations where I want to buy stocks and
checking their performance if it is good to buy to them. It’s happy to see that I gain

but unluckily I wasn’t. Even though this project will end, I will still continue my virtual
stock trading because in the future I want to trade in reality. I enjoyed this opportunity
