A Web-based Stock Simulation Training to Elevate the Knowledge in Capital Market Investment
The subdivision of Accounting Department i.e., the Investment Gallery of Swiss German University in collaboration with PT Ide Kreasindo Utama conducted a workshop about Online Stock Simulation Trading on November 15, 2016. This is the next step to enrich the knowledge of SGU students and lecturers about the investment in capital market.
The purpose of this workshop was to introduce an integrated capital market lab through web based simulation. By using a virtual online trading system, the candidate investors will learn the mechanism of the transactions including buying and selling shares before acting as a real investor. Each investor will be provided some amount of money virtually and they can use it to buy and sell the shares as they please. By providing a virtual account, the candidate investors feel like they are participating as a real trader. It would attract future investors’ passion and interest yet minimizes risks during transactions.
