For a small project, I have to double money by trading stocks. While this would be impossible in an efficient market, the project below allows me to easily double my money (or more).

To participate in this program, I have to follow these steps:

1. Create an account (in a spreadsheet) with $100,000

2. Choose stocks to invest in and record in a carefully labeled spreadsheet: the amount of investment you would like to make, the exact time, the available price at that time and the balance in your account after the transaction.

3. You can go either long or short in one or more stocks at any time and you can trade anytime day or night based on last available price.

4. Keep detailed records of the exact time of each transaction and the balance in your account. Once you have reached $200,000 in value, you can consider your project completed.

Note: I am not looking for a direct answer for this question as there is none. I am just confused how I should approach it and would appreciate some guidance.
