The challenge will consist of three cases, each run twice (6 total simulations). The trader with the highest average P&L in each case will be the winner for that case. The first half-hour of the event will consist of practice rounds to get students familiar with order-types, trading strategies, and the RIT software.
Note that the M3 Finance Lab has a MAXIMUM CAPACITY OF 35. Please arrive early to ensure yourself a spot. The social in DC Fishbowl following the event is open to UWFA MEMBERS ONLY. If you aren't a member but would like to attend the social, you will be able to sign up at the door.
