Trainee Trader Interview Questions

11,682 trainee trader interview questions shared by candidates

The interview started with a junior trader about programming in VBA and C++. Then I had two phones interviews with the senior traders. Basic finance questions about various financial derivatives ( options, credit, rates, bonds ...), B&S model and Greeks, getting more difficult and technicals but a good sign that you know your basics. Some maths and stats questions about Stochastic Calculus, Brownian motion. No Brainteaser but I have been asked some economic questions about the current market and where should I invest.

The players have to place their coins face down on the table (no overlapping or moving coins existent on the table is allowed), one after each other. The last player to put a coin on the table wins. Would you want to be first or sencond ? Explain your strategy.
