Are the details up on any site? Also, is this related to that UBS competition that started a few weeks ago?

That other competition was the presentation one, I am pretty sure it is separate.

Any site for this mock trading competition? Just curious to know if this was also only available to USYD,UNSW,MELB etc.

I'm only in my second year.

They only told me time and place, can't find a website with any details.

Yeah, it was fun. The actual trading game was relatively simple, and the night was more of a recruiting gimmick. We had the chance to talk to UBS equity traders, which I found quite worthwhile.

However, I did expect much more people, there were only about 30 odd people, in a small conference room.
