Hi,

I've just registered to play the ASX sharemarket game, and thought I'd ask to see if anyone else is going to play?

The website is http://www.asx.com.au/investor/education/games/index.htm for anyone who is interested.

Re: ASX Sharemarket game

I'm all signed up and raring to go......

Been lurking here for a week or so. Excellent forum. Lots of talk here about trading to a plan. Well I have a plan to start trading. My only previous brush with the stockmarket was an outrageously ill advised IPO on the LSE (I'm a Pom who had the good sense to move to Brisbane) hence the sign-on name. That sowed the seeds of interest though, and now I intend to spend 6 months to a year 'pretending' until I am familiar with the Aussie markets.

The ASX game looks like the perfect medium for a completely clueless newbie like myself.

Anyway, hi to everyone, and back to lurking till I can think of something remotely intelligent to say!!
 
Re: ASX Sharemarket game

This will be my first time playing.

I'm a bit like you fugazi, looking to get some experience and learn what I can from it. My aim will be to finish the game with at least $50,001 :)

cheers

Re: ASX Sharemarket game

Hi Fugazi and Mouse, I've also signed up for the game - and like yourselves, I'm hoping to gain some experience using play money before moving into the real-deal.
 
Re: ASX Sharemarket game

Hi,
I'm signed up ready to have a go! Very keen, can't wait for it to start.
 
Re: ASX Sharemarket game

Afternoon...

I've just registered for the first time as well :)

I'm not a trader, but it looks like fun.....and there's even prize money involved :D

I'll now have to dig up my old charting books and do a bit of revision...and get a new pencil and ruler for my charts.

See you guys in the soup :)

ps....I suppose the ASX game is a bit like footy tipping but on steroids :)
 
Re: ASX Sharemarket game

Hi Everyone,

Long time viewer of this forum but this is the first time I've posted anything so it's good to get the first one under the belt.
Like you all I'm a newbie to the stockmarket, I've signed up for the Stockmarket Game as I think it is a good opportunity to test the waters before I jump into the market and use real hard earned cash. I've been reading books, Stockmarket & Shares related websites and reading the threads through this forum and the common theme throughout these media's has been having a Plan and sticking to it, so I think this game will allow us try different methods and ideas and put a plan together.

Cheers

Re: ASX Sharemarket game

I usually suggest to anyone that asks, and sometimes even to those that don't ask ;), to try paper trading before commiting hard earned cash to the stock market especially if they intend to trade as opposed to invest.

The ASX game looks like a well structured environment to paper trade while at the same time having some fun. :) Although one of the draw backs of paper trading is that you are not under the same 'emotional stress' when making buy/sell decisions using pretend money, I think the ASX game is probably the closest you can get to the 'real thing' emotionally since there are others playing as well and I suppose most will have a look occasionally at how others are going in comparison to them which could simulate some stress/competition for those participating.

At the very least I think the ASX game is a good way to test and fine tune trading plans.

I've always been an investor who uses charting to help time buying/selling points and so I can't see myself sitting at my pc everyday playing the game, but it should be fun and challenging since I don't see too many real bargains overall. ( I think we're limited to 100 stocks and we can't short stocks)

Anyway, have fun with it everyone :)

Re: ASX Sharemarket game

yeah i just registered for the ASX game. i was in the last one and finished 1401 out of 17104 nationally and my ranking peeked at 92nd in the state at one stage which i was very happy with as i consider myself a newbie. a good confidence booster. its a great way to paper trade as you can't change your results and have to deal with the consequences of any bad trades.

Well done on finishing in the top 10%.

I haven't played before and as I am an investor and not a trader my first goal will be to finish up with at least $50001.00 :) and my ultimate aim is to finish in the top 10% as well.

I doubt I'll be punching in buy/sell orders everyday though, but the game looks like fun so we'll see how we go.

I'm registered as qball1.

See you in the soup over there :)
