Wanted to discuss what skill sets are important to equity traders specifically those involved with flow trading. See a lot of emphasis on this site about prop trading thought it would be good to start a thread about flow trading. So what makes a good flow trader?
I work on a flow desk but I wanted to hear everyone else's thoughts before I posted my own.
knowing people at FUNDZ to get they digitsssssssss so you can holla for that flow yoooo
Ha.
Three words: Sociable, Personable and BSD.

While you guys are on the subject does anyone care to share any general words of advice for first year S&T analysts starting next summer? You know a heads up and what not.
advice for the new guys - first in, last out. Can I give you a hand? put your personal cellphones, etc away. Work should be your priority. Think proactively, write up notes from calls/meetings you attended, but members of your team couldn't and distribute to your team. Network (during appropriate times). Pay attention to the details, booking tickets, confirming trades back to clients...details, details, details! Think of ideas and be proactive with them.
^^ much appreciated. There is a ton of how to get into BBs and then into PE/HFs on WSO but very little about what it takes to do your job well. Thanks for the input.
Can you post your thoughts OP? Not sure if you posted them somewhere else. Thanks.
