The Program | Instructor

CTC recognizes that trading involves both science and art. Accordingly our education program strives to bridge the gap between financial theory and market reality. Through a series of formal classes, our trainees learn the science of trading – i.e., the quantitative underpinnings of financial markets. Such classes include:

• The basics of options and futures
• Introduction to interest rate products
• Advanced options and complex derivatives

In conjunction with our formal classes, our trainees learn the art of trading – how to apply the theoretical constructs of derivatives trading to the real world functioning of the market.

• Our mock trading program allows aspiring traders to test their abilities in a simulated trading environment.
• Advanced seminars taught by senior trading personnel provide further opportunities for trainees to learn about practical application of derivatives theory.
• On the job training as a contributing member of trading team allows trainees to simultaneously apply their new knowledge and hone their market skills.
