The Stock Exchange of Thailand (SET) is boosting Thailand's base of retail investors who use the Internet to trade equities or derivatives by releasing a second round of an annual online trading simulation competition, Click2Win.

The upcoming round will be launched in September, building on its success and enthusiastic investor participation in the May 2011 round.

"This activity has continuously boosted online-trading and helped prompt the new generation to trade via the Internet. Using the Internet is a rising trend because new Internet trading accounts were 41,251 accounts in the first six months of 2011, almost doubling from a year earlier," said SET Chief Marketing Officer Pakorn Peetathawatchai.
