bump for more info according to google their salary for assistant traders a few years was crap... is it still the case?

i think you can choose to put up 5k and get 100% payout

.006 per share for new hires

what position are you interviewing for? also, what's your experience and how'd you get that interview?

IluvVol: just curious, what was your phd in and what do you do currently? also, i recall your posting that you work in japan?

robbie: what's the commission/compensation structure like there?

Can you illustrate that with an example?

The IB TWS doesn't let me trade across exchanges. Does that mean I have to call in every time to make a trade? They seem to be the only one that offers foreign markets...

Let's say a company is cross-listed on two exchanges and there's a spread (after currency conversion) between the prices. How does someone profit from this? Is it possible to buy on one exchange and sell on the other? Or does he have to buy the 'cheaper' one and hope the prices converge?

hmm on a similar note: how does intermarket arbitrage work in stocks? can you buy on an exchange and sell on the other? or can you only buy the "cheaper" one and hope the prices converge?

If a company is listed on both the TSX and OTCBB, can I buy a share on one and sell on the other? Or does this only work with big exchanges?
