Course details
This unique module is designed to give participants a practical front desk experience on both the buy side and sell side of the financial industry. The course is delivered utilizing trading terminals and cutting-edge technology, including live and simulated markets.
The first three days will be dedicated to trading and managing risk in live market conditions and across multiple asset classes as candidates develop detailed understanding of contemporary price drivers, technical analysis and the dynamic interdependencies of asset price correlations.
For the last two days candidates will manage client deal flow from the objective of a sellside bank as they act as market makers and maximise commission whilst maintaining a low exposure to risk.? This programme takes place on a dedicated trading floor, allowing candidates to apply theory at their own trading desks, in live and simulated market environments.
