In our Trading Simulation… 

Traders on each team receive client orders for various asset classes like equities, bonds, and currencies. Their role involves staying informed on market news, analysing price charts, and executing client orders at the most competitive prices to maximise commission earnings.

Market Makers on each team focus on providing market liquidity. They monitor market news, assess competitor activity, and regularly submit two-way quotes to the exchange. Market Makers execute trades with Traders from other teams, aiming to capitalise on price movements and generate profit from market fluctuations. 

This simulation fosters a collaborative environment where participants gain practical experience in both order execution and liquidity provision.
