Prop shop from Canada.(bank).need help

Batrick Pateman — Wed, 27 Feb 2008 18:45:18 -0500

got interview with biggest canadian prop shop (bank).
I trade equities on my own account, and have a proven track record and good risk-mngmt.

What can i expect? i dont trade futures, or FX. Would this be a problem if they DO? (in the sense that im not used to futures vol). I use TA alot, but also fundamental, macro view...a balanced mix...
