#### 4. Trade and Adjust

### Winning the Game

* You win if your portfolio value exceeds the market value at the end of the game.
* The bigger the difference between your portfolio and the market, the better your performance.

### Tips for Success

1. Pay attention to trends in the price chart.
2. Don't put all your funds into a single asset unless you're confident in its performance.
