NYC trading firms hiring?

Quote from NYNY:

...Don't contact Hitman(no offense) he wants you in his team so he can take some profit for himself. Who needs a middleman(unless he is going to teach you something but this is rarely the case)...

I was under the impression that all newbies had to trade under a "team leader" at Worldco...

Since Hitman's name came up, I'd like to announce that in addition to Don's Opening Order strategy and his usual discretionary trading, Hitman has decided to add systems trading to his arsenal!! He is currently deciding on Wealth-Lab vs. Tradestation and will soon be joining the ranks of the system traders! (at least for part of his trading)

Who would've thunk it?

Quote from The Knight:

You're probably right Def,

What do I know?
I just live here in the US (not overseas) and trade (day in and day out) for a living.
I, along with others, get frustrated when the ISE cuts the market, (holding me to their better price since we are on the national best/bid offer system) and then won't trade it with at least 100 contracts.
It finally got to the point where the crowd wouldn't trade on their illusionary markets. Frequently, brokers enter the crowd to fill their public order at the illusionary ISE better price, and when we tell them that the market is bullshit and that it is not where we are, they try to go away and get filled on the ISE. RARELY WILL THE ISE TRADE THEIR MARKET, THEY WILL FADE, NOT TRADE.
It makes everyone look bad - the customer thinks that we are trying to screw them and fade. They may blame the broker because "the market was there before, you took too long to execute the order, etc."

It is not easy being a floor broker - although in the past you were well compensated for your troubles: I've participated and listened to this debate in one form or another since I started at the merc in 1979: I watched the fills in the heyday of the Gold pit at the merc and during the first trading days at the IOM: I watched the vacuum of the 1987 crash on the floor of the merc.

A good and trusted floor broker in a viable market will treat you better than an automated system IMHO. However I think that the exchange competition (primarily from electronic systems) will continue to modify the duties of current floor brokers over the next several years. .... adapt earlier than later and you should be fine .....
 
oops..Didn't realize this post is that old. I didn't read the whole thread.

If your still around hope your making some dough
