As a leading provider of financial market simulations serving the educational sector, we were approached by a major financial house to provide a global market environment for international training. The resulting product is a real time financial instruments trading simulator. The product delivers quotes and prices from over 75 global exchanges, bourses and automated quotation services to participants acting as portfolio managers. The participants are set up with an initial, 'cash' balance and are responsible for the implementation of an investment strategy to maximize their return. Performance of the participants is monitored in the form of daily portfolio, transaction and ranking reports.
