Pandemonium - Trading Game for Economics/ Business Students
2026-06-24 10:30 - 12:30 | Abingdon School
At first glance, The Trading Game sounds like it’s about numbers. It isn’t.

It’s a fast-paced, live strategy simulation where the world shifts in real time and you have to decide what to do next. Markets move, global events unfold and your judgement is what counts.
This isn’t about being good at maths. It’s about reading situations, thinking clearly when things change, and backing your decisions. The students who thrive are often the ones who stay calm, adapt quickly and trust their instincts. Psychology matters as much as logic. Timing matters as much as theory.

You don’t need prior economics knowledge. You don’t need to see yourself as a “finance person.” What you do need is curiosity, confidence and a willingness to test yourself.
If you enjoy debate, problem-solving, teamwork, or simply want to see how you respond when the stakes rise, The Trading Game might be exactly your kind of challenge.

Come and find out. Students from OX14 LP schools are invited to attend. Sign up information will be shared soon.
