As the Singapore Mercantile Exchange is launching today with testing it's systems through mock trading, I thought it was appropriate to upload these photos of SIMEX traders mock trading and learning how to function in the pit with a trip to Chicago and the CME back in 1984. The CME gave SIMEX, now called SGX, a guiding hand in it's founding and much of SIMEX was based upon how the CME functioned. All photos are from the SunTimes archive which I purchased and own as displayed below, click on the photos or notes on reverse to enlarge.
