Books/Research/Anything to help prepare me for Proprietary Trading job in New York?
Hi all,
I am a senior in college and I graduate in May. I am thinking of starting a position this summer at a few different reputable prop trading shop in New York. Does anyone recommend any books/research/articles/advice to read and prepare for before I start that have been in the prop trading career?
What are you gonna trade?
Purely Equities
Other recommendations are pretty decent. I don't know too much about the equity prop trading space. I was kinda under the impression that space is mostly occupied by HFT/algos.
A trader can never read enough. Read everything.
Chances are, lot of what's taught to you at the firm (especially in regards to primary strategies) will deviate from readings. I was in the same boat as you when I tried to read as much as possible before starting the job only to realize theory != real-life scenarios.
That being said, definitely does not hurt to read and it's always n
i interned at a options prop shop in college. They had us read Option Pricing and Volatility by Sheldon Natenberg and Thinking Fast and Slow by Danny Kahneman.
