Recently I participated in the Refinitiv University Dealing challenge.
Not sure how or why the lecturer asked me to participate. Silly of me not to ask. I'm sure it was something about marks from one of my finance subjects - but it wasn't like a high distinction.

Basically you are a group managing a forex dealing desk and you need to sell and buy aussie/usd with the aim of making a profit.
Our team initially was losing money as the guy who was doing buy/sell orders got a bit overwhelmed by the process of dealing and trading in the first session.
But the last two sessions we regrouped and we managed to make back the loss and go into profit. Hoping to take that experience in my real life portfolio now!
Anyone else here or outside you know got the call out?
However, I won't reveal too much what happens during the challenge and the roles each team member plays.
Won't be fair to other potential participants - and I beg anyone here not to spoil the details too. After all, it is a challenge!
