The VTS² Series   
 
   
 
The VTS² (Virtual Trading Simulation System) was developed to create a complete “lifelike” virtual market environment, in which participants can experience and understand “real” market mechanisms through trading artificial securities based on live-feed economic news and financial data. LIVE runs either on the LAN or across the Internet, and offers several quality features unavailable in already existing virtual trading games:  
 
● Prices and market moves are determined endogenously, solely by trades executed by the participants and built-in computer traders.
 
● The existence of built-in computer traders provides ample market liquidity even with relatively small numbers of participants.
 
● Custom-made market scenarios and fictional news contents allow for creation of controlled environments, and enables isolation of, and/or emphasis on particular aspects of market-influencing factors, depending on the intent of training.
 
● Degree of course difficulty can be easily adjusted by refining the complexity and interval of news/information updates.
 
● Trade decisions and performance records can be retained and traced back (an effective review tool for staff development).
 
● Modules can be custom-developed for individual customers to accommodate for schedule constraints.
 
 
A typical training module consisting of 10 classroom hours (2 days), combines lectures and  2~3 VTS² game sessions. The rate covers all text materials, hardware and software setup, and game management. Discounts are available for numbers of participants exceeding 15, or for team participation. An instructor (with minimum 5 years trading experience with a major financial institution) will be accompanied by a assistant.
