MSE Fantasy Share Trading Competition

The_JinJ

Stealing this idea from another forum, a fantasy share trading competition.

*You don't need to be experienced*

The competition will consist of a league table, and very lenient rules - this will be good practise for all participants (and free!). Another good thing is that it is impossible to cheat.

Starting rules:
Start with £10k with no resets so your portfolio will run forever.

There is a £10 commission charge (fee paid when buying AND selling shares) and the stamp duty is a charge that accounts for 0.5% of the entire value of the trade. This is ONLY paid upon buying shares, NOT selling.
You can only trade shares listed on the LSE.

HOW TO ENTER THE COMPETITION

1/ Goto https://www.lse.co.uk/register.asp
2/ Enter your details. Make your username your MSE username or similar
3/ Click Register and go to your email account.
4/ Click the registration email when it arrives (usually 5 mins max)
5/ Sign into your LSE account at http://www.lse.co.uk/
6/ Click the 'Share Game' tab
7/ Click the Fantasy Share Game link
8/ Click 'Search/join Game'
9/ In the Game Name type MSE Trading Competition
10/ Enter the password

Make sure you use lowercase letters.

11/ All done!

Should be good fun and practice!

I'm putting together a short guide to using LSE but it is pretty intuitive.

Just post if you are joining and I'll update the post with current members

You do not lose any money? That is a very big plus!

Cheers

Good man, more the merrier

I signed up but it wont let me add stocks.


I usually enter stockchallenge and it has a monthly prize and isnt possible to manipulate as you cannot touch it for the whole month.

A fantasy game like this becomes about trading not investing which is probably not the focus of this forum


Prizes for 1st to 3rd is hundreds of pounds, nice bonus for a game

Sorry, not sure how it happened but seems the game doesn't start until Monday 9th! There isn't a setting that I can change to alter this.....hmmmm

I'm in, but cant buy yet waiting for next Monday's start date to roll around. Hopefully I won't have forgotten all about it by then...
