TDP live trading exercise.

Made final stage for one of the major’s TDP, it consists of an AC then the next day there is an online “live” trading exercise that lasts for two hours. 
 

How the bloody hell would you prepare for this. Coming into the program as a graduate I have no experience with live energy trading. Is there any online resources that could help preparation for this??

Also unrelatedly, if you were to start as a grad in trading analytics is it common to be able to transition to a role as a trader?
