I've read elsewhere that there is a $1,500 training fee (NYC WTS). Is this true?

Ideally, I tried to get into a shop which has a salary and good training, but I did not have much luck securing a position. Now I am looking at shops with no salary and in most cases a lesser reputation. Also, from what I have seen, the shops which offer salary seem to have a longer training...

Bump...Any other info on their NYC office? Thanks

Does anyone know? http://newyork.craigslist.org/mnh/acc/1027924033.html Thanks

Good points, NY0BScalper....I appreciate your thoughts

Would come off as "toolish" during the interview, yes? I understand what you are saying. If this interview did actually happen, what questions would you believe would be asked in that case? More general- Where is the Dow at? # of Job losses in Jan? What is Support/resistance? Or, if...

Damn, they just cancelled the whole trading class, apparently. I really liked what they projected and was very excited for this. Sadness

Hey, In two weeks, I have a prop interview where the firm explicitly notes that they will give, "Simple questions to test market knowledge." This is reasonable and a good thing. I am new to trading by most means, but I have done reading on simple market/trading aspects such as...

If I could add, somewhat related- During the interviews, do you want to project yourself as somewhat cocky? Or just very confident? I guess showing energy would be important as well. Also, I realize most of these places have a casual dress code. It shouldn't be an issue if I am wearing...

To be honest, I actually agree with what you said. Although I don't have that $$ now. I agree in that I think you learn the most when making mistakes yourself and following your own plan, learning from it, perfecting it. But as I said, I don't have 10k laying around and to be honest if I...

No worries, Tough Life. I wasn't responding to you, which I thought was obvious

Haha, it's true. In 10 years I want to be daytrading from home and hopefully doing well, no doubt on that. But I do doubt they want to hear that. Thanks for the replies

Hey guys, Mostly a reader of this forum and have learned a lot so far. Overall, I have been in a few prop interviews and have received this question: "Where do you see yourself in 2,5,10 years." I can't say I really know what type of answer they are looking for. In a banking sense...

Hi, Does anyone know what shop this is? Seems like it is rather unique writing/approach and I am thinking someone may have an idea. Thanks http://newyork.craigslist.org/mnh/acc/925238213.html "From an early age, we are all conditioned by our families, our schools, and virtually...

Beautiful, Kx...Thanks!

I should have phrased it better, MTE. I want to try it either way, whether it helps my cause or not. Thanks, Lucky...Any other suggestions are appreciated.

Hey guys, I don't actually know if this belongs here, but I have been on a few prop interviews and one of my issues (and interviewer's concerns) is that I have never spent a day actually pure trading from open to close. It is certainly something I want to do, to both test myself, see how I...

Thanks for the advice. GPA is 3.15. Just put the range there to give you all an idea. Either way I know that is too low for any banks, in most cases. Business school would be nice, but I wouldn't get into a good one until I had a few years of solid work experience, great GMATs, etc...

Hi, I graduated in May of this year with a degree in business/finance and have recently started to explore trading roles and my chances with them. I come from a NYC school that is not a huge target, but it is starting to earn more respectability on the street. GPA is between 3.10-3.30. I...
