In the high-speed world of trading, quick thinking and decision-making are essential skills for success. Despite the industry’s transformation into a more algorithmic environment, human traders remain a vital part of the trading process. As such, mental arithmetic is an important skill for traders to master. In today’s highly competitive trading industry, firms are constantly seeking individuals who stand out.
During the hiring process, the ability to perform mental arithmetic is often put to the test. Many trading firms include a mental arithmetic test as part of their initial round of interviews. This is because traders need to be able to make quick calculations and decisions under pressure, often with limited time to analyze market data.
Fortunately, mental arithmetic is a skill that can be improved through practice. At TradingInterview.com, we provide a suite of tools designed to help you improve your mental arithmetic skills.
