The competition is situated within a virtual dealing room, created by connecting computers. Each computer represents the desk of a trader, behind which you have access to news, phone linkes and graphs of the traded securities.

The pre-rounds are held locally at one of the listed universities. During the qualification round you'll put quotes in, make markets for brokers, trade, buy, sell, hedge, hack and adjust prices. After the session you will receive the results; you might be one of the day winners to go to the Final on the 8th of December at Euronext Amsterdam.
The winner not only gets the title of the best student trader of The Netherlands, but will also obtain two tickets around the world!

The Traders Trophy Netherlands is sponsored by Optiver and organised together with Oxyor and the Study Associations FSA, FSR, FS Focus, Risk, Asset Accounting & Finance, Christiaan Huygens and Nyenrode. Contact your local study association to sign up for the Traders Trophy.

This years' competition is set to be the most exciting yet! The best student traders of The Netherlands can earn themselves a place in the world final in Spring 2012. During this final all national winners of the participating nations compete against each other to acquire the world title.
