Fishing Job Adverts

Recommended Posts

fishing_adverts.jpg

 

There are many professional trading firms. Yet, few of us will be able to meet their stringent requirements. However, that doesn't mean that we can't learn something about their methods by studying their job advertisements.

 

True, some that these methods may not be suitable for the average retail trader. Even so, there may be something to learn from a close inspection of their job advertisements. I'm not going to reveal any of the firms but all information was gathered from their public job postings.

 

Below are some of the keywords from my latest fishing expedition:

 

Liquidity Provider (many times)

Eurodollar calendar spreads, butterflies, condors, packs and bundles

Fixed Income

Excel, C#, Statistical packages such as MATLAB

Market Making

Relative Value Arbitrage

Volatility Trading

Fundamental

Derivatives

Market micro-structure

Tick data

Automated trading strategies

Order flow analysis

Tick data analysis

Signal processing

Machine learning

Co-location

Strategy modeling building

Data mining

Back-test

Statistical methods

Analyzing and optimization

Options market making

Automated and manual execution strategies

Market make

Manage and optimize a portfolio

Patterns

Models

FX options books

Derivatives pricing and hedging tools

Managing a portfolio

High frequency trading systems

Adjust parameters based on market conditions

Treasury Yield Curve

Overnight Bond Market

Treasury market and yield curve

Economic news/fundamental news and Treasury yield curve

Probability/Regression analysis

Treasury cash products/futures

 

Finally, I thought I'd highlight a few of the keywords that most interested me:

 

Order flow analysis

Tick data analysis

Treasury market and yield curve

Relative Value Arbitrage

High frequency trading systems

Strategy modeling building

Market micro-structure

Analyzing and optimization

---------

 

These key words will help to guide me as I explore new strategies and think about the markets and the various market participants.

Interesting and somewhat overwhelming. I've been trading for over two decades, and currently managing a fund, and I still don't "get" half the list of required skills. So, don't be intimidated.
