The Currency Year
Your decisions. A real market year.
Try our Finance Director FX Simulation game: Step into the chair of a UK FD, set a budget rate, choose a hedging programme and live through twelve months of a real market year from the last decade, then see how your decisions held up against what rates actually did.
The year stays hidden until the end. See how your FX decisions play out.
About three minutes. Real historical rates.
The game uses historical daily closing rates and simplified hedges priced at spot without forward points. It does not model all spreads, fees, credit or liquidity constraints. Results are illustrative: past market years do not predict future rates or whether a hedging strategy would suit your business. This is not advice.
