Super day at the Marriott in Stamford.

Two groups, with reversed order schedules, involving:

Trading and negotiation sessions/exam in the morning or afternoon.
- a 45 minute trading simulation of basic buying low and selling high based on price movements on a single crude oil contract, news releases of various global events flashed on screen
- a 45 minute trading simulation in several crude oil grades and sources, again news info flashes across the screen
- a 45 minute negotiation and settlement team exercise to close out several open positions, positions differed among each team, proctors acted as brokers adding liquidity and shock to markets

They also tested the chemical balances (adrenaline/dopamine) of your body before and after the trading and negotiating exercises.

And slots of 45 minute 1 on 1 interviews, in several product areas (desks). Only one interview in this period, usually a trader or product manager.
