FIS RAMJAS
About our Competition
The Mock Stock Challenge is governed by game rules that you should be aware of to ensure you fully understand the online trading process and to make the most from this experience and possibly win it!
Rules
- Opening Balance
The Bank is giving you a starting balance of Rs. 15,00,000 out of which Rs.7,00,000 will be in Cash and the remaining balance is divided equally amongst all the 20 stocks so that you get 50 shares of each stock at the start!
- Securities Listed
A total of 20 securities are chosen by FIS Ramjas in a way that helps the players to learn and trade stocks in various industries. It includes stocks from large cap, mid cap and small cap category.
- Trading Hours
The bidding window will be open for trading from 4PM to 6PM. During these hours, you can place as many bids you want. Off-exchange bids will NOT be executed during trading hours and all the non-executed bids at the end will be cancelled.
- End of the Portfolio Value
Your final game ranking is dependent on the portfolio value at the end of the periods. At that point, your portfolio value is calculated from closing prices on the final day of your trading session added onto whatever uninvested cash you hold.
- Short Selling
Short Selling not allowed.
You cannot sell a stock that you do not hold.
- No Manipulation-Upper and Lower Circuit
The system prevents a player from buying a stock if the stock has hit the upper circuit. Similarly it prevents a player from selling a stock hitting the lower circuit. Again, this is to make the simulation realistic and non-manipulative.
