Market Maker: Example Cases
Market Maker Case Builder is a case-based financial markets simulator used to train traders to trade and execute strategies in a realistic market environment.  The Case Builder is a unique, user-friendly tool that can be used to modify existing cases or build new cases.  These cases will compliment the subject material being taught and "make theory come to life".  The Case Builder allows you to draw price paths which are used by virtual trading participants as well as define a number of parameters.  In designing fixed income cases the Case Builder allows you to create interest rate paths and display yield curves in real-time.  Option price paths can be generated by using built in pricing formulas such as Black-Scholes.

Market Maker Case Builder comes pre-packaged with a number of cases you can use immediately.  Each case comes complete with case descriptions, case objectives, key terms, and theoretical backgrounds.
