Ask a floor trader anything

Are there any humans left or are they just extras?

what do you ACTALLY do on the floor?

You’re partially right, jobs have been decreasing, and much of it is automated. However, trust me, there’s still blokes on the floors at any given time. Just not as much as you think there are with everyone on cocaine and yelling at each other.

what is your name and age? where do you live?

Do you think it's weird you can identify human vs algo trades in the tape simply by subpenny rounding?

How many millions do you make every year?

How shitty is it?

Being on the floor isn’t too different from the office, still mostly just executing buy orders. I’m on the floor to be exposed to every single little piece of data that might help me make an informed descision on how to rip my client off.

He's in Canada. Even if he's clearing 1 million, it's like $3.50 USD.

Is IEX going to change the rest of the exchanges? The 350 microsecond delay kills the front running hfts

what do you know about big players and the future of crypto?

How fucked are we?

I am restricted from giving this kind of advice, however, I can tell you I myself do not have any crypto holdings.

Total Market Index through Vanguard. Drop 10k in it and ignore the Admiral Shares fund.

>exposed to every single little piece of data

don't you get less data there than you would in an office or at home?

If you're restricted from telling anons on a Urdu Camel mane decoration forum, you're full of shit.

If you were me, how should I invest $50,000 in this day and age?

No, but I can still certainly work adequately from the office and at home.

Are we in bad shape or heading into bad territory withthe current drops in the DOW?

How's China looking?

kek thanks for outing yourself you larping faggot

No, dumbass, I can’t. At least where I am from, this profession is licensed and we are bound to certain regulations.

based and redpilled

Market fluctuations are completely normal. Don’t be alarmed.

Checked

Are you a kike?

Haha so your larp has you tied to Canada

Which Canadian exchange has a fucking floor in 2018?

Are you long on Bluestar?

I am not the best guy to give career advice, but the best buy side opportunities go to investment bankers.

No

What are your opinions on kikes?

Don’t like working for ‘em. The top guy in my line made $400-600k and he has a do-nothing job.

>400-600k

Last year*.

For private equity, sure, but from my understanding researchers get solid exit ops into hedge funds and top asset managers. I think private equity is a massive leverage bubble that will collapse in the next 10 yrs, so I don’t really want to get into it.

That sounds very comfy

Why the fuck are you guys screwing up tech stocks?!?!?!

But you are Joan?

I agree with the other guys, you're not a trader. You would certainly have understood the reference.

Do you use drugs?

Not smart enough to answer.

No, and the hollywood depiction that everyone is doing cocaine is mostly bullshit.

Do you wake up at night in a panic but can’t move your body and there’s a demon in the corner of the room getting ready to do unspeakable acts upon you?

Yeah, leafs snort dried up maple syrup

Weird phrasing "come down south". Who says that if they are north? You say that if you are already south.

>due to my access to insider information.

get fucked... what insider information?

what floor do you trade on?

what "insider information" does an options trader on the floor have anyway?

Where would the money go were there to be a service sector collapse? As in, people would just buy the barest of essentials (food, heating, gas etc no new ohones or anything) in most Western countries so it looked similar in scale to the Chinese service sector.

are traps gay?

HFT algos don't front run, no one is stopping anyone from splitting an order and executing it intelligently.... there isn't any magical process by which you can hit a bid or offer at a specific venue and have some algo jump in front of you

God this happens to me a lot

How much TRST.TO do you own?

If I understand your question correctly though, if people are just buying the most minimum things needed to live, they would just keep the rest of their money, wouldn’t they?

Where did I say that?

Is day trading a meme?

Don’t have any holdings.

It’s not what you should do if you wanna see gains in the long run.
