When I posted this item, the registration system showed 40 "available places" for students at the $100 rate.
Now that number has been reduced to 32.
Ergo, 8 students have signed up since Friday evening.
 
Come on Brad - you are not undergrad anymore... ;)

Let's call you... semi-grad
 
Going in I didn't know anything about microstructure, so it was good introduction and a good motivation to learn more. A lot of the things I've been thinking about (with regard to the Rotman trading competition) was discussed, like optimal order execution, micro-price, market making, etc.
