Would love to get in touch if anyone is trading out on the east coast of Canada?

Not that crazy. Deutsche put out a piece the other day calling for 50 bps of easing by first quarter 08.

Looks like their little experiment backfired. The actions of the BoE over the past few weeks has been Very embarrasing. I'm looking for someone to make me good odds on Lomax being the next in charge. Worth a punt!!

Huh???????

Hahah!

Some of the larger players will hire Junior execution traders and junior middle office staff. eFinancialCareers may help you out.

Not ALL futures are executed on a first come, first served basis!

should read 'higher/lower in seconds' obviously.

Agreed, when some institutions/players give or pay you, you know you need to reverse as soon as possible or you will be wearing the trade 10-20 points higher in seconds. Very difficult to do!

It's funny to see how many people think dealers at a bank make most of their money from quoting customers. In my role as a dealer, 90% of my profits come from taking prop positions. This is also the same situation for most of the dealers within the same role in London. If you think all dealers...

All this talk about back-office men and women not being able to break into the front-office is totally false. On my desk, there are 7 people who began their career in ops or other functions of the bank, including the director of trading. If you are naturally bright and show alot of determination...

If anyone wants to know what FNYS is like, just message me. I worked in their London office!

Hey, I am interested as to whether there are any quality firms hiring traders in Canada. I am looking for those that pay a salary as well as a bonus. Most likely these are going to be the banks, but I am curious whether others are structured in a similar way.

Would you not be at risk to movements in Eur/GBP as what you have done is created a long position in sterling and a short position in the Euro.

They just get in and out for quick ticks holding positions for just a few seconds only. Just reading the order book.
