Listener Mail: Listener questions and comments
- Question from Avalone – What is the take on coinbase. Seems to be making a lot of headlines. Exchange went live this morning. Any takers out there for these bitcoin things?
- Question from VTech – Are there specific GUI challenges for options front ends vs. equities? I know that options have more series than equites. Does that translate into any unique needs for those products vs. standard cash equities? I am studying UX at school with the hopes of breaking into the financial realm after graduation, perhaps on the derivatives software side.??
- Question from Mark Brant – @Options Please explain how options block trades are executed and how to transition to block trading from retail work. Thanks!
