Master Trader...or not

SBS have released a 'game' for all accepted students onto the MBA and MFE. The name of the game is 'Oxford Master Trader 2006' and the object of the exercise is to take your starting capital (of $10,000,000) and grow it as much as possible before the 1st of September.

Luckily, whilst the market data comes directly from the LSE, NYSE etc and is accuarte, the money is only make-believe and so there aren't 225 students loosing $2.25 billion of Oxford's money.

I have just spent my first day trading and despite falling into a negative position early on, managed to close up...go Starbucks and ICICI Bank.

The system is excellently designed and very easy to use. The attached screen shot shows the trading page (which I have doctored to spare my blushes).
