As home work, the students where asked to read the articles or the papers related to the links within the presentation, summarize their own conclusion and also to try to apply TA to various financial assets with my intention to demonstrate the randomness of their success or failure. There where 2 venues TA only or fundamental only. Neither worked on the long run. Those with real own money in a pseudo exchange fared the worst. (1 cent was $10) quotes where real and margins rules where real as where commissions. They where not permitted to add money form their own resources when needed.Start was $100 and the students agreed that those will be their contribution to the experiment. Those trading/ investing not with their money fared better,or lost much more, but all in all at the end of the experiment they all lost money. The reason was simple the more they gained the more confident they started to be and increased the risk they took, only to later fail badly. This was an introduction to Behavioral Economics.
