Drinks with Cross Options
Last evening we brought together an amazing pool of talented students with backgrounds in fields such as econometrics, mathematics, engineering and quant finance. In collaboration with Cross Options, a cutting-edge trading firm, we explored the dynamic world of options, energy markets, commodities, and futures trading. And what better setting than one of Amsterdam's finest bars🥂
A big thank you to everyone who joined us, see you at the next event!
Accent Circonflexe Groupe In-House Day
Yesterday, we had an amazing in-house event at Accent Circonflexe Groupe! Accent is a trading company founded in 1992. It operates in the financial markets for its own account.
Everyone had the chance to experience what it's like to be a real trader for an hour. From the US market open at 15:30 to 16:30, everyone traded using a paper account. Afterwards, we had drinks at the office bar next to the trading floor, with all colleagues joining in for some after-work fun. We wrapped up the day at Café van Zuylen, enjoying some Amsterdam sunshine.
See you at the next company event!
Options Lecture by Sven Hubens
Sven Hubens taught us all you need to know on options! With more than 14 years of experience at firms such as Optiver, Maven, and CBOE, he knows it all.
Sven currently gives trainings at large market makers and trading firms, so this was an amazing opportunity to get some insights in the professional world of trading. We dove into various topics such as using options in practice, hedging, trading strategies, option dynamics, and more.
We look forward to seeing you all at our next expert session!
Flow Traders In-House Day
Last week 20 students got the unique opportunity to visit one of Amsterdam's leading market makers: Flow Traders. They provided us with unique insights in ETP's, liquidity provision, and what it takes to become a trader or quant.
Next to that we got an office tour and a glimpse of what it's like to be a real trader. We look forward to more company events in the future!
