What is the Traders Trophy?
The competition is situated within in a virtual dealing room created by connecting computers into a network. Each computer represents the desk of a trader, behind which you have access to news, phone lines and graphs of the traded securities.
You can compete for the top spots even without any prior knowledge of trading. The Traders Trophy is open to students from all faculties, ranging from econometrics to history, or from law to physics.
The qualification rounds
The qualification rounds are held locally at or near your university. During the qualification round, you get instructions, perform a dry run of the system, and then trade for 60 minutes. After the session you will receive your results. Generally two or three of these rounds are organised per university.
During the qualification session you will trade one equity. You will have the possibility to buy or sell in a virtual market, or contact other participants to request or provide prices. For a demonstration of the simulation software click here.
The final
If you are amongst the top traders of your university, you will earn a spot in the local final. During this final you will compete with the best traders of the other participating universities. You will be trading not one, but three equities from different industries. The winner will receive the title best student trader of the country.
