Study Notes:

The IBKR Student Trading Lab is a free, online offering for educators who are seeking to blend finance, or computer science coursework, with real-world trading experiences. Students participating in these instructor-led programs can reap the benefits from the lab’s long list of resources, including IBKR’s

Trading tools,
Available products,
Algos,
Reporting and analytics capabilities,
and more.

For example, did you know that the IBKR Student Trading Lab enables access to not only our flagship Trader Workstation trading platform, but also to our Client Portal, PortfolioAnalyst, Global Trader, and even our IBKR Mobile app – for those on-the-go, where you can easily trade, and check your account, right from your iOS or Android device?

In fact, educators and participants in the Student Trading Lab may enjoy several of the same benefits as our clients, including access to stocks, options, futures, currencies, and bonds, in both domestic and non-domestic markets across the globe – as well as a long list of different order types to help you execute any trading strategy – from limit orders to complex algorithmic trading – in a safe, simulated – paper trading – environment.

Through this course, we’ll introduce you to some real-world educators, who’ll give you their first-hand experiences with the Student Trading Lab – and how it’s served as not only a companion tool – but also as a critical part of how they construct their coursework and achieve their learning objectives.

They’ll also illustrate how the many features of the Student Trading Lab can complement classroom curricula – whether teaching, or participating, in a basic stock trading contest, for example, or creating an order to execute a basket of stocks using an API, or simply engaging with our tools and tutorials as an integral part of your traditional course work.

By the end of this course – if you’re an educator, or a student, who’s been considering taking advantage of IBKR’s tools to complement your learning, we’re sure you’ll want to get involved in our Student Trading Lab.
