Menus

Buying and Selling Click on “Trade” on your screen and this page should pop up. You can buy, sell short, or buy to cover on this page. Stock symbol, show max, limit price, Stop price, and duration are also things you may want to know. Account Details are on the right side.

Portfolio Your portfolio shows all your current holdings, organized by type of holding. On top it has your account value, buying power, cash, and annual return. Investopedia uses an odd formula to figure out cash and buying power but you don’t have to worry about that.

Market This is a picture of the markets link on the Investopedia simulator. This link allows you to look up detailed quotes, charts, news, etc. for a stock. It’s a great tool that can help you win this competition
