What is a "Dealer Desk" ???

Discussion in 'Professional Trading' started by BosyBillups, Jun 8, 2008.

  1. Job opportunity asking experience on a prop desk, hedge fund, or "dealer desk."

    I'm assuming this means Broker Dealer trading, but does anyone know for certain?

    deal desk means that broker firm is a bucket shop

    so that when an honest customer sends an order your way, you instead of completing the order you try to screw your customer by re quoting


    and you never ever tell your customer that 95% lose because at your broker firm its all just a virtual reality game anyway

    and 5% that starts to win is kicked out by other means and account closed

    you do it by shuting down feed, by making HUGE reqotes etc ect

    many ways

    I hope this has been enlightening for you
