Is anyone else attending the UBS Mock trading game in sydney on tuesday night? I don't really know how the evening is actually run, so any information would be appreciated.

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.

[ks21]

I had to send in the works. Cover Letter, Resume and Academic Transcript.

i'll be there tonight. same boat as you though, no idea what is going to happen. simulated trading experience in 2 hours maybe?

sikevo, its for final and penultimates from what the flyer said

 

[Exeter]

well that was kinda fun tonight. great food too!

 

[theone123]

so how was the fun people?

 

[ks21]

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.

yeh i was going home on the train and i thought to myself..what the hell was that! no prizes for the "game", more than half the time boasting about UBS numbers

so who were you?
i was one of the guy that had to eat all those chocolates :wave:
