Does anyone on this site have any experience in high yield bond trading (or sales). If so, what is your opinion on the business and industry as a whole? Thanks.

Does anyone here know any probability problems/questions that involve options. For example, how much would you pay for the option to roll the dice one more time, pick another lottery ticket, etc. I have been looking for problems like this on the internet, but I am coming up short. Anything...

I have an interview with Susquehanna on friday and the lady on the phone told me to expect so "basic" probability problems. What types of questions should I expect? Also, how should I go about practicing for such questions? I would REALLY appreciate any information you guys can provide...

Does anyone out there know any trading firms that have good training programs? I am looking to work under smart people who want to invest in me as a trader and teach me what they know. I know that these might be hard to come by but I figured I would ask a captive audience such as anyone who...

Does anyone on ET work at Susquehanna capital? I have a few questions about the firm that I would like to PM you. Thanks for the help!

I am looking to build a screen that spits out stocks that are in basing patterns. I am a day trader, so I am looking to catch breakouts the moment they occur. I have had some success in trading this strategy, although I have to sort through a lot of unneccessary charts to find one's that I...

nihabaAshi, Thank you for your insight. As for my mentor, he does not work with us everyday in real-time. We have a 3 hour class a week and he is always willing and open to answer questions. Aside from this, everynight we hand in our daily p/l which he looks and comments on. Usually his...

The basic methodology we use is defined in our filters that bring up stocks based on technical info. At first I am only supposed to be trading these market inefficiencies. Obviously as we get better we are taught more stratregies/patterns but he wants to ease us into this game. Basically...

I have been trading at a NYC prop firm for about two months now. I know that many of you are probably thinking that I work in a shitty chop shop, etc, etc, but the reality is, I work for a good guy who trains all of us and acts as our mentor. That being said, my post has nothing to do any of...

Brandon, As I write, I am sitting at my new job as a prop trader in NYC. Trading for my second day ever!! The strategies that we implement here are "proprietary" (whatever that means) and by that I mean we use filters to help us find trades. As I am new, I am only supposed to focus on...

Why are you better off not going prop?
