Stock War is a dynamic three-round stock market simulation and negotiation competition that combines financial knowledge, portfolio management, strategic decision-making, and live peer-to-peer trading. Round 1 – Market Minds Test your understanding of the stock market through an engaging quiz covering market fundamentals, NSE, BSE, major indices, financial instruments, portfolio concepts, IPOs, dividends, market capitalisation, and current market trends. This round challenges your financial awareness, speed, and ability to apply basic market knowledge. Round 2 – The Trading Floor Step into the role of an investor and put your market knowledge into practice. Each team receives an equal virtual budget and a selection of stocks with their current simulated prices. Analyse the available options, decide where to invest, and strategically allocate your funds to build a well-planned portfolio. Your choices here will form the foundation for the final round. Round 3 – Market Pulse This is where the real market challenge begins. Throughout the round, breaking market 1 news will be released, and teams must analyse the information and decide whether to Buy, Sell, or Hold their stocks. The actual price movements will remain hidden, so participants must rely on their market knowledge, analysis, and instincts. Once the trading session ends, the closing prices will be revealed and the performance of each portfolio will be evaluated.
