Stock Battle Game Rules!

• Avoid glitch/exploit stocks

• No more than three trades on the same stock on the same dayMust be 75% invested in the market most of the time to be eligible to win (if the market drops we aren’t looking to have people sitting on the sideline jump to the lead)

• No more than 33% of money can be invested in an individual stock (Trying to have students explore more than one stock and mitigate some of the power trading on only one stock)
