    Starting FT at a market maker, recommended reading?

    Wow. Tough crowd ehh bbender? Sound like you will be starting with a market making firm that trades derivatives. My guess is mainly options.

    CBOE Clerk

    I still believe if you want it bad enough you can find a spot. The cme and cbot still have some very active options pits as well.
