I'm going to start a new job in equity DA and I am interested in any sources (websites, books) that could give me any relevant insight regarding the day to day activity of equity derivatives traders. Thank you in advance for your help. |

These books helped me out a lot when I first started. 1. Pit Bull: Lessons from Wall Street's Champion Trader Author: Dave Morine 2. Stock Market Wizards: Interviews with America's Top Stock Traders Author: Jack D. Schwager 3. Reminiscences of a Stock Operator: The Wall Street Classic about the Life & Times of Jesse Livermore |

No books will help you. Just be quick on your feet and use common sense. |

they really don't expect you to know shit, so as the previous post says, be quick on your feet and be ready to be someone's bitch for a while. |

Hey, Another book that will do you some good is by Eugene A. Kelly, CFA, "For What It's Worth". Apply the concepts and you will own me an advisor fee. |
