Fast Forward: Virtual Trading Competition

IIM Bangalore’s international business summit Vista 2021 presents Fast Forward, the trading competition, in association with Investment Fund, and StockGro.

The competition will be held on the StockGro application - a unique platform that allows people to practice trading during Indian Stock Market hours, compete with real players, and win rewards on a real-time basis.

We simply attempt to be fearful when others are greedy and to be greedy only when others are fearful. Choose your game wisely.

There are only two simple rules to follow:

Rule No. 1 – Never lose money. Rule No. 2 – Never forget Rule No. 1. – Warren Buffett

A good trader would make profits on a certain day but only a great trader would make profits every day.

Fast Forward this year is looking for the next George Soros who can use a combination of fundamental and technical analysis and has the skill and discipline to make a killing in the marketplace for 5 consecutive days.
