A Virtual Trading Room for Teaching and Research

The Financial Trading System (FTS) creates a virtual trading room designed for both teaching and research. With FTS your trading room can be up and running in minutes without the need for expensive back office computer support. Access to the web is all that is required to reap all of the benefits described below anywhere and at any time.

Technology has shaped student expectations of learning environments into being visual, engaging and fun. The step from computer games to learning in a virtual trading room, therefore, is natural and expected.

FTS lets you teach in a virtual trading room that is interactive, visual, and dynamic where your students learn from personal experience. FTS lets researchers conduct research at the forefront of experimental economics because the system offers enormous flexibility for creating virtual markets, with price discovery, under different microstructures.
