what do you trade ? stocks, futures, options ? You trade as part of a group, or individually ? Sorry for all the questions, but I used to work down there too. Was on the CBOE floor for 7+ years. Vega
Was in the building not on the floor. Cleared FOC. Started on the CBOE floor in 92 and then left in 95 though. I/we primarlily trade equities. Learning the futures game but the grass is always greener on the other side. As far as who I work for a group of us from left a firm downtown and started our own JBO about a two years ago. We did this to get our costs down. I will not disclose the name as I respect elite traders wishes about solicitation. As far as moving we did it this past July. Figured did not need a presence downtown and the majority of us(6) lived in the lincoln park area.
I'm still stuck in the Loop... But I actually enjoy working in it ... I don't deal with the social stuff so I'm pretty fine!
