AbstractCommodity paper trading games are widely used to give students experience in trading. One weakness of these games is that there are no monetary and only minor emotional consequences resulting from the students' trades. To simulate actual trading more realistically, a Student Commodity Pool (SCP) was organized at Kansas State University. Twenty‐nine students contributed $100 each to a pool account, formed groups to research and present trade recommendations and then traded actual futures and options contracts. As an experiential learning method, most students gave the class high marks. Other instructors may be able to establish SCPs with approval from the Commodity Futures Trading Commission.
