hour modules to 3+ days, depending upon content and objectives WORKSHOP OVERVIEW These simulation workshops utilise
proprietary computer models to provide virtual sales and trading
environments for spot, forward, and options contracts in foreign exchange,
interest rates, bonds, commodities, or equities. These simulations are unique in that participants trade
against one another and determine market conditions through an integrated
network automated brokerage system. Periodically,
news items and customer calls are introduced to create trading/positioning
incentives. Workshops can be designed for any

difficulty. Simulation
modules are often combined with and interspersed among product/market
lectures. SUBJECT FOCUS AND CONTENT Available for All Simulations ·
