This year’s CME Trading Challenge took place in February and both Illinois ACE teams placed in the top 50 teams in the contest, which granted them the opportunity to compete in the Final Round of the competition! The CME Group’s Trading Challenge is a complimentary four-week electronic trading competition where students can trade CME Group products. The contest challenges teams of graduate and undergraduate students from around the world to participate in a simulated trading environment and ranks them based on their profitability. Congratulations to the two 2015 Illinois ACE teams which consisted of:

Team one: Lily Chen, Matt Durbin, Paul Foote, Zhiling Lin, and Marty O’Connor

Team two: Fernanda de Barros Dias, Hector Hernandez, and Zhepeng Hu

Congratulations and way to represent orange and blue with an incredible performance!
