Using a virtual trading account in interviews - is it a bad idea?
Okay so as someone who was abysmally broke during college I couldn't afford trading at decent volumes with real money. Up until my internship, I had basically no trades whatsoever, and even in my internship, I'm barely doing any
However, I had a virtual trading account with trading^212 for 2.5 years with some really good returns (total 220%, factoring in pandemic hysteria). Understandably, the virtual trading doesn't affect real prices or security movement; however, I picked my trades based on actual fundamental analysis that I can justify in an interview
Should I be confident to disclose that or does it sound kinda pathetic?
regardless of it being real money, trying to convince someone who knows what theyre talking about that a 200% return over 2 years was a result of fundamental analysis or anything other than luck will just annoy them. I'd recommend talking about specific plays you made, why you made them, and how they turned out.
