EduMarkets Intro to Markets

An introduction to how the financial system fits together. The module covers who takes each side of a trade and why, how products differ from one another, the difference between exchange and over-the-counter execution, and the role clearing houses play. It builds the mental model before the pricing and risk modules that follow.
