A Commodity Market Simulation Game for Teaching Market Risk Management

Abstract

The Market Risk Game is a computerized simulation game available for IBM PC and Apple II microcomputers that is designed to give realistic practice in making decisions in a risky market environment. It illustrates the use of hedging and put options to reduce risk in livestock and grain markets. It is best suited for individuals who have a basic understanding of commodity trading, but who need experience to solidify their knowledge to a functional level. Through the game, this is done without facing the risk of an actual investment or requiring the time involved in watching a market over an extended period.
