Hey all,
First time posting in the Trader's section. I just got a phone interview with Cheiron Trading. I've never gone through a trading interview (only banking) so I was wondering if anyone could help me out in what to expect, whether it is specific to this firm or trading in general.
Also, can someone give me a quick breakdown of interest rate futures and how those are traded?
Thanks!

Hey thanks for that. Unfortunately had already used the search function before posting this message so I was hoping that someone could provide me with new and up-to-date information. This would really help me out a lot. Thank you!
Cheiron Trading/Interest Rate Trading (Originally Posted: 10/19/2010)
I was offered a phone interview with Cheiron Trading and was curious if people had any insight on them.
Their website talks about interest rate options arbitrage. Trading futures contracts on interest rates and the bond market. Do they only trade interest rates and any insights on the focus of people who trade interest rates?
Please
same situation. Anybody with some knowledge to share?
A buddy of mine went through the process recently. He liked the people, but said that they are struggling to get the technology up to speed. They are migrating to Linux and ramping up sometime next year.
Do you have any prior trading experience or are you straight out of college? I think their junior trader role pays a base of $36K/year.
No futures trading experience, only equity research.
Had my phone interview with them. Apparently they're not just interest rate options arbitrage, they trade pretty much the entire futures market.
