Group Trading Game
For an upcoming interview I have a group trading exercise. My understanding is that there will be multiple fruits and a group of candidates as market makers.
I have seen similar posts to this on WSO however I can't seem to find anything that explains how this game will actually unfold or what strategies might be advantageous.
Thanks in advance!

- How do you stop being butthurt and emotional in this business?Do any of you cry if your MD/PM yelled at you for screwing up, or coming late, etc.?

I should also mention I have been using the Oxyor trading simulator for practice however I am still lost for how this will relate or any specific strategy to go for (how to play).
I actually know this game. Not through some interview but through a real game show. Very interesting game and there's definitely a way to win.
