Trade blowing up in your face
For those of you who have had a trade blow up in your face, im assuming most of you, have you used this in an interview to explain how you used it as a learning experience, etc. or do you avoid this because it eludes to you picking shit companies?
Just curious to see if anyone has spun this into an interview positive
I try to avoid it unless that is the direct question asked. However, I imagine if you had a good spin to it that it might be ok -- that being said, I wouldn't go to a HF or PE interview and talk about how you've really learned a lot from losing money.
Personally I think losing trades are the most instructional because they illustrate so much about a person as a trader. There are a million individualized solutions, answers and issues but you can absolutely spin it into a positive. I wouldn't advise the London Whale to use it, but I think you can use individualized experiences to show the way you react to trades, etc. I mean being on the losing side of a trade is similar to the effects of alcohol in that it really brings out the worst or the best of your personality. It exacerbates both aspects. So certainly I would think that you can spin it in an interview, as long as you are honest regarding it.
