Danske Commodities is a data-driven energy-trading company that executes more than 35,000 trades a day. On the 22 April, you have the opportunity to participate in a trading game at Danske Commodities’ office, where you will discover what working as an energy trader involves.During the game you will be working in a team of up to 3 students. Through economic intuition, teamwork and decision-making you must trade your way to victory in real time. Outside of providing great entertainment as you spend the day with fellow students, this is a chance not to be missed, as it could potentially open doors to a new career path!
Although you might not have any experience with trading, we urge you to participate to learn during the process. The event will start out with a short lecture on the basics of trading that explains in practice how you can buy and sell power in real-time based on simulated information and this should leave you well-equipped for the game. Being familiar with programs such as R, Python or MatLab might be advantageous, but by no means necessary.
To apply yourself for this opportunity to grow your skill set, have an awesome day with DC and potentially win great prizes, you will have to apply through facca.dk no later than the 15th of April.
Please also inform us whether you are applying as a team, simply by uploading a document with your team name and the names of all your team members under "Other", or let us know if we should instead match you with 1-2 other applicants. Please note that there is a limited number of 30 seats available and seats will be assigned on first come first serve basis.
If you are currently employed at a competing energy trading company, please inform FACCA by submitting a document describing your experience under “Other”.
