The competition was promoted by both the Australian and NEWS. Each competitor was given a simulated stock trading account with a virtual $200,000 balance to buy and sell as often as they from the ASX300. First prize was $10,000 and doubled to $20,000 when the winner has a trading account with CommSec. There was also a weekly prize of $500 for the competitor who gained most equity during the week.
