I am only looking to lease a desk/office, I DO NOT need a broker/firm to trade through as I primarily trade OTC energy products.

I'm currently searching for for desk/office space in NYC. Basically all I need is a desk with high speed internet connections and the ability to hook up a few phone line(s). Downtown is ideal but I will consider other parts of the city as well. I AM NOT looking for a broker, clearing firm...

I've seen numerous comments posted here about NYMEX "needing" to go electronic and had a similar discussion this afternoon, with a friend (equity option trader for a fund), about it as well...I think that the major issue is that the majority of the people outside of the energy trading biz don't...

False. It amazes me how many people on this board think that you have to go to an Ivy League school to land a challenging role (not to be confused with back office) at a "top tier firm." Sure, it takes more time and effort if there's a state school on your resume but it definitely happens more...

I've seen this question asked many times and was once in your situation i.e average grades from a state school, little to no experience, etc... Several years ago I took an approach similar to the following: Find relevant contact names via industry associations, company websites, etc. For...

For an individual trader I can't make any specific suggestions but I would probably start with Refco, Man and RJ O'Brien. Regarding instant messaging orders, I doubt too many floor brokers allow it...

Why? Because if you sit around waiting to see a price hit a screen it won't happen. Too many months and too many strikes. Not to mention, locals aren't just sitting around quoting options for the sake of quoting. If you want to get something done the vast majority of the time you will have...

Make no mistake, you can bet the ranch that this guy has ZERO communication with the traders in Purchase, as well as the traders in London, etc. A couple of them may skim his research from time to time but that's the extent of it. The same can be said for 99% of the banks that trade energy.

The short answer is no, not now and not anytime soon. Good luck!

What prompted you to get short? Best of luck...

A little late but check out OilSpace, it's designed for the energies...
