The purpose of this course is to familiarize students with the different types of trading strategies employed by hedge funds. Throughout the sessions, students will be challenged to understand and explore the application and implementation of these different strategies. Trading simulations employed on the Rotman Interactive Trader will be used extensively in this course as a way to learn and test different strategies. All classes will be held in the Real-time Analytics and Investment Lab (RAIL), located on the third floor of the Bass Building (B312). Students are expected to attend all sessions. Grades are based on in-class simulation results, class participation, and two written assignments.
