Trader Ex / Professor Robert Schwartz

TraderEx

TraderEx is an interactive computer simulation designed to provide participants with hands-on experience in making tactical trading decisions, and implementing them in different market environments. Continuous order driven and quote driven markets are simulated, along with call auctions and hybrid combinations.

Enter your orders into a computer-driven market that generates its own order flow, and can respond directly to your orders. Results are viewed real-time and can be analyzed after each simulation run. You are free to experiment with your order placement.
