Fantasy Trading
A form of simulated trading where participants build portfolios and compete for rankings.
Fantasy trading combines elements of fantasy sports with stock market investing. Participants build portfolios by selecting assets (stocks, teams, or other instruments) and compete against others based on portfolio performance. Unlike traditional fantasy sports which focus on individual player statistics, fantasy trading focuses on portfolio management, market timing, and investment strategy.
