Course Description: The main goal of this course is to provide students a taste of ‘real life’ situations in a hedge fund/ trading desk. In brief, students will learn how to trade the leading indexes in the world: S&P, Nasdaq, Dow Jones. The most important currencies: Euro/USD, USD/Yen, USD/Canadian Dollar; the metals: Gold, silver, copper; commodities: Corn and oil and the all NYSE stocks. Trading is a mixture of sound economic theory with a touch of economic news and lots of technical analysis. The proposal (and my wish) is to be able to pass along to students what makes a successful trader/fund manager. We use computer software where students get acquainted with spot and futures transactions in the key markets: commodities, currencies, stock indexes and metals. Students will then apply option strategies like: straddles, butterfly, strangle, collar and candle, among others.
