Akuna Capital Jr. Trader phone Interview.. what to expect?

Hey Guys,

After clearing math-sequence test and personality test. I have my next round phone interview with trader (may be technical round) next week. What should I be expecting? Anyone who had their phone interview with Akuna capital for Jr. Trader role, your insight would be of great help. Also, let me know where can I prepare for jr. trader interview and what are the concepts /topics/skills I should prepare for?

Thanks in advance!

Check this out. "from my vague memory...probably something like the following:

what does it take to be a good trader? (cant remember..something related to how you perform under pressure perhaps?) list of math problems to solve (more complicated math...maybe like 1/2 * 5/2 + 7/3) easier math problems (on the screen, you just read out your answer basically) 1 probability question (maybe like whats a better bet, heads $5, tails -2$, or rolling a die and you get x.5 the value of the die. Now what would you need the pay out of them to be if they were to be equal in expected value)"
