  1. If you want to be a trader, Food is the right answer. Look out for yourself. Take advantage of someone else's misfortune.

    Nitro and Mecro are right. Food.

  4. my friends and I have used GHCO for our own accounts. I have no bad things at all to say about them. Very professional firm. Ed Brown and John Demartino (co-directors of customer trading) are top notch to deal with IMHO.

    Also, I know some software vendors who deal with all the futures firms. When asked for their opinions, I have never had one say anything bad about GHCO. It would probably be a great place to do prop, but is very hard to get into I hear. Good luck.

    Been in their offices to present our software a few times and met most of people mentioned in this thread. The one person not mentioned that we have dealt the with most is David Ortiz. He heads up their electronic trading division and has been good to work with so far. I think he is the guy who oversees the prop traders, as he has sat in on the class we taught their traders and seems to be the guy we have to go through to have our software used by their traders.

  6. After two weeks and no call-back , it looks like I didn't get the position as a bond trader trainee. I think an Ivy League education is what will get your foot in the door. State Uni doesn't pull much weight with these guys.

    Maybe I answered the turtle in the desert question wrong ? LOL

    If any of you guys got hired, post what you said on the interview. I'm just curious what the their 'standard model' for a trader is :)

  8. My past experience with Ralph Goldenberg & Chris Hehmeyer is that they care much more about a person's "intangibles" than they do a "pedigree", i.e. where your diploma came from. Education has always been a poor predictor of trading success, and they're smart enough to know that.
    Question: Have you been sitting on your butt waiting for the phone to ring, or have you been pestering the crap out of them for the job?
