Caliber Financial Work Values

Daily Duties at Caliber Financial:

I was responsible for identifying, researching and developing my own trade book and within a team of 5. I was given a position limit of $25 million and tasked generating profits through individual and team ideas. I was hired to be proprietary trader. I would earn a percentage of all earnings generated in the equity markets. First I would have to pass the required licensing exams within 90 dys of my hiring date. After I accomplished earning my series 7 and 55 trading license, in the first 45 days, I was able trade the firm capital. I started within a team of 5 traders where each of us had to prove expertise in money management and knowledge of the firm trading strategies through a trading simulation program. I progressed within 1 month to trading with a $ 1 million dollar position limit. Over the next four years my trading margin grew by over a multiple of twenty. This growth was due to a profitable return month over month, demonstrated expertise in technical analysis, tape reading, and news event trading. I worked strictly on commission, getting a percentage of my earning from the company. My ability to work in a fast paced ever changing environment, with my strong work ethic, and ability to self teach myself the inner working of the equity markets gave me the ability to increase my profitability by more 10% year over year. Each day I would review the news events of the day comparing to my stock trading lists which were generated the previous night. I generated these lists through self created filters and researching events in the stock and reviewing the previous day trading tape for 2-3 hours after the market close and prior to the market opening. I then created focus lists for trading opportunities for the coming day. These lists were constantly changing as events and unfolded.

What they like about Caliber Financial:

Working in an organization that is technologically advanced, creative, and innovative is critical in your assessment of hiring companies. Less important to you are stability of the organization, the length of time an organization has been in business, and the business' plans for the future. You prefer a fast-moving company that will take risks to achieve its goals and objectives. The length of time the company has been in business is irrelevant. Maintaining status quo is unnecessary. You thrive on change, uncertainty and the upside of potential business risks, especially those associated with innovation. Stability for the long haul is not nearly as important as is working in an atmosphere that is charged with a sense of urgency and constant change.
