In this Module we concentrate on equity and commodity markets. Traders are being offered a greater choice of trading activity including more complex strategy trading opportunities, multi-product arbitrage, market making and cross-border trading. In addition, exchanges and front-end trading system providers are offering enhanced functionality for the trader to use.

Testimonials

"I chose to study the Finance Trading Programme (FTP) as I wanted to get a more hands-on approach on complex financial topics. During normal lectures, we don鈥檛 have the time to see whether the theories we learn are applicable to the real world, and if they are, how. The Trading Programme provides me with the practical tools that I will need in the real world to analyse the markets and based on that, take trades." - MSc Investment and Finance Student
