Desert Mirage

Welcome to my new initiative “Desert Mirage (DM©)”!

This trading simulation is aimed at engaging my readers into an interactive and evolving application built-up on the set of capital markets knowledge they have acquired so far. The trading platform is to be structured on multiple stages, starting with a basic level up to an expert level. For the first stage of the trading simulation, please follow these steps:

STEP #1:
Before joining the Desert Mirage, do read the “Trading Simulation Rules“.

STEP #2:
Once you convinced yourself that you are in the right place, complete the portfolio allocation process by clicking on the following link: Capital Allocation. Since the first trading week does not start until Monday November 30th, you can place the opening order anytime within this period. For the following weeks, you could send orders anytime during the week, as required in the “Trading Simulation Rules”. Make sure that your allocations sum-up to 100% and each position reads either Long or Short.

REPORTING:
For a sample of a two-week trading period activity open the PDF file: Desert Mirage Report. Each Saturday, a full P&L Ranking Report will be posted on this page. The first report is to be posted on December 5th, 2009.
