Dalal Street is a virtual stock trading game. As opposed to conventional stock picking games, Dalal Street actually allows the players to trade among themselves. Trading is facilitated by an electronic exchange running from our servers. The player accumulating maximum wealth is crowned the winner.
Considering the great enthusiasm participants showed in Dalal Street, we have decided to increase the number of consolation prizes. Instead of 10 consolation prizes of 1500 each, we are awarding 15 consolation prizes of INR 1000 each. All trades will be reviewed today and prize winners will be announced tomorrow. Thank you for your tremendous support
The players are provided with a fixed amount of virtual money initially for trading.
On day one, 1,000 stocks each of 100 fastest moving Indian companies are offered for sale at the previous day's BSE closing price. Besides this, before the start of every day's trading, 500 stocks of each of these companies will be introduced into the market at the previous day's BSE closing price to add further liquidity to the market and to encourage new entrants.
Participants can do market research of these companies before choosing which stocks to buy. Stocks will be offered on a first come first serve basis. Trading will be allowed in these shares starting from day one.
