S

Sorry for the short notice.....
The CME is having their 1st annual career expo THIS FRIDAY on the lower trading floor at the Exchange. You must sign up the following link ...

For all of you who have sent me PM's asking for introductions to Proprietary Trading Firms.....THIS IS YOUR OPPORTUNITY!!!!!!!!!!!!

I think the exhibitors will be mostly FCM and IB's, and arcades, but there will be a few prop groups recruiting as well.

If you are not a student...please indicate that on the registration form from CME website. You will still be allowed to attend.


I'll be at the FFastTrade booth if you want to stop by and introduce yourself.

In 1979 a neighbor suggested that I stop by the exchange to talk about a summer job: the summer job took me right through undergrad summers, got me a gig after undergrad while in grad school and today as an independent trader makes me a fantastic living in a business I truly enjoy - in addition to my other ventures.

If any of you want to find out more about the business it could well be worth your while to stop by this expo ....
For a perspective on what it was like in the earlier days of the IMM, Euro, and S&P markets read a few of Leo Melameds articles on his website leomelamed.com.

I still remember coming home from covered in chalk dust and having dreams of the open and close bells ringing and waking me up during the first few weeks of work .... Things have come a long way since then .....
 
Any idea which prop firms might be there ? Just wondering if these would be the "put up $10,000" type of prop firms, or more like the market-maker groups that might pay some type of salary. I looked at the website but couldn't find any lists of who's going to be there, but thought that maybe you might know.

The most desireable Prop firms probably do NOT have websites or any info about them...except for maybe DRW trading group, which does in fact have a website.

I do not have any information about which ones or how many true Prop firms will be attending.

Firms that require you to put up capital are not PROP groups, they are are Pro firms, by my definition

That was kind of my interpretation of the meaning of Prop firms, but sometimes here prop and pro are used interchangedly. If that's the case then I will probably try to be there on Friday.
