The FTS Case Teaching Method
Designed to fit into and complement standard investments or managerial finance courses,

The FTS case teaching method has three phases:

Phase I: Teach the concepts in the traditional way

Phase II: Assign an FTS case to your class. Each case poses a trading problem. The trading problem is designed so students can apply the concepts when formulating their trading strategy in the FTS trading session. The trading results let you gauge their understanding.

Phase III: Reinforce concepts by following the trading session with classroom discussion and case solution. The instructor’s guide provides complete solutions and teaching notes.
