Learning about the practical roles that come with the simulation. I liked that some of the tasks didn't go too far on definitions and financial jargon, leaving me to have to research and learn more about certain things on my own, in turn expanding my knowledge of markets and trading as a whole, being something I value highly.

I liked how realistic the scenarios felt, especially the interaction between the auditor and client. It helped me understand how small phrasing choices can impact the quality of information gathered. The step-by-step format made it easy to reflect on mistakes and learn best practices in a practical way rather than just theory.
The four tasks build one continuous thread - the FOMC preview sets up the weekly recap, the recap forces a market view, the view drives the trade pitch, and the hedging task then tests whether you understand the risk of what you just recommended. Being handed raw price data and an anonymised client flow log rather than a summary was the most realistic part.
