Learn financial markets
by doing.

EduMarkets teaches financial markets the way practitioners think about them. The learning platform covers foundations, the major asset classes, derivatives and risk, through in-depth handbooks, interactive pricing tools, guided challenges and structured learning journeys. Three trainer-led classroom simulations cover market making, hedge fund portfolio management and bank asset and liability management.

The learning platform

You work through the modules at your own pace, guided by a learning journey tailored to your role.

The simulations

A trainer runs each session for your group. Depending on the simulation, participants take part individually or in teams.

How you learn

Every module follows the same progression: from reading to practice to active testing.

01

Read or Listen

In-depth handbooks covering theory, market conventions, and instrument mechanics. Every module has one, available to read or as audio.

02

Practice

Interactive pricing tools to build curves, value instruments, analyse Greeks and other risk metrics, and construct portfolios. The same models used on institutional desks.

03

Test

Guided challenges build estimation skills: estimate outputs before revealing answers. Exercises with AI grading across every asset class.

04

Progress

Structured learning journeys tailored to your needs and role, starting knowledge levels and desired learning outcome. Track what you have covered and what comes next.

Built by practitioners, for how markets actually work

Three things that set EduMarkets apart from textbook training and other e-learning providers.

22 modules
Across asset classes

Reflects how markets really work

Every module covers how practitioners think about products, not how textbooks frame them: market conventions, instrument mechanics, and the workflows traders, risk staff, and analysts use day-to-day. A dedicated Hedge Funds module covers strategies, pod structure, prime brokerage, and central risk for buy-side context.

100+ tools
Using actual data

Learn by pricing real trades

Participants price bonds, FX, futures, options, interest rate derivatives, CDS, and exotics using the same mechanics as the desk, with live curves, cross-asset VaR, and sensitivities analysis. No market data licence, no installation.

AI-graded
Feedback on every exercise

Feedback that walks through every result

Every pricer has an AI-powered explanation that talks through the numbers. Exercises across every asset class are graded with detailed feedback. Real trades and market episodes work through as case studies.

Pricing to Risk in One Platform

Portfolios that are built across modules (bonds, swaps, options, CDS) can be imported into the Market Risk module for unified VaR, stress testing, and scenario analysis. Participants experience the full front-to-risk workflow without leaving the platform.

Available modules

From markets fundamentals to derivatives and risk. Each module pairs an in-depth handbook with interactive tools and guided practice.

Risk & Participants

Trainer-led simulations

Request a demo

The simulations are hands-on classroom sessions built to learn by doing. A trainer sets the scenario and the difficulty of the session. Each participant makes decisions, individually or in teams. Each simulation has a brochure with more information below.

Built for anyone serious about understanding financial markets

Finance professionals

Follow a learning journey tailored to your role, at your own pace. AI-powered explanations break down any result on demand. When your firm runs a training programme, the three trainer-led simulations sit alongside the platform for the classroom sessions.

Training providers

Onboard participants and assign learning journeys in minutes, then control which modules participants see in each session and track progress live. Book any of the three simulations as a trainer-led session.

Students & academics

Work through in-depth handbooks and guided challenges, and price real instruments across every asset class. Progression runs from the fundamentals up to derivatives and risk. A trainer-led simulation can run as a capstone session for the class, with teams competing in one shared market.

Common questions

Who is the platform for?

The learning platform is for anyone in or around financial markets, at any experience level: traders and analysts, structurers, risk and treasury staff, operations and technology, supervisors and regulators, students and academics. Students and academic staff at an educational institution can apply for a reduced academic price.

What does the subscription include?

The subscription includes access to the learning platform for one person: the handbooks, the pricing tools, the exercises, AI Explain, and a single-player version of the market making simulation. The three trainer-led simulations, Market Making, Hedge Fund and Bank ALM, are separate classroom sessions with their own pricing.

How are the trainer-led simulations booked?

A session is arranged through the Contact us button. A trainer sets the scenario, the difficulty and the length of the session. Participants take part on their own laptops, individually or in teams, in one shared market. The trainer-led simulations can be booked without a subscription to the learning platform.

Where does the market data come from?

Government bond curves and macro data are pulled from public sources: FRED, the BIS, the World Bank, and central-bank websites. Swap curves are built from the live government curve plus a spread. Equity and FX volatility surfaces are indicative. The prices and news headlines in all simulations are synthetic.

What does AI Explain do?

AI Explain reads the numerical inputs and outputs of a pricer and explains them in plain words. It says which input drives which output, what the sign of a number means, and how big or small a number is for the trade.

What devices does the platform work on?

The interactive pricing tools work best on a desktop or a laptop screen. The handbooks, the exercises and AI Explain work on any device.

Is there an academic price?

The academic price is EUR 45 a month, or EUR 405 a year. Students and academic staff at an educational institution qualify. The application is made at signup, with evidence of the affiliation. An approval is valid for twelve months.

Do you offer team or enterprise licences?

Training providers, universities and companies can get an enterprise licence for a group of participants. Pricing depends on the number of users and the length of the licence. If you are interested in an enterprise licence, get in touch with us through the Contact us button.

How do renewals and cancellation work?

The monthly plan renews every month. The annual plan renews every year. A subscriber cancels in the account settings, under Subscription. Access continues until the end of the billing period already paid for. Consumers in the EU or the EEA can withdraw within fourteen days of signing up. The refund is then reduced by a proportional amount for the days of access already used.

How is invoicing and VAT handled?

All prices are in Euros and are shown at checkout. An individual paying from outside the Eurozone sees their local currency equivalent. Payment on a personal subscription is by card, handled by Stripe as merchant of record. The charge on the statement appears as LINK.COM. The price includes VAT and any local tax where it applies. An enterprise licence is paid in Euros by invoice.

About

EduMarkets was founded by Robert van Loon after more than a decade on trading floors at ABN AMRO, APG Asset Management and Goldman Sachs. Since moving into training full-time, he has delivered financial markets training to institutions including Citadel, Bank of America, BNP Paribas, Brevan Howard, Morgan Stanley and Rokos Capital Management. The platform turns that experience into tools participants can use during a course and long after it ends.
