Recap

Study Notes:

As you have seen through this course, educators of college-level finance courses can provide a real-world, hands-on trading experience for their students – of all skill sets – by taking advantage of our award-winning platforms, tools, and wealth of service offerings, including a vast array of educational tutorials – and all at no cost.

By participating in the IBKR Student Trading Lab, students can reap the benefits of our long list of resources – including innovative trading and analytics tools, available trading products, access to global markets, as well as an abundance of different order types and algos, customized reporting and risk management capabilities, and much more.

In fact, educators and participants in the Student Trading Lab may enjoy several of the same benefits as our clients, including the ability to trade and invest in stocks, options, futures, currencies, and bonds, in both domestic and non-domestic markets across the globe – from New York to London to Hong Kong – along with many others – all in a safe, simulated, paper trading environment.

Indeed, the resources available through the Lab can complement a host of different learning objectives – whether engaging in fundamental analysis, starting out as a market technician, improving charting skills, or diving deeply into computational finance and data science by, for example, creating orders to execute baskets of stocks using an API.

Never Stop Learning

And because we believe that smart investors never stop learning, students can access an entire online Campus of educational tutorials, where, among other learning opportunities, they can expand their experience with stepwise instructions on how to use our tools, or better familiarize themselves with equity, fixed-income, foreign exchange, and options-trading, as well as enjoy several other topics, including economics and monetary policy.

Visit the IBKR Campus and listen to a podcast, attend a webinar, keep abreast of daily market news, analyses, quant, and data science trends, and much more!

Moreover, the Student Trading Lab not only offers an extensive toolkit to complement fundamental, technical, and computational college classroom curricula, but also provides critical tools that can help educators and students analyze and manage their portfolios, perform custom reporting, as well as access specialized tools and services such as the Impact Dashboard and Investors’ Marketplace.
