JA Stock Market Challenge

A fast-paced team event for students to test their skills in a simulated stock trading event.

When: Friday, April 17, 2026

Where: Junior Achievement

Time: 8:45 AM ET

 

Teams of 3-4 students are issued $500,000 of “mock stock” and must buy and sell shares in fictitious companies throughout a simulated 60-day trading period. Trading is fast, fun, and furious with a new day starting every 60 seconds! The goal of each team is to achieve the greatest rate of return on investment by the end of the simulated trading session. This is a qualifying event for the national competition at Future Bound by Junior Achievement.
