Behavior

Why do stock markets go up and down?

Markets rise and fall because news, emotions, and supply/demand change daily. Swings are expected - not a reason to abandon a sound plan.

How StockIT helps you practice this

Back-to-back Market Panic and Market Rally make the rollercoaster visceral. Your job: stay a detective, not a mood trader.
