Abstract
In this paper, I present a simulated trading project for the undergraduate Derivative Securities course which allows students to realistically trade both Futures and Option contracts. The project makes use of the Virtual Trading tool provided on the Chicago Board Options Exchange website, which processes virtual trades in real time using actual market data. Student response to the project's first implementation in Fall 2008 has been overwhelmingly positive. I provide Likert-style survey results describing students' perceptions of various aspects of the assignment, and identify directions for potential future modifications.
