Trading Game

“The Pandemonium Trading Game” is based on the financing, mining and distribution of a fictional metal, Pandemonium.  There are few rules and success requires little more than energy, enthusiasm, a basic idea of how supply and demand influence price and most importantly of all, an ability to take risk and strike bargains.  It is hosted by Paul Anderson (OL91) an alum of Leeds Grammar School who was a senior manager from Deutsche Bank’s Fixed Income and Currencies division and promises 90 minutes of educational mayhem.

This fun, lively and interactive session runs across both periods 3 and 4.
