Welcome to the trading experiment. This experiment will consist of 10 rounds. In each round, you will have the opportunity to trade Exchange Traded Funds (ETFs), Stocks, and Cryptocurrencies. Before certain rounds, you will be required to browse through a simulated social media environment.

At the start of each round, you will be endowed with a portfolio containing a mix of ETFs, Stocks, and Cryptocurrencies. Your goal is to manage this portfolio by buying and selling assets to maximize your earnings. To do this, you will use the provided browser-based trading interface (see the image below for a reference).

In each round, you can execute trades by clicking the "Buy" or "Sell" buttons associated with each asset. Please note that all trades are executed instantly at the current market price, which is based on historical prices of real-world assets. You may trade as many assets as you desire, provided you have sufficient funds to cover your transactions. No short-selling is permitted.

Additionally, throughout the experiment, you will encounter attention check sections. It's crucial that you pass these checks to ensure your eligibility for reimbursement. Your performance in the trading sections will determine your potential to earn a bonus at the conclusion of the experiment.
