Understanding Financial Trading
Objective
Financial Trading can appear complex and mysterious to those not in the business. This course aims to provide non-specialists with an understanding and some experience as to what Financial Trading involves using simulations with various products such as Foreign Exchange (FX) and separately, Equities.
Participants will experience trading FX and Equity markets in a competitive trading environment. They will learn to appreciate the professional skills of market making and price taking, dealing with fellow banks and handling client orders. They will have to react in real time to market moving news events. Risk management techniques will be developed from monitoring their changing risk profiles and positions.
The goal is to trade profitably and within their set dealing limits. Participants will improve their knowledge and understanding of the front office trading environment and the skills required to manage market risk successfully.
