They obliged, and we put the photos together in this slideshow. We're ready for another installment, though, so e-mail your trading desk set-up to jlaroche@businessinsider.com or llopez@businessinsider.com

FAQs

What is the trading desk? ›

A trading desk is a designated area of a bank, investment firm, or trading floor dedicated to the sale and purchase of specific types of products. Many institutions have separate trading desks for the forex, fixed income, commodities, and equities markets. Some institutions may further subdivide the different markets.

Which trading desk pays the most? ›

As the chart below shows, our survey suggests that macro traders earned the most in combined salary and bonus ($484k) in 2023, followed by credit and equity traders, who were on roughly equivalent $400k average packages, followed by commodities traders on $369k.

How does a trading desk make money? ›

Trading desks generate an income by charging a commission on trades they transact. For example, a hedge fund may deal through an equity trading desk at an investment bank and pay a modest fee for each trade. In some cases, brokers may operate their own trading desk by being the counterparty for their client's trades.

What is the trading desk summary? ›

Book overview

The Trading Desk follows the Wall Street frenzy as traders, legendary hedge fund managers, journalists, and corporate executives ride the roller coaster of stock plunges and short squeezes.

What is The Trade Desk controversy? ›

The Trade Desk disabled access to Yahoo's video inventory across the open market on June 17 in a dispute over how the latter labels its media inventory, and while negotiations are ongoing, further repercussions are in prospect.

Why is The Trade Desk falling? ›

While it was objectively a mixed quarter for The Trade Desk since results were fine, the guidance was weak, and the market seems spooked about the future. The Trade Desk is up 15.4% since the beginning of the year, but at $81.36 per share it is still trading 10.9% below its 52-week high of $91.26 from July 2023.
