The LME is delighted to collaborate with Commos on the HedgeTutor online education platform – a tool that offers the LME community an interactive learning experience for metals trading and price risk management.
About HedgeTutor
HedgeTutor is an interactive education platform that lets you learn at your own pace, in the way that works best for you. You will get to grips with theoretical concepts behind commodity trading and risk management with a library of tutorials available as videos, slides and written guides. Test your knowledge in each section and review case studies to apply these theoretical concepts to real situations.
You will then apply what you have learned with the hedging simulator, working through various scenarios and creating bespoke simulated scenarios to trade.
Three individual HedgeTutor subscriptions have been developed for the LME market.
