CME Trading Simulation Game Online

The simulation is deceptively easy. It lasts only two minutes and represents an eight week period of trading. Choosing to inhabit the role of hedger or speculator determines your course of action.

Here is my 2 minutes score.

I know… it’s a lot harder in real life but at the same time it’s a lot more stimulating.

By the way, thanks for blogging, you often have info that we can’t find anywhere else, just like Across the Curve and Brad Setser :)

Did anybody try playing the game without sound or not paying attention to the news?

I seem to do much better just relying on the visuals: $3234 (30b 40s)
