During an interview with now one our new hires, I imagined the candidate trading on one of our specific teams. \u00a0I thought he could be a very good scalper. \u00a0 I could imagine him succeeding on Team Scalping.<\/p>\n
The candidate had a history of very fast thinking. \u00a0He had done the type of thinking prior to this interview to be good at scalping.<\/p>\n
We would have to train him to Read the Tape.<\/p>\n
He would have to go thru Foundation and Trader Development so he was properly trained.<\/p>\n
Most importantly, he would have to conclude his best trading niche would be scalping and the best team for him would be Team Scalping. \u00a0(There are different Teams at our firm. \u00a0 We match traders with their best Team, as best we can.)<\/p>\n
Towards the end of Foundation, he slipped into my office for a chat. \u00a0He remarked he thought he could be a good scalper. \u00a0I responded, \u201cyeah I saw that in your interview. \u00a0That\u2019s terrific!\u201d<\/p>\n
At the end of Trader Development, this trader slipped into my office again. \u00a0He restated he can scalp.<\/p>\n
Hmmm this was working<\/p>\n
Now it was time for this trader to interview for a Team. \u00a0He interviewed for the scalping Team. He was accepted.<\/p>\n
That trader slipped into my office again the other day. \u00a0Beaming, he said, \u201cdid you hear I am on Team (Scalping)\u201d. \u00a0I had never seen him so happy.<\/p>\n
In fact, I had heard. \u00a0(These traders do realize I work here right?)<\/p>\n
I checked in with the head of Team Scalping. \u00a0He was pumped this Trader was gonna be on his Team.<\/p>\n
This is gonna be fun to watch this trader grow.<\/p>\n
Being on the right Team that fits your talents, when you have talent, breeds very strong traders.<\/p>\n
