    Trillium Trading

    I came across this prop shop that pays a salary, 500/wk = 26K/year. Basically in line with an entry-level clerk position. I was just wondering if there was any new or relevant information regarding this company. The existing posts date back to 2003-2004. Thanks!

    i broke; i QUIT

    How do they get away with transporting the diamonds to the US? I'm just assuming there is some sort of regulation against moving large amounts of diamonds, at least a tariff, from Iraq to the US. It's just an assumption, I'm not an expert in international trade?

    I have an interview upcoming with a trading group (not prop) and was wondering what type of questions to expect and any advice/hints as to what they might be looking for. I should say that this is just a screening interview so I assume there will be more after this. Thanks for any help!

    Credit Risk Management

    Can someone explain how this department relates to the other departments in a typical Investment Bank? I'm assuming this is more of a 'middle' office type position? Do you work closely with traders or are they seperate? What is the typical career progression for someone in this department...

    Spread Charting

    From the little bit that I know, options have been a better way to spread commodities as long as there's not a lot of time premium. Take the HUG/HOG spread: If your long Unleaded, short heating oil, the worst thing that can happen in a spread is Unleaded goes down, heating oil goes up. With...

    Spread Charting

    I wanted to look at the spread between XAU vs. Gold futures. Most of the free spread charting I've been using (futuresource, Brite) can't do these charts, only spreads between commodities.
