What Excel functions do I need to know for Trading Assistant/Market Support Analyst role?
Hi all, this is my first post. Forgive me if this qn has already been asked.
I'm looking to apply for a jobs as Market Support Analyst and Trading Assistant/Assistant Trader at a trading firm.
The job requires me to be an intermediate user of Excel, including knowing how to process, analyze and present data.
This is the job scope if it helps:
- Providing first level support and control for trading desks
- Validating contracts between trading desk inputs against external sources
- Monitoring irregular trading transactions i.e. late bookings, amendments or cancelled trades without justification etc.
- Tracking month to date deals for cost reporting
- Monitoring the feeding of electronic executed trades for fail trades including application uptime
- Assist in trade life cycle event management such as exercise, fixing, expiry, early termination etc.
- Tracking for corporate actions and event driven scenarios
- Assisting in queries and issues raised by internal or external stakeholders i.e. accounts, finance, brokers etc.
- Assisting in amendment or cancellation of booking when as required
- Performing end-of-day reconciliation between external sources and system inputs
- Performing end-of-trade day session reporting for trade statistics
- Managing documentation and administration for business processes
I haven't been using Excel in years because I was in a different industry that didn't require it.
What Excel functions do you recommend I learn for the job?
