Objectives of the SimTrade Workshop

The objective of the SimTrade Workshop is to discover financial markets.

The SimTrade Workshop based on simulations gives you a pedagogical and playful approach to understand the complexity in financial markets.

Two aspects of financial markets are studied:

• How do financial markets work?


• How to act in financial markets?

Simulation-based experience

One of the features of SimTrade is the use of on-line simulations in which you can act as a trader in financial markets. Simulations place participants right in the mix of realistic market scenarios where you can practice applying concepts, theories, and frameworks to accomplish successful market outcomes.

From a pedagogical point of view, this learning experience is designed to help you:

• Become more engaged and motivated to learn


• Deepen your understanding of learning objectives


• Develop confidence in your decision making and critical thinking skills

Pedagogical dynamics

This SimTrade Workshop gives you great freedom to learn: you can start with theory in courses or with practice in simulations.

Program

The courses and simulations of this SimTrade Workshop cover the following topics:

• Organization of financial markets


• Evolution of stock market prices

Soft skills

Beyond theory and practice in finance, you will improve the following soft skills:

• To make decisions under risky and uncertain conditions and under stress


• To deal with the complexity of information about firms and markets


• To develop autonomy and to reinforce self-confidence.

This course is also an excellent opportunity to invest in your own mental software to optimize your learning process.

Terms
