This year is the ninth edition of the event and we are continuously aiming to recreate the atmosphere and environment of Wall Street's old fashioned trading floor involving shouted negotiation(stocks and options).

Therefore, we are expecting more than 400 participants to register that will have the opportunity to experiment the broker profession and that will, this year, have the chance to face expert teams throughout the event. 1, record 4, English, - Undergraduate%20Stock%20Exchange%20simulation
